Pedestrian position in the realization of Salem city (a case study of Khorramabad city of Lorestan)

In recent decades, due to the indiscriminate expansion of cities and the increasing importance and role of cars in the city, the role of pedestrians in urban spaces has gradually faded. This has reduced the vitality of public spaces and reduced the space suitable for social interactions in the city. In pursuit of creating more vitality and transforming urban settlements into human-centered cities, many cities have built vehicle-free spaces called "pedestrians". Shahada Street is one of the old and famous streets of Khorram Abad city, which is located at the intersection of commercial and entertainment centers. The research method used in this research is based on the goal (developmental-applicative) and based on the nature (descriptive-analytical). Finally, to analyze the information and provide suitable strategies for pedestrianization of Shahada Street, SWOT analysis method from Salem city, and Delphi technique with a sample size of 2 urban affairs experts in Khorramabad city have been used. The result of this research has shown The results obtained from the evaluation of the matrix of internal factors (ife)) are equal to 1.32 and the total weight score of the external matrix (EFE) is equal to 3.33. According to the results obtained from the construction of sidewalks in the urban axes of Shahada Street, Khorramabad city is in an adaptive position (WO) and it should be possible to grow from the capabilities, existing potentials and the implementation planning of the sidewalk construction of Shahada Street in Khorramabad city. The economy of the city, the human scale in the urban space, the possibility of creating facilities for spending leisure time on the pedestrian path, revitalizing historical memories on the sidewalk, etc., will also achieve the promotion of social interactions and sustainable development. It is a social and physical environment with facilities that make it possible to perform all life activities with ease and optimal efficiency. In old neighborhoods, for various reasons, these capacities and facilities are not used to their maximum capacity, and they become disturbed due to the passage of time. In the beginning, excavations have been done in connection with the city of Salem and its dimensions and elements.
