Abstract
Women make up almost half of the population living in cities. However, the issue of securing these segments at the community level is always a major challenge for architects and urban planners. One of the urban places that are used by urban dwellers in urban areas is the city's urban parks. Therefore, the present study aimed at identifying factors affecting women's insecurity in urban parks, seeking solutions to this problem and improving the conditions of such places. The results show that the effective factors in women's unsafe feeling in urban parks are categorized into, physical, Functional, social and perceptual-visual indicators. These factors includes vegetation density, spatial diversity, existence of extraneous and peripheral spaces, division of territory, proper furniture layout, being 24 hours use, proper entrance and exit location, proper routing in space, artificial care, the fame of a space, gender domination in parts of the park, visual communication with different parts of the park, proper lighting at night, brightness and clarity of space in the minds of people and the existence of physical safety in the park. The above items are a set of factors that can affect women's sense of security or insecurity towards the city park.
