چکیده:
Regarding the issue of public transport, cycling and pedestrian orientation and forbidding vehicles from entering the area of human interaction, can play a vital role in enhancing the quality of urban spaces and psychological welfare of citizens. Old urban fabric with hidden physical, historical, and cultural values has been the best evidence of urban identity and meanwhile, the life and growth of this fabric has prevented the internal erosion of the city and has limited its unlimited expansion. This paper gives an introduction to the role, importance, issues, and limitations of urban fabrics of cities like Zanjan in relationship with traffic and the necessity of public transportation development, policies, and alternatives from the urban planning point of view. The methodology used was based on 7 parts including causes and factors affecting development of the pedestrianism movement, position locating human movements and pedestrianism in the intervention methods in the old fabric, public success in improving and renovating the old city fabrics, obvious records of implementation in old cities and today’s missing ring, feasibility study of implementing urban walking paths in the old fabric of Zanjan City (legal, and spatial-physical background), indicator-making, paths potential survey, and implementation of the model in GIS environment, and finally, selecting paths capable of pedestrian sidewalk. Our findings revealed that Middle Sadi path ranked first place, followed by the West Imam Khomeini path as a secondary option.

This paper gives an introduction to the role, importance, issues, and limitations of urban fabrics of cities like Zanjan in relationship with traffic and the necessity of public transportation development, policies, and alternatives from the urban planning point of view.
The methodology used was based on 7 parts including causes and factors affecting development of the pedestrianism movement, position locating human movements and pedestrianism in the intervention methods in the old fabric, public success in improving and renovating the old city fabrics, obvious records of implementation in old cities and today’s missing ring, feasibility study of implementing urban walking paths in the old fabric of Zanjan City (legal, and spatial-physical background), indicator-making, paths potential survey, and implementation of the model in GIS environment, and finally, selecting paths capable of pedestrian sidewalk.

The process consisted of seven sections including factors influencing the ‘pedestrianism movement’ development, the position selection of the human movements and pedestrian- oriented in intervention methods in the ancient fabric, universal success in upgrading and renovating the old urban fabric, clear run history in the ancient cities, and today’s missing link, i.
Whereas, based on the structure of the communication network, administrative instruction for modifying the structure of the public transportation systems, and Iran’s and world experiences on developing this urban space as an important intervention strategy, walk paths in Zanjan City can be site-located and designed.
