This study examines how parts of the public space that offer the possibility for standing contribute to vibrancy during public events. The aim of the paper is to investigate how different arrangements of temporary structures affect the positions of potential zones for standing and, therefore, the vibrancy of public spaces. Using Trg Slobode (Liberty Square) in Novi Sad as a case study, it investigates the connection between space for standing and staying and spatial dynamics during public gatherings. The paper emphasizes the key factors that shape the perception of lively space and point out the importance of its adaptability. These findings enhance understanding of functioning of public spaces during events, stressing the importance of creating vibrant environments that cater to visitors' diverse needs.
