Abstract (972 Views)
Aims: The present study endeavors to discern the factors and criteria that prove effective in enhancing the perception and cognitive representation of urban space among citizens.
Methodology: This particular applied investigation was executed between the years 2022 and 2023 at the renowned city of Tabriz. Through cluster sampling, four prominent sidewalks within Tabriz were designated as the primary focal points. Urban pedestrians utilizing these sidewalks constituted the statistical sample, from which a random selection of 100 individuals was made. Consequently, each pedestrian's contribution accounted for 25 individuals. The research instrument employed was a comprehensive questionnaire consisting of 40 items, meticulously constructed based on relevant literature and theories. To analyze the findings, both the chi-square test and Pearson correlation were employed.
Findings: In general, the evaluation of the pedestrian crossings in Tabriz city has yielded positive results for both genders, although women have exhibited a greater inclination to be influenced by the crossings due to the fact that they enhance their visibility.
Conclusion: The enhancement of citizen presence is closely associated with three fundamental aspects, namely the mental image, the concept of readability, and the concept of liveliness. Among these aspects, the dimension of proportions has the most significant impact on the mental components, while the dimension of nature holds the utmost importance in terms of the urban design components. Furthermore, in the realm of presence, the mental image components take precedence, followed by the readability and vitality components.
