Summer 2019 No.47 24 Research Abstract | Safety can be considered as one of the main social-human needs in today’s society. The safety of women is considered as one of the most important qualitative components of urban planning. Social safety of urban open spaces is considered as an important factor in the tourism industry. Since the mental image of a place plays an important role in its success or failure to attract tourists, it can affect the economy of a country in the long term. This study hypothesized that touristic sites could boom and attract more people by increasing the sense of safety in women. Responding women's demands from the space would increase the quality of place for everyone. The aim of this study is introducing the physical components of space, which increases women’s sense of safety in touristic open spaces. Data for this study was collected through a qualitative survey. Thus, after conducting the data analysis and reviewing previous related researches, research’s factors have been evaluated in a case study. presenting effective physical components on women's sense of safety and testing them in the open spaces of the 30Tir street, one of the touristic destinations of this city. The results of this study supports this hypothesis that the third part of the 30tir st (between Sakhai and Imam Khomeini) which responds the demand of women is the successful part of the street and creates the sense of safety among women the most.

Some examples of such facilities are the livelihood and welfare facilities as well as economic activities, commercial, industrial, cultural, political, health, communicational, entertain- ing, and historical attractions, as well as tourism. A part of a city with such features is considered touristic part of the city (Movahed & Dowlatshah, 2011). These tourism spaces are categorized into two groups: (1) modern or new spaces including parks, modern shopping centers, cultural centers, squares, and beaches; (2) traditional spaces including shrines (or Imam Zadeh), cemeteries, gardens, mosques and other historical sites (Anvari Aria & Nassaj, 2007). Recently, urban tourism has become one of the influential factors affecting the widespread spatial changes in the city (Cazes & François, 2003: 5). Urban planners also believe that these spaces are impor- tant urban, human, and natural parts that each can af- fect the sense of safety based on their systematic location features, design, access, lighting, demographic structure and other factors (Gobster, 2002). Temporariness of tourism spaces thus inclination of population towards the closed hours, reduce the safety of these spaces and increase the unsafety and crime.
