Development of Urban Tourism with the Emphasis on the Sidewalk Construction of Main Streets (Case study: Tehran Bazar)

When we view the city from above, we see it as a cohesive holistic picture, full of spaces. Therefore, with designing each of the constituent elements, popular and enticing environments are necessary. The revitalization of urban centers has a great effect on the quality of life of citizens in economic, social and environmental aspects, and on the other hand achieves improving the morale of citizens from a social perspective and by creating a public environment for sightseeing and shopping to a vibrant and developing economy. The sidewalk has a great social role that today these passages are paved and empty of cars with open restaurants and lots of benches are the best place to spend leisure time in modern countries. Thus,, as a case study, we studied the Tehran Bazaar sidewalk, which is in the 12th district of Tehran Municipality with a daily floating population between 1-1.5 million people. The location of Tehran Bazaar in the south of the sidewalk absorbs many citizens to this area and this issue requires special attention in order to provide services in accordance with the volume of sidewalk users. The purpose of this study is to investigate the revitalization of the market sidewalk with the focus on sidewalk construction and its role in the development of urban tourism. This research is a descriptive-analytical study and data collection was performed by documentary or library method. The results show that the development of urban tourism with the focus on sidewalk construction and urban market revitalization has a direct and positive effect on economic well-being, increase social interaction and increase tourists. In the context of sidewalk with the valuable texture, there is the possibility of enhancing facilities and activities that create collective and public space.
