Abstract

This paper attempts to reveal relations among actors at urban public spaces. We examined the relations by exploring activities of the urban society in picnic activity. In studying the relations among actors we use the actor - network theory Latour (2007). We conducted data collection strategy such as drifting from psychogeography Debord  (1955, 1992) and bodily experience Pallasmaa (2012).  The findings are the relations among actors within picnic activities in urban spaces shows a different kind of relations. The exploration of picnic activities on urban space shows us the relationships among users, events, spaces defines a variety of changes in the function of urban spaces.
