Abstract

the aim of this study is to improve safety and provide reliable and efficient pedestrian movement facilities and is one of the main axes of urban planning and design . due to the increasing day of designer and designer interventions based on auto city and negative consequences of this , it is necessary to pay attention to the concept of walkability and moving toward the formation of new cities . the main objective of this research is comparative study of the factors of walkability in the neighborhoods of north and south of narmak . the present study is an applied research and the method of research is descriptive - analytical and quantitative . the method of gathering information is library , documents as well as survey methods have direct observation and questionnaire . according to the main purpose of this study to compare the walkability in the target neighborhoods , the comparison of means and also to determine the factors of walkability in the target neighborhoods , factor analysis technique was used in spss software . the results show that the average of walkability in the seven - basin neighborhood is higher than the north - abad district . the most important factor of walkability is the " neighborhood services diversity " with explained variance , whereas in the seven districts of narmak , the " environmental quality " with explained variance was identified as the first factor and factor loadings .
