The square is one of the important elements in the city center that has a function of public space and the philosophy of the city. Tangerang City is an important city in the Jabodetabekpunjur national strategic area. The existence of the square becomes important to support the role of the City of Tangerang in the region. However, Tangerang City Square still has many problems, and the provision of facilities does not meet the needs of the community. The square design guidelines can be an option for the square to fit the functions and community's needs. Therefore, this study aims to develop Design Guidelines for Tangerang City Square Area. This research is an exploratory study with historical and evaluative approach. Data was collected through observation and questionnaires to visitors of the City Square in Tangerang. Sampling was done through stratified sampling and obtained a sample of 96 respondents. Based on the results of data processing, it is known that there are four important criteria that form the basis of the design of the square, namely identity, comfort, accessibility, and attractiveness. Tangerang City Square has not been able to achieve all of these criteria. The criteria which are considered to be the best conditions are comfort, while those that have the worst conditions are identity criteria.. Guidelines for designing the Tangerang City Square Area are made to overcome the difficulties that the square needs. The guide becomes a reference to provide the components needed in order to reach the square that identifies and is accommodating to diverse activities as well as to the needs of visitors.
