Design principles of public open space in the tidal area (case: Limboto lakeside area in Gorontalo city)

Abstract

This study aimed to formulate the design principles of public open space in the tidal area of Lake Limboto in Gorontalo city and create a design simulation of lakefront public open space that can adapt to the tidal behavior of Lake Limboto. Formulation of the design principles were done by identifying aspects that need to be considered (issues of concerns) and the components to be arranged (the scope of issues) obtained from literature review and analysis of the study area. From the analysis of tidal patterns, this study also identified an open space typology of the lakefront that is riparian open space, tidal open space, and littoral open space.
