 The current research aims to identify the factors and criteria that are effective in improving the perception and mental image of the citizens of the urban space.

 This applied research was carried out in 2022-2023 at Tabriz city. Among urban sidewalks, four main sidewalks of Tabriz city were selected using cluster sampling. The statistical was urban pedestrians on the sidewalks, from among whom 100 people were selected using random sampling. So the share of each of the pedestrians was determined to be 25 people. The research tool was a 40-item questionnaire that was designed using research background and related theories. The chi-square test and Pearson correlation were used to analyze the findings.

 In general, Tarbiat Pass was described as the most successful pedestrian in Tabriz city due to its unique attendance, after that Valiasr Pass was determined as another successful pass of Tabriz with the good feelings it gives. In general, the pedestrian crossings of Tabriz city have been evaluated positively for both women and men, but women have accepted more influence from the crossings due to the fact that they make their presence more visible.

 According to the studies, improving the presence of citizens is related to the three dimensions of mental image, the concept of readability, and the concept of liveliness, respectively. According to the findings, the most important impact among the mental components is related to the dimension of proportions (0.89) and among the components of urban design to the dimension of nature (0.87) and in the field of presence, in the order of mental image components. In the first place and after that were the components of readability and vitality.

Creating spatial justice in public spaces has always been one of the biggest challenges for managers, planners, and architects. Thus, spaces must design to meet other groups’ different needs and preferences. One of these needs and differences between the two sexes is their difference in their sense of security. This study aims to explain the criteria and indicators of the security component in the form of a conceptual model and investigate the effect on student presence. The approach of this research is mixed, and its method in the qualitative part is content analysis; in the quantitative part, it is a survey, and in terms of purpose, it is practical. The research findings show that the criteria and indicators of the “security” component affecting student presence consist of the constructive dimensions of public open spaces and in three physical dimensions: “physical security” and “physical access”; Functional: “Spatial separation” and “Territorial control” and perceptional: “legibility” and “visual order,” and after analyzing the data and confirming the proposed conceptual model, it was found that all criteria of the security component except the visibility of the space are predictive of presence and what is more important between men and women in terms of security criteria for presence, respectively, based on the size of the effect, including legibility (0.23), visual order (0.23), physical security (0.18), Territorial control (0.15), Spatial separation (0.12), visibility (0.06) and physical access (0.05). Therefore, the environment’s response to the different needs of men and women in the sense of security leads to their more significant presence in space.

Throughout history, gender has been an important factor in the formation of a person's position and, accordingly, his multiple roles. Societies have always assigned different roles to men and women according to their different cultures. So the role of men in the formation of urban spaces is very important, considering that at least half of the citizens are women, it is important to pay attention to the existence of spaces for the active presence of this segment of society in the city. While examining the status of indicators affecting the presence of women in urban spaces, the present research deals with identifying the factors affecting the presence of women in historical markets. For this purpose, the "Historical Market Complex of Urmia City" was selected as an urban space in the historical context for the case study. Considering that markets play a central role in all urban activities; The question is, what factors play a major role in the emergence of this issue? The obtained results indicate that currently, despite the various capacities in the discussion of attendance and also relative satisfaction in some components, the market has not performed properly regarding the attendance of women and is suffering from fundamental problems. Among the most important challenges in this discussion is the non-compliance of the comprehensive needs and demands of women with the practical, physical and social infrastructures available in the market; So it does not allow the presence of a large part of women

The pavements are an indispensable part of the cities. What we face today as the pavement is rife with the inattention to both physical and mental type of presence and movement of the pedestrians. The value of the city originates from the presence of pedestrians and people living in the city. Finding the criteria through which we can improve the capacity for presence has converted into one of the basic priorities of the urban practitioners and theorists and it has been set as the goal to achieve concerning the pedestrian path in the axis of Farrokhi Street of the city of Yazd.
The research method of the present research is analytical-descriptive and it is applied in terms of purpose. In the present paper the library, documental and field (observation) study methods have been employed to collect information. In the present paper, the pavement of axis of Farrokhi Street in the city of Yazd has been investigated based on the description and analysis of the environmental conditions in different systems of urban design. The status of the site was determined using SWOT analysis and the aggressive strategies according with the site were taken into consideration. The criteria to redesign the pavement result from the theoretical studies and three alternatives have been proposed considering these criteria. Finally, the alternatives were obtained with the scores 0.38, 0.20 and 1.37 respectively using the Analytical Hierarchy process (AHP) where the third alternative with the final score 1.37 was selected as the best alternative. The results of the research suggest that there are some factors in the study scope such as inappropriate furniture and weak flooring, all-inclusiveness, inappropriate lighting at night etc. that are involved and effective in the capacity for the presence of the people

