Abstract :
The growing trend of urban development and the fundamental changes in the body structure of cities have made it imperative to pay attention to the quality of urban spaces. The low level of quality of space, which is considered an unprotected space, is strongly influenced by the security of citizens and especially vulnerable groups such as women. In this regard, this study emphasizes the role of unprotected spaces in Jiroft, to assess the extent of its relationship and its impact on women's security. The necessary data were collected using a questionnaire. Using the independent t-test, Kendal's correlation and regression, first, the quality of urban spaces and then its relationship and its impact on women's safety were determined. The results of the study, which were extracted from a sample of 383 people, show that nine quality indicators of space with a score of 2.7 are lower than the average of 3, which indicates the development of defenseless spaces in the city of Jiroft. Also, the relationship between unprotected spaces and women's security can be confirmed with a coefficient of 0.577 and an error level of 0.000. Finally, using the regression test, the effect of women's security on these spaces with a correlation coefficient of 0.655 and an impact level of 41% indicates the effect of independent variables on dependent variables. It can be stated that due to the dissatisfaction of women with the quality of urban spaces and the positive relationship between these spaces and the level of security, it is necessary to review urban design, especially in marginal areas.
