Unprotected urban spaces are among the spaces that have a high chance of crime and violence due to their physical and social characteristics.

Criteria of social anomaly, lack of lighting facilities and pollution also ranked first to third, respectively. Ranking based on the Vikor index showed that Moin Ostad neighborhood has the best situation among other neighborhoods in District 9.

The sum of the variables used (spatial quality and social and psychological quality) predicts 55.1% of the variance of defenseless urban space. the results of regression analysis show that spatial, social and psychological quality at the level (α <0.01), are able to predict the defenseless urban space of District 9 of Tehran Municipality.
