Today, the widespread presence of vehicles, as well as the growing share of Passenger rides in the structure of cities, has created problems and caused sidewalks to be reserved only for places of passage. However sidewalks can play a complementary role in connection with other transportation networks and improve civic life in urban centers. In this study, the aim is to assess the desirability of urban sidewalks based on qualitative components in Naderi sidewalks in Ahvaz. The present research is theoretical-applied in nature and descriptive-analytical in terms of study method. Data collection has been Librarian and from the field. The statistical population of the study includes pedestrians and residents of Ahvaz commercial center. 320 pedestrians and residents were randomly selected as a sample size during one week. Data reliability was calculated by Cronbach's test to be 0.813. SPSS statistical tests were used to analyze the data. The results of the analysis show that the rare sidewalk in Ahvaz is far from the characteristics of a desirable sidewalk. Among the studied indices, the attractiveness and vitality index with an average of 2.96 and accessibility with 2.82 have a more suitable situation than other indices. It should be noted that safety, furniture and mixed uses on the sidewalk should be given serious attention. So that citizens can walk and have fun freely and with complete safety and comfort.
