Abstract :
Behavioral settings, as areas of urban life, can play an important role in the civic life experience of specific user groups, including women. This study seeks to investigate the factors and components affecting the presence of women with an emphasis on "environmental perception" in behavioral settings. The present research is of applied type and its research method is descriptive-analytical. After formulating the theoretical framework with the help of reviewing previous research, the results have been tested using the "quantitative survey" method and with the help of a questionnaire and using the Likert spectrum. A case study is the Goldasht Ma'ali Abad neighborhood, and in order to survey the status of women's presence in the neighborhood's behavioral settings and the factors influencing it, 376 questionnaires were distributed and collected among women present in the neighborhood spaces. Data were analyzed in SPSS software environment using Friedman tests, correlation and regression. The findings show that the desirability of the behavioral base and the optimal perception of the urban environment have a significant effect on the presence of women in the urban space and there is a significant correlation between the desirability of the behavioral settings and the perception of the environment with strong intensity.
