Abstract :

Urban landscapes are one of the most important urban spaces and can play an important role in making urban spaces citizen-centered. Based on this, the aim of the current research is to analyze and identify the indicators of citizen-oriented urban landscape planning and design. In order to achieve the research goal, interviews with experts were conducted in two stages, and the statistical population consisted of 19 experts. In the first interview, the indicators of citizen-oriented urban landscape planning and design were extracted, and then in the second interview, the importance of the extracted indicators was determined by forming the actor-target (expert-indicator) matrix. In the following, the data extracted from the interviews were entered into MACTOR and ATLAS.ti software and analyzed. The results showed that the indicators of per capita increase of green spaces, creation of opportunities for social interaction and strengthening of human role in urban landscape design are the most frequent, most important and convergent and the indicator of the development of artistic activity spaces is the least repeated, the least important and the most divergent index in the planning and design of citizen-oriented urban landscape. In general, it can be said that urban planners and designers should pay special attention to the indicators presented in the current research and based on prioritization for planning and designing a citizen-oriented urban landscape, so that by creating a desirable urban landscape, they can gain the satisfaction of the citizens. and strengthen the sense of citizen-centeredness of urban landscapes in them.
