The commission of public arts rarely involves public discourse, hence the people’s opinions of these public arts are not known. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore people’s perception of public arts found in Kuching, Sarawak. The research employs the use of survey research approach with a non-probability sampling technique. The sample size for the study was 96 samples whereby the respondents consist of residents of Kuching aged 20 years old and above. Additionally, a field observation was carried out to produce an inventory of public arts found in the city of Kuching. Data collected were analysed in two stages. The first stage uses descriptive statistics, particularly frequency counts, means and standard deviations to describe trends and patterns. The second stage of the analysis was carried out using several statistical tests to test the hypotheses. The public generally have positive views about public arts in Kuching where 21 percent of the respondents agree that the attractiveness and uniqueness of public art enhances the visual quality of space and place in Kuching. Results from the Chi-square test show that there is no significant relationship between respondents’ general perception of public art and agreement to participate in the public art process. Analysis from the z-test also found that there is a difference in proportion between the perceived importance of public art as tourism attraction and as a mean to preserve the history and culture. Public art not only enhances the visual quality of the urban environment but also serves as an effective place-making element and contribute to the local economy. By conducting the research, it is hoped that it may improve public awareness, understanding and appreciation of public art in Malaysian cities zulaihi UTM 161 p.
