Abstract :

Introduction and purpose of the research: urban appearance is the first representative of any city, which somehow represents the history, history and culture of that city. Among the components of the urban landscape, we can mention sidewalks, urban furniture, green spaces, etc. The main purpose of designing sidewalks is to create a sense of vitality and the flow of social life. Diversity and permeability are two important factors in creating a sense of vitality in sidewalks. Urban furniture is another main component of designing urban spaces that increases the role of quality and efficiency of spaces. One of the main goals of designing urban spaces is to improve the quality of life and create a calm and attractive environment for citizens. From the point of view of citizens, the presence of security in different levels of the city, which makes them feel calm, is also important. Providing this kind of security always has various components including social control. In this research, after examining the principles of sidewalk standardization, it has been tried to introduce and analyze the Taleghani sidewalk of Ilam province.Research method: This article is of a descriptive-analytical type and was conducted in the period of autumn and winter of 1401 with the participation of 237 citizens of the city who were selected by systematic random sampling.Findings: The important point of the implementation of this project is its location in the central core of the city, which causes the reduction or non-use of vehicles, as well as the lack of parking space in the central core of the city, which is not generally understood.Conclusion: The majority of citizens agree with the implementation of such plans, but the important point is the location of this place for the implementation of the work, which is somewhat ambiguous and ponderable from the point of view of the participants, such that 58% of those who agree and those who oppose the location of the implementation of the plan They are 42%. It can also be suggested that before the implementation of projects similar to the mentioned topic, detailed and engineered studies must be done in order to avoid many problems in the future.
