Abstract :
Introduction: Providing pedestrian movement in the city and creating suitable urban spaces for the presence of people in the urban environment, has led to the design of new trends and perspectives in the field of urban planning and architecture in the world. In fact, we are considering an approach that expands urban spaces to revive the presence and participation of citizens in the public sphere of the city.Cities like Sanandaj, which have a long history of urbanization, are facing the problem of burnout and traffic due to the developments of modernity and mechanization, And they have the greatest need for this kind of changes and researches. Aim: The main goal is to select the appropriate axis using effective walkability criteria in Sanandaj city to become a walkable street. Method: Current study is applied type, And uses a descriptive-analytical method. For this purpose, the favorable streets of Sanandaj were selected to become a walkable street. Then, according to experts and previous studies, three functional, socio-economic and socio-environmental components were selected and 19 characteristics were introduced for them. Via weighted Shannon's entropy model, And in this regard, TOPSIS was used as a multidisciplinary decision-making method. Conclusion: From the research findings, the ranking of the selected streets has been obtained, according to which Imam Khomeini Street with a priority coefficient of 0.6589 as the best and Ferdowsi streets with a coefficient of 0.5466 and Enghelab with a coefficient of 0.3466 and Taleghani with a coefficient of 0.2828 as ranks were selected as the next rankings. Finally, suggestions were made to increase the level of success and its realization in order to strengthen walkability in Imam Khomeini Street.
