摘要

Resilient urban design enhances public space quality, yet public interaction introduces complexities when users overlook resilient elements, diminishing benefits. Existing research adopts a design-centric perspective, overlooking how the public actually responds to resilient spaces. Addressing this gap, this study constructs a public-centric evaluation framework for resilient public space quality, investigating: How do public interactions reflect resilient design’s influence on space quality? How do they reveal its successes and limitations? Applying a revised Gehl’s Twelve Quality Criteria framework integrated with seven resilient characteristics through environmental observations, this study assesses 12 spatial dimensions across protection, comfort and enjoyment. Findings recommend dynamic management, experiential lighting, infrastructure flexibility and inclusive aesthetic design. By integrating resilient characteristics into Gehl’s framework and positioning public interaction as a key evaluative dimension, this study offers practical implications for urban planners and recommends future research linking physical design, behaviour and experiential perception.
