Among the studied variables, citizens' satisfaction had the most standard deviation (9/70), also urban furniture had more scatter compared to other variables (7/99). But furniture design, construction and equipment indexes had the lowest standard deviation (1/37) and as a result they had the least scatter. In the inferential findings of the research with using nature tools, relevant goals and hypotheses, for investigating research hypotheses used Spearman correlation coefficient, Wilcoxon Test, non-linear regression.
In the main research hypotheses examined the effect of organizing urban furniture with the view of the city.

The value of correlation coefficient was 0/699 and correlation coefficient of correction was 0.489. So 48/9 % of the beautification variance of appearance city can be explained with combination of design, construction and equipment of urban furniture.
In the third research hypothesis taken into consideration the relationship between environmental factors and urban furniture which with 99% of reliability and less than 0.01 error has been confirmed the relationship and its' effectiveness. On the other hand according to R calculated, this relationship was equal to 0/214 directly(positive) and somewhat weak. So environmental factors in four Region had very little effect.
