Urban pedestrian analysis in the central district of Tehran with a futures studies approach

pedestrian movement as one of the oldest, most economical and healthiest methods of human movements in urban spaces. the aim of this approach is to make safe and efficient pedestrian movement facilities, so it is one of the main axes of urban planning and design. The aim of this study was to evaluate and assess the capability of the road network for urban pedestrian orientation based on the model of sustainable urban development with a futures research approach. The present research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical in terms of nature and method. In this research, library method and questionnaire tools have been used to collect information. The statistical population of the research is experts, specialists and experts related to the subject of research in Tehran. The research sample was selected using a Delphi panel. MICMAC software and Scenario Wizard were used to analyze the data. Based on the results of the present study, it was found that vegetation indices, human scale, urban space equipment, flooring and surfaces, social participation, path continuity, variety of form and body and visual proportions have the greatest impact on pedestrianism in Tehran. Then, the situation of urban pedestrianism in the future was examined using scenario design. The results of the scenario showed that in the most probable case, the pedestrian situation in Tehran by planting trees and increasing vegetation, increasing attention to human scale, increasing the quantity and quality of urban equipment, increasing the quality and quantity of flooring, increasing the level of participation Social, attention to the continuity of paths, increasing the proportional diversity of form and body and increasing visual proportions increases, which requires more attention to promote the attractiveness of urban spaces in order to encourage increased pedestrian capacity.
