Tujuan penelitian menganalisis tempat bermain anak di permukiman padat dan menyiapkan konsep rancangan ruang publik yang lebih aman dan nyaman untuk anak. Penelitian menggunakan metode gabungan dengan analisis kuantitatif menggunakan analisis deskritpif dan analisis spasial, sedangkan analisis kualitatif dengan Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). Hasil analisis anak-anak bermain di ruang publik di sekitar rumah yang masih belum aman dan nyaman dengan pengawasan orang tua, dan konsep ruang publik multi fungsi menjadi alternatif yang terpilih untuk rancangan tempat bermain yang memperhatikan aspek keamanan, keselamatan, dan kenyamanan anak. Kesimpulan penelitian bahwa rancangan ruang publik multi fungsi yang memperhatikan keamanan dan kenyamanan anak-anak menjadikan ruang publik yang lebih ramah sebagai tempat bermain anak.

Urban development have resulted in changes in land use and limited public space for children's play activities in densely populated areas. This research aims to analyze the existence of a children's playing space in densely populated areas and provide a public space design concept that is safer and more convenient for children. This study uses a combined method with quantitative analysis using descriptive and spatial analysis, while qualitative analysis uses the Analytical Hierarchy Process. The results showed that children played in public spaces around the house that were still not safe and comfortable for them with parental supervision. Furthermore, the concept of a multi-functional public space became the chosen alternative for designing a playing area in a public space that considers aspects of security, safety, and convenience for children. This study concludes that the design of a multi-functional public space that pays attention to the safety and convenience of children makes a more friendly public space as a place for children to play.
