Physical-spatial factors role in urban space securityCase study: regions 6, 10 and 12 of Tehran

 In this regard, one of the priorities of urban planning is improving citizen security. According to fast urbanism development, one of the managers and urban planners' concerns is increasing citizen sense. Sometimes physical proceedings such as protection, guarding, control are planned in urban spaces to achieve and intensification urban security, whereas increasing citizens' security sense is more important in terms of using physical-spatial planning tools.

 spatial criteria in creating security sense for residents and studying the role of physical-spatial factors in increasing citizen security sense with applied approach and descriptive-analytical method. Case samples have been selected based on physical-spatial features cognition, including Administrative, decayed, and historical zone in three Regions of Tehran metropolitan.

 One of the essential physical features of District 6 is its location in the center of Tehran on the one hand and the establishment of the most essential administrative-service uses with trans-regional, urban, and even national functional scale in it on the other hand. District 10 is one of the urban areas of Tehran, which is located in the center of the city, and District 12 is considered one of the old districts of Tehran and has most of the old neighborhoods of Tehran. has taken.

Paying attention to the sense of belonging and creating social connections and more presence of residents in public spaces is the most important in creating a sense of security and we should try to create spaces in urban areas with public participation to improve residents' interactions to promote a sense of security in urban areas