1. Human beings needs to presence in urban areas. One of the most important types of psychological needs is communication and social interaction. Social interactions in life, Due to the importance, can be an asset for the individual and society. Therefore, human presence occurs when its external environment condition is in favorable state and so, prepares space for such interactions to increase the number of citizens. On the other hand, commercial streets have an important role to contribute to creating and sustaining social interaction citizens greatly. But, in today urban areas, shopping malls and commercial spaces do not appeal much to citizens and so, too, constructive social interaction doesnt form in them.
2- Theoretical bases: The citizen and the urban space have inevitable mutual relationship with each other. So that the activities of citizens is ambient of environment, conditions and their qualities. For many members of the community and many individual activities and social satisfaction from quality of urban spaces, is an important key to determine the use or non-use of urban spaces. Thus, to achieve the quality of urban spaces, a quick and summary look at the quality of the urban environment theorists and researchers on criteria and indicators; at First. Then, according to various models witch offered by theorists, can conclude advantage and strengths dimensions of the desired environmental quality models: § The physical dimension (those indices that have been raised and dealt with structure and exterior space).
§ The environmental dimension (environment and urban spaces that contribute to space sustainability).
§ The functional dimensions (this aspect of urban spaces to meet the different needs and depends on a variety of citizens by available space)
§ The perceptual dimensions (taken from the indices witch meaning and understanding by human beings).
3. First, the aim of this study is examining the quality of environmental aspects affecting on citizens presence in urban areas. Then, another aim is to indicate and assessment of commercial spaces quality and its effects and dimension on presence. This research is a descriptive analysis and used questionnaire method for following objectives. Collected data analyzed by using SPSS statistical software. The case study consisted of three groups of citizens, residents, workers at Rahnamayee Commercial Street, in Mashhad urban area. The sample of study is 300 people in each of citizen groups which have been completed 100 questionnaires. The linear regression analysis was used In order to explain the role and importance of the qualitative aspects of the environment on the presence of citizens in commercial spaces. Accordingly, the findings show that about 28 to 31 percent of the citizen dependent variable explained by the independent quality of the environment variables and other variables indicated about 65 percent of other changes. Among the qualitative aspects, the perceptual indicators has distinctive role on citizens behavior and then, functional and the physical dimensions, have the least roles. While, according to significance factor, the of perceptual and functional parameters are meaningful dimensions. Thus it can be said that the perceptual and functional parameters have a distinctive role in environmental quality and other aspects (physical and environmental) haven’t determination role in such areas.
4. From the past to the present, purpose of commercial spaces and refer people to them is to fixe human needs, However, the shopping is a "recreational activity", today. So today there is no accommodation between the objectives and functions of commercial space. The most significant variables that have changed over time: first and foremost, human needs, and secondly, is the performance of commercial space. What people today towards commercial spaces, touching atmosphere due to human emotions, pleasure, joy, peace, walking, seeing and being seen, and etc, and all of them referred and returned to psycho-spiritual needs of human communication. Therefore, increasing the satisfaction of citizen's outcome can be attributed qualities of urban spaces. There are also qualities of space, resourced from components of urban space parameters, such as: the physical, environmental dimension, the functional and perceptual sense dimensions. Thus, the findings indicate that the qualitative aspects that influence the presence in commercial spaces, primarily due to the perceptual sense, then, are the functional properties. This means that man be entered to where the space that be understood, and the next time the priority place related to function and fixed his needs. Finally, such as true defined spaces and management could improve environmental quality and citizen satisfaction, and are encouraged to attend the much more citizen's presence.
