چکیده

فضاهای عمومی شهری به‌عنوان مهم­‌ترین بخش شهرها، عنصر ضروری برای زندگی اجتماعی هستند که سبب حرکت در فضاهای شهری، تبادل اطلاعات و آگاهی، اجتماع‌پذیری و غنی‌سازی کیفیت محیط‌­های شهری می­‌شوند. هدف از پژوهش حاضر بررسی و ارزیابی شاخص­‌های احساس راحتی شهروندان از حضور در فضاهای عمومی و باز بخش مرکزی شهر ارومیه می‌­باشد. روش پژوهش مقاله حاضر، توصیفی- تحلیلی با رویکرد آینده‌پژوهی است. ابزار گردآوری اطلاعات پرسشنامه محقق ساخته، و متغیرهای آن برگرفته از مبانی نظری می­‌باشد. در این پژوهش 30 تن از کارشناسان خبره در زمینه‌ی فضاهای عمومی و آینده‌پژوهی به‌عنوان اعضای پانل به‌صورت نمونه‌­گیری غیر احتمالی هدفمند تعیین شدند. به‌منظور استخراج پیشران­‌های مؤثر بر راحتی و اجتماع‌­پذیری در فضاهای باز و عمومی بخش مرکزی شهر ارومیه، 43 عامل به‌عنوان شاخص نهایی، جهت تحلیل ساختاری به نرم‌افزار میک‌مک وارد شد. در نهایت تعداد 12 متغیر به‌عنوان پیشران‌­های کلیدی به دست آمدند. یافته‌ها نشان داد؛ پیشران‌­های مبلمان شهری مناسب و توزیع بهینه آن، روشنایی مناسب خیابان، آسایش بصری و محیطی، دارای بیشترین اثرگذاری­‌ها بوده و در مرکز چرخه علّی پیشران‌ها نقش مهمی را ایفا می‌­کنند؛ و پیشران وجود خرده‌فروشی در مسیر و بهره‌گیری از فضای سبز مقصد پیکان بسیاری از پیشران‌های بوده است که بیانگر اثرپذیری شدید این پیشران‌ها از سایر عوامل می‌­باشد. در نتیجه این پژوهش می‌­توان گفت که با توجه به پیشران­‌های به‌دست‌آمده و بهبود وضعیت این پیشران‌­ها، فضاهای باز و عمومی بخش مرکزی شهر ارومیه می‌­تواند به محیطی فعال و راحت جهت ارتقای تعاملات اجتماعی تبدیل شود و موجب سرزندگی و پویای بیشتر در این بخش گردد.

چکیده [English]

Urban public spaces, as the most crucial component of cities, serve as an essential element for social life. They facilitate movement within urban environments, promote information exchange and awareness, foster social integration, and enhance the overall quality of urban atmospheres. The aim of this study is to examine and evaluate the indicators of citizens’ sense of comfort when present in public and open spaces within the central district of Urmia city. The research employs a descriptive-analytical approach with a futures studies perspective. Data collection was carried out through a researcher-designed questionnaire, with variables derived from theoretical foundations. In this study, 30 expert consultants specializing in public spaces and futures research were purposively selected as panel members through non-probabilistic sampling. To identify the key drivers influencing comfort and sociality in the open and public spaces of Urmia’s central district, 43 factors were initially considered as indicators for structural analysis using MICMAC software. Ultimately, 12 variables were identified as key drivers. The findings revealed that suitable urban furniture and its optimal distribution, adequate street lighting, visual comfort, and environmental quality had the most significant impact, playing a vital role at the core of the causal cycle of drivers. Additionally, the presence of retail outlets along pathways and the utilization of green spaces were among the most influential drivers, indicating a strong interdependence between these factors and others. In conclusion, based on these key drivers, improving their conditions can transform the open and public spaces of Urmia’s central region into vibrant and comfortable environments, thereby enhancing social interaction and revitalizing this area.
