The author’s theoretical framework for social interaction and cohesion is shown in a hierarchical tree. The top three categories are infrastructure, uses, and demographics. Within these categories, the categories of social space, social housing, and jobs are shown. This shows that the space is used for these activities. The goal of this framework is to help people live their lives and to inhabit. Demographics is a type of statistical analysis that focuses on the characteristics that divide people into different groups. Some of these include age, culture, and income. The two most relevant aspects of this study are infrastructure and IT. Similarly, when social needs are shown in the chart, people’s needs can be known more clearly. For Superilla, people’s basic needs require toilet access and water access, and for needs, cell strength and public Wifi are the main needs of people. The crowd in Superilla is generally between 21-51 years old. On the other hand, to design bike-friendly traffic, pedestrian streets and car lanes are only distinguished by blind lanes. The barriers are very friendly, and the car is free to stop at the roadside to pick up people
The use of outdoor space is a primary social interaction component. One of the most important factors that people consider when it comes to choosing an outdoor space is shade. This is because trees canopy is very important in an urban area. Aside from tree species, other factors such as water consumption also affect the health of trees. Drought-tolerant trees are often a good option to avoid the need for large-scale irrigation. Shade-loving plants (near drainage) are also a good choice for streets shaded by tree canopies. On the other side, heat is also a big element of the social community. People prefer shady places for people to rest and children to play. Bunch and facilities that are exposed to the sun will not be used, making the crowd unevenly distributed in the public environment. Similarly, people prefer shady walking paths through the block.
