Assessing the Qualitative Components Affecting the Security of Urban Pathways, Case study:Central Passageways of Hamedan City

The purpose of this study was to assess the qualitative components affecting the security of urban thoroughfares in the central roads of Hamedan and the method for so doing was descriptive-analytical. A researcher-made questionnaire was used to collect research data. The reliability of the instrument was confirmed by Cronbach's alpha test with a coefficient of 0.74. The statistical population was shopkeepers and passers-by in the area. Due to the uncertainty of the number of the study population, 384 people were determined as the sample size using the Cochran uncertain statistical population formula. The study of security in the streets of Hamadan is a subject that has no background and its results are complementary to the previous studies that Izadi and Haghi have dealt with in Imam Square of Hamadan.The results showed that Bouali Street has the highest security compared to the other five passages. In this street, activity and land use with 0.87 operating load was the highest position. Other streets in terms of security conditions were Shariati Street (activity and land use with 0.72), Takhti Street (activity and land use with 0.66), Babataher Street (activity and land use with 0.63), Shohada Street (role of social supervision with 0.48) and Ekbatan Street (role of readability with 0.42). The results indicated that the factor of activity and land use had the greatest impact on the security of urban roads in Hamedan.
