Abstract :
Lack of fair access to urban spaces leads to different gendered abilities and rights. In this regard, although the space may be shared and the genders may share, this will vary depending on the place and time. In the meantime, most women face the space and time constraints of sharing urban spaces. Therefore, measuring the gender attitude of the quality of urban public spaces and identifying the weaknesses of these spaces can lead to their promotion and design of suitable spaces for them. Due to the importance of the subject, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the gender attitude of the quality of public spaces in the new city of Alishahr. Therefore, the research method is applied-developmental in terms of purpose and analytical-exploratory in terms of nature, which in order to analyze the data, t-test was used in SPSS software. The statistical population of the study also included citizens over 15 years old in the new city of Alishahr, whose sample size was determined based on the Cochran model of 384 people. Findings of the research by examining 15 variables in 4 main indicators of functional-physical, flexibility, social-spatial belonging and security and feeling of peace of mind show that only 3 variables are suitable for women in the new city of Alishahr in public spaces and in general the quality of the public spaces of this city is not favorable for them. Also, based on the test of two independent samples t, the hypothesis of equality of means (H0) is rejected and it can be stated that there is a significant difference in terms of satisfaction with the quality of public spaces in the city (more satisfaction of men)..
