Investigating the Impact of Urban Design on the Behavior of Citizens in the Case Study of Modares Street in Kermanshah

The indicators of desirable public spaces are also related to individual perceptions and social and cultural values, that these needs influence people's behavior in the environments in front of them and are one of the important factors of environmental quality criteria. The purpose of this research is to investigate the impact of urban design on the behavior of citizens (case example: Modares Street, Kermanshah).

The current research, in terms of the applied-developmental purpose and according to the nature of the study and the proposed hypotheses, the research method is descriptive-analytical (survey) and correlational. According to Cochran's formula, the sample size of citizens in Modares Street is considered to be 246 people. Also, the sampling method is a simple random method. In order to collect information and know the region, two library and field methods (questionnaire) have been used. In data analysis, statistical methods and Tukey's tests, one-sample T and Pearson's correlation were used.

The results showed that there is a correlation coefficient of 0.052 with a significance level of 0.008 between the variable of behavioral patterns and urban design in the direction of users' behavior in relation to space. This means that the two mentioned variables have a direct correlation with a confidence level of 0.99. Between physical and economic variables, there is a correlation coefficient of 0.135 with a significance level of 0.009. This means that the two mentioned variables have a direct correlation with a confidence level of 0.99. Also, the results showed that there is a correlation coefficient of -0.052 with a significance level of 0.008 between visual-aesthetic and environmental variables. This means that the two mentioned variables are not correlated.The highest degree of influence can be seen in social components and then in economic components with a close score, and the physical criterion has the lowest degree of influence in the influencing factors of urban spaces on behavioral patterns in the mental image of citizens
