Abstract: (7 Views)
Security has always been a fundamentally important and essential concern for humans. In Maslow's hierarchy of needs, the need for security is positioned immediately after physiological needs as one of humanity's most critical requirements. The objective of this research is to examine the impact of urban architecture on women's sense of security in Tabriz. Specific goals include identifying the physical components of urban architecture related to women's security, determining the most influential components, and measuring the degree of impact for each component. This descriptive research employed a survey methodology. Library and documentary studies were utilized to develop the theoretical framework. Data were collected field-based (via a researcher-made questionnaire) using a multi-stage cluster random sampling method from 387 women aged 15 to 80 in Tabriz. The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by experts, and its reliability was assessed using Cronbach's alpha (0.781). Data analysis was performed using Spearman's correlation and regression tests. Results indicated that women in Tabriz report a high sense of security. Questionnaire items related to physical structure, visual disturbances/proportions, women-specific activities, spatial reputation, and public transportation services showed the greatest impact on women's perceived security. Hypothesis testing revealed statistically significant correlations (p<0.01) at the 99% confidence level between women's mean security perception ranking and physical form and environmental quality in Tabriz. Additionally, significant correlations (p<0.05) at the 95% confidence level were found between women's security perception and the meaning index in urban design, physical domain services/activities, and urban mobility and access conditions.
