Abstract:
Signage or attributes are one of the city elements that influence the spatial layout, especially the visual landscape. Its existence take an impact to the visual quality, the uniqueness, diversity and values used. If there is a deviation from the rules or design theory, the visual landscape which should be attractive will ultimately damage the townscape. Deviations in the use of road space or city parks and environments that should be able to be used by many people, in fact are often used by certain groups for their own interests. Many people did not think that behind the freedom to use the public space, there are many regulation to share with the other and there is many specific regulation to prevent it. It cannot be denied that this happens a lot, one of which is in the city of Medan with its unique areas. This article explains several cases starting with theories related to open space and policy as well as the implications if deviations occur. Using qualitative methods, this article explains empirical facts found in the field
