Abstract :

Today, one of the central perspectives in the planning and design of public spaces is the discussion of gender justice in the design of these spaces. Over the past few decades, the relationship between gender and urban space has become one of the main debates in the world. Therefore, presence in public spaces is essential for all groups, regardless of gender, age, income level, job, etc. In this regard, the purpose of the present study; Spatial Analysis of the Position of Women in the Design of Public spaces (Case Study: Zahedan City Areas). This research in terms of applied purpose and in terms of nature and research method, it is a survey. The data required for the research were collected by documentary-field method (questionnaire and observation). The statistical population of the present study was selected using Delphi method of 20 local planners and elites and city managers and university professors from among (women). Fuzzy Mamdani model was used for data analysis. The results showed that the situation of the five areas of Zahedan in the dimensions of designing public spaces (semantic, functional, social and physical) is unfavorable. Also, the final results of prioritizing the areas of Zahedan city according to the dimensions of public spaces design using Fuzzy Mamdani model showed, area (one) of Zahedan city, given the final non-fuzzy value as the output of the fuzzy inference system, it is given priority.
