Nowadays, the study of the presence of women in urban environments is one of the main concerns of managers and urban planners. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to measure the desirability of the key factors influencing the category of women's sense of security in the urban open spaces of the immediate urban area of Nayser. This research is part of applied research in terms of its purpose and descriptive-analytical research in terms of method. The data was collected through a questionnaire with four main indicators and 23 items through the review of valid research documents, and the sample size was calculated as 375 people based on Cochran's formula. To analyze the findings from field studies, the factor analysis method was used in SSPS software. The results indicate that the security of public spaces in Naysir region is low in terms of physical-spatial, social-behavioral and accessibility from the perspective of women; While in terms of monitoring, the level of security of these spaces is average. Also, the results of the factor analysis show that among the 23 extracted indicators, 4 important factors can be emphasized in improving women's sense of security, which are: environmental reconstruction and increased police surveillance (with a special value of 4.94), improving the quality of the environment Riders and pedestrians and intelligent surveillance (with a special value of 3.37),
