Abstract :
Various researchers have largely come to the correct understanding that paying attention to the concept of urban green space is a fundamental necessity for increasing the sustainability of communities. The purpose of this research is to develop an appropriate planning strategy to improve and increase the sustainability of Yasuj city with an emphasis on the green city. The present research is classified as an applied-developmental research based on its purpose and in terms of research method, it is a combination of library, descriptive-analytical, causal and survey methods. The statistical population of this research is Yasuj households, managers, experts and urban specialists. Two questionnaires of people and one questionnaire of officials were used to collect information. Cronbach's alpha method was used to measure its validity. To determine the sample size using the Cochran method, 384 questionnaires were distributed among the respondents in a simple random manner. Descriptive and analytical statistical indicators including factor analysis and Friedman test were used to analyze the information. The results of the factor loadings show that from the perspective of citizens, the feeling of social security with an average rank of 0.717, security and peace for the family in the park area with an average rank of 10.54, the quality of public transportation performance with a rank of 9.4, and from the perspective of managers and experts, the most important influential factors are the resting and sitting spaces and the landscape view (0.840 and 0.812, respectively) and surface water with a rank of 0.883.
