Co-working spaces have emerged as a response to the trend of virtual work, offering flexibility and collaboration opportunities. However, their sustainability faces significant challenges, including vulnerable business models, diverse user needs, and high operational costs. This research highlights the tension between community idealism and organizational realities, addressing issues of commodification and stratification that could exacerbate labor inequality. Furthermore, monotonous use of workspaces for over six hours often leads to user fatigue. Despite the availability of various amenities, these do not necessarily attract creative workers. Therefore, exploring effective standards for facilities and activities within co-working spaces is crucial to meet user demands. This study aims to provide insights into how co-working spaces can adapt to user needs and create a more productive and sustainable work environment. A lack of understanding regarding interactions within co-working spaces and minimal community engagement also contribute to the various challenges faced.
