It has caused many changes in the residence, the quality of the living space in various dimensions of social, cultural, environmental, economic and so on. The approach and method of dealing with these issues is inconsistent with the philosophy of human sociality, the return to human-centered life in the city. One of the dimensions of this approach is the creation of pedestrian streets in the city center. Pedestrian orientation is a favorable condition for pedestrians to be able to walk around the city easily. This feature includes aspects such as connectivity, readability, safety and security, and access to the services needed by pedestrians. It is closed to the movement of the cavalry or is completely dedicated to the movement of pedestrians. Pedestrian paths can be defined as roads that are far from the sidewalks and are used by a wide range of users, including pedestrians, runners, cyclists, etc. Pedestrians are passages with the highest level of social role in which there is complete control with pedestrians and motor vehicles are used only to serve the current life in the passage. and act as a meeting place (both self-planned and self-planned), and provide a space for business, music, art, and other social and cultural activities. Having this place is a necessity for urban life today. Currently, the existing sidewalks face problems and problems, such as traffic problems (motorcycle movement and stopping cars on the sidewalk, etc.), physical problems (level difference in the sidewalk, lack of He mentioned the communication bridge, destruction or unsuitability of the floor, etc.) and service issues These issues in themselves can have a direct impact on the quality of the people living in those areas, both good and bad. Before turning these passages into sidewalks for the residents, a solution must be considered so that the desired plan has a good and acceptable quality for the citizens.Methodology: The present study is descriptive-analytical and combined with case study.

In the social and cultural component, improving the social status is at the highest percentage of satisfaction and then the impact on daily life and the lowest score is related to improving the cultural status that should be considered more. In the traffic component - access, lack of attention to commercial shops to bring and take goods, lack of attention to medical centers that are mostly located in this part of the city, lack of parking, which has caused the traffic load in the area to be pulled to the area where people live Lack of proper green space are the weaknesses of Bu Ali sidewalks. In the physical component, the quality of the street view has already improved and gives a better feeling to citizens and residents, and also the sidewalk has good urban furniture. We can point to the sky line and the existence of inappropriate signs.
