Nonethelessare not enough paid attention in some new districts of cities and are less seen playing and activating in public spaces. This neglect of children in planning and designing environment is more intense in cities of Iran while the process is well activated in developed countries in all social, psychological and functional dimension. because of these reasons this paper attempt to recognizing advantages and disadvantages of old and new parts of cities focusing on CFC principles and indicators. The research methodology is primarily descriptive-historically (in gathering indicators and resulting them) and then field survey (considering the indicators in districts). To attaining the referred goals this research has proceed to collect and considering the principles and indicators of CFC in different scientific sources (including books, papers and scientific reports) and will reach to CFC indicators framework. In fact This indicators framework is produced by gathering all the indicators in a matrix and deducing the most repeated indicators from. these indicators as the main and most important indicators of CFC are: safety and security- access to natural green space- existence of open public spaces with various activities- access to main equipment, facilities and services including educational, health and sportive services- providing suitable public transportation particularly suitable bike and walkable routes- participation and giving value to children- existence of healthy environment without rubbish and all pollutants- providing fun and creativity environment for children. then some sub indicators are provided for each indicator to evaluating them more exactly. Each indicator has two sub indicator at least. In this paper two districts are studied and compared. First sepahan shahr that is one of the new towns of Isfahan which its residents have the most variety of cultures and nations in districts of Isfahan. The second district of this study is joobareh which one of the old and historical districts of city with residents who include low income people of city. These two case studies will be assessed and compared by these indicators and sub indicators vie AHP method to attaining child friendly environment. evaluating the impacts of indicators and sub indicators is done by negotiation among 10 urban design student which are aware of this research. At end disadvantages of total urban design and modern urban design will be understood by attaining the final consequence (introducing joobareh as more child-oriented district). In fact it can be resulted that one of the reasons of this result (less point of sepahan shahr about being child friendly oriented) is lacking of livability and friendly environment, a problem which one of its reasons is neglecting the basic needs of children, because absolutely the needs of children are needs of other class of society and perhaps the reason of this matter is total urban designing of this new town, a problem that has not been occurred in joobareh by slow evolution of this district during the centuries.

Many educators believe that the personality of every human being is formed in the first 6 years of his life. On the other hand, the expansion of vertical constructions and the use of minimal space to create houses today do not give the opportunity to build yards and safe alleys for children's physical activities (such as running, playing, exercising, etc.). It is in this context that the role of public green space in the city for adults, especially children, becomes more prominent. Therefore, by examining the needs and problems that children face in urban environments, urban space designers can plan and design appropriate to provide favorable conditions for the physical, mental, emotional and social development of children and the flourishing of their talents and interests. Security and be actively present. However, the problem of lack of green space and its inappropriate distribution can be seen in many cities in Iran. One of the main reasons for this is the lack of water supply and dry air. The city of Semnan, as one of the desert cities with special climatic conditions, needs a favorable urban green space. In the present study, which is written in an applied type and based on a research-analytical method, data collection has been done in the form of documents (library) and field. A questionnaire was prepared to examine the research indicators and distributed among different sections of society. Then, using GIS and analysis, the significance coefficient was assigned to each of the indicators. Finally, according to the research formula of the study proposed by Mr. Kambiz Bahram Soltani, the proposed per capita amount for the use of green space in the city of Semnan due to unfavorable climatic conditions, 28 square meters was proposed. The result of the research shows that the city of Semnan, considering the climatic conditions, is far from the appropriate per capita research proposal. Finally, solutions to improve green space are suggested. Manuscript profile -

Therefore, if one seeks realization of sustainable urban development focusing on realization of children’s rights in urban environments, he/she needs to establish a relationship between concept of right to the city by “Henri Lefebvre” and urban sustainable development in order to reach an applicable plan through this relation and true understanding of the problem for realization of child friendly city. In this article which has a qualitative nature in terms of methodology, the researcher has tried to present applicable principles for realization of child friendly city approach in Iranian cities focusing on theoretical framework and analysis of experiments of successful countries for creating child friendly city through inductive reasoning. According to this study, four basic principles may be proposed for realization of child friendly city, i.e. avoiding to have a one-dimensional approach to creation of a child friendly city and formulating applicable plans and strategies with interdisciplinary approach, recognizing education as the basis and foundation of development, prioritizing local culture in creating child friendly cities, considering city as an educational laboratory where a child can both learn and experience what he/she learns simultaneously (harmony of education and lived experience).
