Aims & Backgrounds: The aim of this study is to Evaluate the role of urban security components in enhancing women's presence in public spaces along Keshavarz Boulevard in Tehran.
Methodology: This research is a quantitative study conducted to examine the impact of urban security factors on women’s presence in public spaces in Keshavarz Boulevard. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire. For data analysis, statistical tests including one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and linear regression model were applied in SPSS to investigate the relationship between security components and women's spatial presence.
Findings: The one-way ANOVA results indicated that only three indicators—spatial design and physical form, past experiences of insecurity, and gender perception in space—showed significant differences across age groups, while the other variables did not. The Pearson correlation test revealed a significant and positive relationship between physical, social, and mental dimensions of security and women's spatial presence, with the highest correlations found for urban cleanliness and spatial design. Regression analysis further confirmed that the physical (79%), social (56%), and mental (64.9%) dimensions had a substantial explanatory power regarding women's presence in urban spaces.
Conclusion: The findings demonstrate that the physical, social, and mental aspects of urban security significantly influence women's participation in public spaces. Specifically, environmental design, cleanliness, and subjective experiences of insecurity play a major role. Therefore, a comprehensive and justice-oriented approach to urban policymaking is essential to improve women’s spatial inclusion.
