Urban furniture is considered as a fundamental component of urban space, whose quantity, quality, aesthetic appeal, comfort, durability, and placement play a crucial role in achieving a beautiful and healthy city. Beautification is one of the significant factors of urban furniture. One factor that has received less attention is the issue of color and identity within urban spaces. Its appropriate design and context-sensitive application in parts of the city known as urban spaces (such as parks, squares, pedestrian walkways, commercial centers, etc.) significantly impact the quality of urban life. The provision of urban furniture by various managers and planners, alongside population growth and the physical expansion of cities, aims to ensure the tranquility and comfort of citizens. Beyond meeting physical needs, it can also address the psychological, spiritual, and cultural needs of its inhabitants. The objective of this research is to investigate and evaluate the factors influencing the design and planning of urban furniture in Zabol. This study is based on a combination of descriptive-analytical methods, relying on library, documentary, and field studies. The statistical population of this research is the city of Zabol. Data analysis was performed using SPSS, the T-test, the ARAS (Additive Ratio Assessment) decision-making model, and ARC GIS software. The results from the ARAS model indicate that District 2, with a coefficient of (1.000), received the highest rank, while District 4, with a coefficient of (0.828), received the lowest rank. Furthermore, the one-sample T-test revealed that the overall state of urban furniture in Zabol is not at a desirable level. Although the theoretical factors influencing the design of urban furniture in Zabol have been identified, the current performance is not evaluated as satisfactory due to reasons such as improper implementation, neglect of climatic and visual considerations, and the inequitable distribution of facilities. This study highlights the necessity for a fundamental revision of the urban furniture planning and design process in Zabol, emphasizing an integrated, climate-responsive, and equitable approach.
