Deliberation and Assessment of Constituents Contributing to Improving Security Feeling Level in Inefficient Urban Areas(Case Study: Zone 14 of Tehran)

Whereas security provides citizens with well-being and comfort, it is one of the important constituents of life quality, and has been always the center of attention of urban planners. Hence, nowadays urban planners stress the necessity of some sort of development which covers all dimensions of citizens' lives; and they consider such a development as a sustainable development which mankind deserves. One of the aspects of such a sustainable development is enjoying a desirable place to live in, and being provided with security. Promoting individuals' security feeling while leading to improvement of their environment reduces abnormalities. The present survey is of descriptive – analytic type and takes benefit from library resources to explain the research literature and background and to provide a model. Taking into account the volume of the sample, 383 questionnaires have been provided. Data gathering was done, using Pearson correlation coefficient and SPSS. The results of the present research indicated that the residents' security to some extent is materialized, and in terms of security the under-study region remains in average conditions (0.416 level of the sustainability) but security feeling should be thoroughly established. The highest level of security feeling among the under- study constituents for the citizens is the constituent of staying home alone.
