The objective of this systematic literature review model research is to ascertain, characterise, and evaluate the evolution of public space study trends in Indonesia concerning the evolution of its utilisation. The author uses scientific research to support his claims that this study trend is an expression of societal concern for the value of urban public space. The information gathered includes the extent of the trend in scientific publications on public space in Indonesia, the identities of the scholars who work on the subject, and the most recent research questions pertaining to the topic. According to the findings, joint investigations with scholars from other nations worldwide have resulted in a notable increase in the number of publications on public space in Indonesia. A number of factors affect the annual increase: availability of research data, financing support for study, and the interest of researchers in public space. Twenty-firstcentury publications peaked in 2021, according to the Scopus database. In particular, the construction and revitalisation of new representational public places, are among the strategies that the results of this study help shape for Indonesian municipal governments. This is very important because now and in the future, the needs of urban communities for public spaces, especially green open spaces, are increasingly urgent. For this purpose, the development of public spaces is on the future social agenda of the government and urban development planners.
