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.

The aim of this study is evaluate the quality of urban living environment in Baqershahr, Tehran. The type of research was a combination of objective and subjective methods. Data collection tools were documents, statistics and reports of related organizations and institutions. The quality of the living environment was evaluated with 23 measures in the form of pollution, ecological, infrastructure and urban facilities indicators in 5 degrees. Due to the heterogeneous importance of indicators and metrics, AHP model was used to determine the weight of indicators. Documentary data were combined with mental data and by devising a mathematical model and while determining the weight for the measures, the final result of the evaluation was expressed quantitatively and as a relation of the ideal situation. The results showed that 4 measures are in the very good range, 4 measures are in the good range, 4 measures are in the medium range, 8 measures are in the poor range and 3 measures are in the bad range. In terms of scores of 1 to 5 for the 5 spectra evaluated, the weighted average of the measures in terms of weight application for the measures was 3.31 and without it were 2.91. The results indicated that the study area has 66.1% of the desired quality of life and therefore the quality of living environment in Baqershahr is evaluated at a moderate level. High per capita urban green space and the rate of utilization of places from piped water and urban gas networks are strengths and air pollution due to the industrial nature of the region and proximity to Tehran and the presence of desert around, lack of sewerage network and low per capita cultural, sports, health and education were among the important shortcomings that were observed in this study.
