Abstract

Urban streets, as part of public spaces in cities, play an important role in meeting human needs. Many urban theorists consider the urban street as one of the main components of an urban system, because in addition to their functional role, they increase socialization in urban spaces. The visual appearance of cities is formed by a complex system of signs, social, physical, managerial and environmental features. Provides generating visitors. In this regard, the aim is to study the indicators of urban appearance on the behavior of citizens on Darvazeh Street in the city of Rania. The research method is descriptive-analytical. Data were collected using a questionnaire and a survey. Findings were analyzed by statistical analysis in SPSS software using t-test. Data analysis resulting from 35 measures shows that 17 measures in this section (less than 0.05) H0 hypothesis is rejected and H1 hypothesis is accepted and with 95% confidence we can say that in general this index has a higher average than the theoretical average. And is in relatively good condition. Among these, the other 18 measures did not have a favorable evaluation and their significance level had negative effects on citizens' behavior.
