	abstract = {Coastal communities in Indonesia heavily rely on public spaces for various aspects of their livelihood and well-being. There spaces serve as crucial hubs for economic activities, enabling residents to engage in commerce, trade, and other livelihood endeavors. Furthermore, public spaces provide a platform for fostering social interactions and maintaining a harmonious relationship between the community and the natural environment. This research aims to investigate the significance of public space within coastal communities, particularly in the context of the hazardous situation they face during rob flood events. These floods pose significant threats to the safety and functionality of the public spaces, impacting the daily lives and economic activities of the coastal communities. Consequently, there is an urgent need to address these challenges and ensure the resilience and sustainability of the public spaces in coastal areas. Using a qualitative research design, the study combines observational methods and interviews with individuals who actively utilize these areas. The findings of the research demonstrate that the coastal communities have a strong dependence on public space. Also, the findings provide insights into the design and management of public spaces that cater to the unique needs of coastal communities of developing and maintaining proper public spaces for them. By providing safe and functional public spaces, policymakers and stakeholders can contribute to the overall well-being and sustainable development of these coastal communities. },
