Abstract

Background and Objective: Crime as a social exclusion, despite the density and social cohesion in the creation of social spaces, due to the presence of defenseless and abandoned spaces, has penetrated the perception of public spaces users. From this point of view, the category of creating a sense of security in environmental design with the CPTED approach in urban public spaces, especially the taboos of historical contexts, is worthy of attention. In the meantime, historical markets, which are one of the centers of interactions and confrontations of citizens, should be included in urban policies to improve and recreate safe spaces.
Research Methodology: In this regard, the current research, with a practical approach with a mixed method (qualitative-quantitative) to answer the main question, "What is the efficiency of the process (CPTED) in the sense of security of the users of the spaces of the eastern historical bazaar of Urmia?" I investigated the lands east of the historical bazaar of Urmia. Thus, by randomly distributing the questionnaire to the statistical population of 110 activists, the answer of 86 people is accepted according to Cochran's formula.
Findings and Conclusion: The analysis done in SPSS software of the parameters of the first-generation CPTED approaches shows the impact of the territorialism variable with a value of 0.625 in the highest degree and management and maintenance with a value of 0.194 in the lowest degree. Therefore, the results indicate that the approach to the theory of broken windows and the theory of space crime in improving the lands east of the historical market of Urmia will be of interest in creating safe and sociable spaces. In this way, it provides suggestions for future research.
