The existence of the gated community in Indonesia was formed based on the similarities between ethnic groups as observed in Balinese, Arab, Chinese, and several other villages. This initiative was further improved in the 70s through the government's efforts to encourage the involvement of private developers in the housing sector and this led to the emergence of the second form of a gated community which is a closed residential area with legally privatized public spaces. The morphology of these public spaces, however, has different typologies and characteristics based on the form, utilization, and on-going activities. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the morphology and characteristics of public spaces in gated community settlements in order to understand the criteria to plan public spaces and shape livable space in the study area. The research used the descriptive qualitative method with variables such as the form, type, activity, and use of public space in gated community settlements. Data were collected through interviews, questionnaires, and field observations, and the results are expected to be able to determine the criteria to design livable public spaces in gated community settlements.
