A study on the coffeeshop space in Vinh Long City, Vietnam

The recent introduction of pseudo-public space to Vietnam has significantly contributed to increasing the area of public spaces in urban area. Not only is coffee-shop space where people drink coffee and gossip as before, but now it is also a place for entertainment, relaxation and social interactions. Similarly to studies on such privately owned public spaces in foreign countries as pocket park, this research aims at understanding the usage nature of coffee-shop space in Vietnam’s cities, particularly Vinh Long city. The research also discovers the distribution of coffeeshop space network in urban configuration, types of coffee-shop space and their spatial properties on basis of data collected by observation, investigation, survey and Open Street Map. Furthermore, the research uses analytical tools deriving from space syntax theory. Findings will be detailed in this paper.
