The Public Observation Project: Extra Credit Assignment - Eunjin Jung What did you do?  In this project, I observed cafe baristas and students in the cafe in front of Hanyang University.  What did you learn?  Based on Whyte's urban sociology, I learned the conditions to become a successful public place by observing how people interact in public places.  And I could observe that people's choices vary depending on their surroundings or circumstances in the public space.

Also, the thought of the presence of “the stage” and “behind the stage” gave me a deeper understanding of the interaction process.
