This research investigates the impact of exclusionary spatial measures and devices within urban public spaces, focusing on Robert Sobukwe Street in the City of Tshwane. Employing a case study approach, the study aims to understand how these measures affect public accessibility and the user experience of the built environment. Data was collected through site visits, observations, and a comprehensive review of existing literature. The analysis involved mapping and documenting various exclusionary devices identified on-site. The documentation of exclusionary spatial measures and devices was delineated as those that are physical implementations such as anti-sitting spikes, surveillance cameras, palisade fencing, and excessive signage among others. The findings highlight the significant role of urban design in shaping inclusive public spaces and the importance of addressing exclusionary practices to foster equitable urban environments. The case studies reveal that exclusionary spatial measures and devices can acquire new, overlapping meanings based on their deployment context. It concludes that the perception and impact of these measures are determined by their current state, proximity to one another, and surrounding environment; influencing public space perceptions and user experiences regardless of their original intention. It also concludes that the excessive extent to which exclusionary spatial measures and devices are deployed within Robert Sobukwe Street contributes to a negative perception of the urban public space. This report advocates for more inclusive urban design practices that promote positive user experiences and social well-being in public spaces. Ultimately, this study contributes to the broader discourse on urban accessibility and the transformation of public spaces in South Africa.
