The purpose of this research is to analyze the indicators of desirability in public spaces around of Abdolazim Hassani shrine in District 20 of Tehran Municipality. The data was obtained by a survey using a 25 questions questionnaire. Sample people including 75 business man who have occupied in the study area for at least 20 years, were selected among the total 1200 people as the responders. They must evaluate the 25 indicators of the space desirability which are classified into three dimensions of physical - environmental, social – cultural, and economic in accordance to the Likert ranges. One Sample t-Test in SPSS software and Kriging tool in GIS were used to analyze the data. Combining subjective and spatial analysis is the novelty of this research. Findings indicate an average level of desirability. Although some indicators of the socio-cultural dimension, such as social security, are very low, In this dimension, the desirability of the space is in higher level. The measures taken have mostly targeted physical dimension of the space. However, very few actions, and ignoring the cultural heritage and neglecting the need to connect with the past and the identity of the place, have caused these measures, even in the dimension, do not provide a satisfactory level of desirability. In order to promote the desirability of the studied spaces, participation of policy makers, planners and urban management on the one hand, the managers of the shrine and the Vaqf organization on the other hand, and the stakeholders are essential.
