Women are mostly more vulnerable in urban spaces, especially neighborhoods, for reasons including their intense experience of fear in life and the consequences of being in danger in such situations, as well as the gender discrimination that exists against them in society. This is while the carefree presence of the female population in the neighborhood space requires security control over the neighborhood space.
The purpose of the research is to examine the neighborhood's situation in terms of factors affecting the level of women's safety.
This research is fundamental-applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical in terms of nature and method. The statistical population of the study included the residents of the Shishegar Khaneh neighborhood in Urmia city. Based on the Cochran relationship with a confidence level of 95% and an accuracy rate of 7%, the sample size was estimated to be 300 people.
