Town squares or alun-alun, as an open space of a city in Indonesia, accommodates a recreational area for residents. Simultaneously, many town squares are developed and managed to meet the needs of a rapidly growing urban population. Ujung Berung square, which was revitalized in 2014, is interesting because it has been used as a place for residents’ interaction activity. The digital era development that can change a person’s behavior in interacting does not make Ujung Berung square empty of visitors, so this town square’s function needs to be revealed. This qualitative study used grounded theory to discuss the background of a phenomenon through respondent data. The data were collected by distributing online questionnaires. The correspondence between visitor activities with motivation and time duration indicates the four functions of Ujung Berung square, namely the recreational, community, explorative, and athletic. Recreational function accommodates recreational activities with a duration of less than one hour. Explorative function accommodates culinary activities with a duration of one to two hours. Athletic function accommodates sports activities with a duration of two to three hours. The association function accommodates social interaction activities with a duration of more than three hours. The hypothesis findings form the basis of designing Ujung Berung square that can be optimized in its activities and fulfill people’s needs.
