| Summary: | The millennial generation is a generation that has grown since childhood in a
community environment where the majority use gadgets. Currently, they are a
productive generation that has a fairly high dependence on gadgets, because their
activities are facilitated by the very rapid development of Information Technology
(IT). Their real space preferences are influenced by this, where space not only
serves as a facility, but also as a place that gives them a special meaning. For
millennials, space is a tangible and imaginary facility, reflecting their need for
comfort, connectivity, and meaningful experiences.
Coffee shops are the most popular facilities for millennials, where they often do
activities alone or together. The author research how the millennial generation
interprets public space, with a case study on coffee shops as a place of their
activities. In coffee shops, millennials not only enjoy coffee, but tend to spend long
hours enjoying the atmosphere, doing something on their own, or hanging out with
relatives.
This research method uses the Mix-Method category of exploratory properties of
the type of Explanatory Sequential Mixed Methods Design. Exploration of
sequential mixed method design with three-stage design. This design aims to
explore research problems related to the preferences of the millennial generation
in interpreting places in public spaces. Exploratory research refers to the initial
research that lays the foundation for the next stage of research.
Data processing in phase 1 research using the CFA (Confirmatory Factor Analysis)
method was obtained through a closed questionnaire and disseminated through
online media. The questionnaire uses 7 likert scales that revolve around the
preferences of the millennial generation towards public space through the
framework of the Place Attachment theory through 3 references (Topophilia, Place
Dependence and Place Identity). The theory produced 56 questions consisting of 3
parts, namely, (1) 17 questions related to Topophilia, (2) 21 questions related to
place dependence, and (3) 11 questions related to place identity. There are 6 factors
that are formed with 20 dimensions through confirmatory factor analysis.
Topophilia has 2 factors that are formed from 7 dimensions, namely (1) Natural
zoning with 4 dimensions (natural materials, natural styles, natural lighting and
iv
natural air circulation) and (2) Zoning of odors with 3 dimensions, (there are
smoking areas, non-smoking areas, and odorscapes). Place dependence has 2
factors formed from 6 dimensions, namely (1) Personal zoning with 3 dimensions
(quiet space, self-work area in public space, and space cleanliness) and (2) Feature
zoning with 3 dimensions (There are power plugs, free Wi-Fi, activating gadgets
without obstacles). Place Identity has 2 factors that are formed from 6 dimensions,
namely (1) Narcissistic zoning with 3 dimensions (many spots for selfies,
instagramable, there are reviews of places in online media) and (2) Zoning with 3
dimensions (good food/drinks, modern style, and a space with a simple
atmosphere). The dimensions that are formed are interpreted into the meaning of
space for the millennial generation as the meaning of perception, the meaning of
association and the meaning of Connotation.
The data obtained in the second phase of research is the validation of the findings
of the first stage through direct observation in the field through hidden recordings
to see the mapping of the activities and behaviors of the millennial generation in
coffee shops through the criteria from the previous findings of the first stage.
Information obtained through interviews with the millennial generation as users
when coffee shops are open on weekdays and weekends. Closed observation is
focused on the behavior of the millennial generation's activities as users of space
and facilities and infrastructure in the coffee shop. The data obtained were then
described and associated with the theory of Place Attachment as a positive
emotional association with coffee shops that can be indicated by the attachment of
space for the millennial generation with a feeling of pleasure, a feeling of
belonging, a feeling of satisfaction, a feeling of dependence and a feeling of
belonging or making the place part of their identity.
In the third stage of the research, verification was carried out on the results of the
research in the previous two stages which referred to the main purpose of the
research on the meaning of public space for the millennial generation. This is
characterized by attachment to space through observation of behavioral activity
preferences and interviews with respondents who are in coffee shops, which are
then described in the form of descriptions. The meaning of space for the millennial
generation can be associated with "Place is more than as a friend" and space as
the meaning of the CCP symbol "Connectivity", "Comfortability" and
"Productivity" is shown through its attachment to a place in public spaces,
especially coffee shops.
