| description | This research studies diversity as a parameter in the built environment in two types of open spaces in colonial towns
of Taiping and Georgetown. The richness of natural landscape elements, scales of spaces, distribution of activity
patterns, and variety of visual stimulants in the open spaces were among the dimensions of diversity explored in this study. This paper is exploratory in nature, which applies a qualitative method. It involves descriptive and affective aspects of environmental experience of users of the two open spaces. The study suggests that diversity means
socialization, which can be achieved through gradual and natural occurring assimilation. |
