The presence of pedestrians in urban spaces creates social life and character. Walking on foot is the oldest, most normal and the most essential shape of human move and walking is still the most important possibility for visiting places, activities and feeling the motion and emotion of life, to find out the values and hidden attractions in the environment. Walking has major important in the perception of space identification, feeling of belonging to the environment and conceiving qualities of environment. Today, the number of pedestrians has decreased because most people do not use walkways. They instead use motorcars as an alternative to commute and, since motorcars play the major role in transportation systems, everything in our cities are built depend on car’s speed, (quantities to qualities) and pedestrians and their needs are ignored as major members of city maker. So Urban planners and designers endeavor to find out the best way to eliminate roadway and convert to walkway, in order to recreate this livelihood to the city center. It becomes necessary to have this urban character that able to attract people to use pedestrian walkways as an indication to successful urban place. Pedestrian ways that are rebuilt after years, because of decrease of the people’s safety and people’s need to walk, are the major part of urban spaces, where provide for all people, possibility of interrelation, walking, spending times of leisure, playing, shopping, gathering and manifesting, meeting, sitting, looking at, accessing, travelling, advertising, informing and …. One of the forgotten issues that is the important problem in our cities is no attention to the urban scape in the pedestrian ways. Urban scape is the sensible environment that effect on people’s behavior and its results.
