چکیده:
Urban public spaces are those open urban spaces that are considered the sites of social interactions of communities. Today, the quantity and quality of urban spaces have become one of the most important criteria for development and livability in cities. These relationships require specific spaces for formation and interactivity; in fact, urban space has been the center of economic, social, cultural, and political activities of cities. The importance of this issue stems from the human need, as humans, due to their specific nature, require an extensive chain of interactions with the environment, phenomena, and objects around them to continue life. Due to their comprehensiveness and accessibility to all, public spaces can be providers of social justice, and activating these spaces to attract various segments of society leads to solidarity, social bonding, and also creates a place for the production and reproduction of culture. However, what is very important is the alignment of such spaces with the needs and desires of citizens, which enables the presence of citizens in the city. Therefore, paying attention to the physical and functional quality of such spaces, as well as the definition and creation of various cultural and social events by designers in public spaces, can help instill a sense of belonging, create shared collective memories, and recover the collective identity of citizens in the city, thereby creating sustainable cities and societies. In this article, an attempt is made to provide a definition of public spaces and the relationships between physical components and the vitality of urban space. Additionally, after defining the pedestrian walkway as a place through which the most interaction and contact between humans and urban space occurs, the qualitative components of the pedestrian walkway will be mentioned to achieve a vibrant walkway that can provide the necessary context and platform for people's presence and walking, including vitality, flexibility, and safety.
