This research focuses on the design of an event and entertainment center that addresses the key challenge of effective crowd control and user circulation. As social beings, humans have a natural desire for constant interaction, discussion, and entertainment, making event centers essential public facilities. However, managing the diverse set of users and their varied needs within these centers can be a significant challenge. The primary aim of this study is to design a functional and adequate event and entertainment center that can facilitate smooth crowd control and user circulation, thereby enhancing the overall experience for all participants. To achieve this, a qualitative research approach involving case studies and literature review was adopted The findings revealed that crowd conflicts and user circulation are major issues faced by event and entertainment centers. To address these challenges, the proposed design incorporates well-articulated circulation patterns, strategic use of signage, and the decentralization of major activities within the center. In addition to the main concourse, the facility includes spaces such as an auditorium, multipurpose halls, conference hall, game arcades, cinemas, indoor sports halls, a restaurant, and a gymnasium. By focusing on effective crowd control and user circulation, this research aims to create a versatile and functional event and entertainment center that can accommodate a wide range of social gatherings and events, catering to the needs of diverse international communities, organizations, corporate bodies, and government agencies.
