<br/><br/> This study aims to determine the level of place attachment in Davao City’s leisure and recreational quasi-public spaces and to learn  how place attachment can be enhanced in these places through design by  identifying the social and physical components of a place that significantly  contribute to its development. There has been an increase in quasi-public  spaces for leisure and recreation in Davao City for the past years.The  study was conducted to help promote people-place bond in these places. A total of four leisure and recreational quasi-public spaces were visited in  order to gather the needed data through observation, photo  documentations, surveys and interviews. The data gathered were then  analyzed to identify the social and physical components that significantly contribute to place attachment. The research shows that users do not have a high place attachment in Davao City’s leisure and recreational spaces and the design of these spaces can be enhanced through fromulating design guidelines based on the results of the study. A food park and nightlife hub is proposed that would enhance place attachment and promote people-place bond.
