Abstract :
The rapid pace of change in cities has led to disparities in social, economic, managerial, and spatial structures, which are evident in public spaces. These public spaces serve as an indication of a city's biodiversity, and developing sustainable public realms is crucial in addressing urban challenges. This study aims to explore Talebov's utopian perspective on community-oriented public spaces and compare it with the viewpoints of sociology and urban experts to devise an effective strategy for sustainable public spaces. The study utilizes a descriptive-analytical methodology with a qualitative approach, focusing on fundamental research goals and employing a post-exploratory strategy within the explanatory paradigm. Data collection was conducted in a library and analyzed using Atlas software. The findings revealed similarities between Talebov's idealist approach and the realist theories in terms of management, social dynamics, and economic aspects. However, Talebov specifically emphasizes the visual dimension and places importance on aesthetic values. According to Talebov's theory, religion can be one of the primary philosophies underlying the stability of a country or a city; other theories have only suggested the existence of this element. Based on Talebov and other theorists, if these five dimensions are applied harmoniously in public spaces, it will result in their sustainability, which is where today's cities progress and improve.
