Abstract (1218 Views)
Aims: The achievement of a prosperous urban environment encompasses a diverse array of subjective and objective elements. In this pursuit, it is crucial to consider physical indicators, as they play a pivotal role in the creation of a "successful" locale. One strategy that can be employed is the cultivation of social relations. Insufficient social connections within neighborhoods can give rise to issues such as a diminishing sense of belonging and a weakened collective spirit. The aim of this article is to identify the various components of the place-making approach and analyze its influence and function in shaping the social relations within urban spaces.
Methodology: This is a study that is applied in 2021 in Tabriz, and is conducted using the quantitative approach. In order to assess the components developed in the conceptual model, methods of survey research and descriptive analysis have been utilized. To achieve a comprehensive examination of the role of placemaking in the restoration of social relationships, it has been taken into consideration. The data has been gathered through desk studies and the collection of 384 questionnaires. In the section of data analysis, various neighborhoods of Tabriz have been assessed based on the statistical tests of regression, Spearman, Friedman, and ANOVA.
Findings: The physical, social, management-policy, perceptual-semantic, and economic aspects constitute the extracted elements of placemaking that exert a substantial influence on the restoration of social interactions as perceived by the populace.
Conclusion: The enhancement of urban spaces is predominantly driven by a combination of densely populated streets within the vicinity, stringent security measures, and an exceptional sense of individuality.
