Abstract

Improving the desirability of spaces, which means that the spaces should be acceptable by the people and should affect the users, is an important desire and goal of urban regeneration. The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of urban regeneration in the desirability of Haram public space in District 20 of Tehran Municipality. It used a descriptive-analytical method based on survey data collected from 240 old businesspersons in the space. To analyze the data, one-sample t-test in SPSS Software and structural equations in AMOS Software were used. Findings indicate that space conditions for the presence of women and people of different ages, pedestrian transportation facilities, space safety, good access, user comfort, and a sense of belonging to the space, were the 25 indicators with better conditions. Since the implemented projects were more physical in nature and less cultural or social, the indicators and dimensions related to these dimensions have also undergone more changes.
