According to the research purposes and the components studied, the type of applied research is descriptive and analytical. The required information is obtained using library resources, documents and field studies. A questionnaire was designed considering the dimensions of urban spaces or the dependent variable of the study and promoting urban landscape vitality which is the independent variable. The statistical population of the study included all the residents of Yasuj (13,532 people) from whom a sample of 383 people based on the Cochran formula was selected randomly. The Pearson correlation coefficient (between functional and aesthetic dimensions) and nonlinear regression (between physical dimensions and viability) and the SPSS software were used for the analysis. The results of the research showed that there was a meaningful difference between the dimensions of functional, physical, habitable and aesthetic urban spaces in urban landscape (0.00) which is highly less than the p-value of 0.05. As a result, various recommendations such as proper planning of city floors, furniture craft, rebuilding and organizing spaces, creating different service uses, and making artistic elements in Yasuj have been offered.
