Abstract :

The squares of every city, both in the real world and in the virtual world, are the beating heart of that city, where a series of social, economic, religious, political, etc. activities take place, affecting the type and manner of human perception of it. The city is known. This article has been written with the aim of explaining the effective components in improving the quality of urban spaces and obtaining the main components in two examples of urban spaces that have preserved their life for years and finally measuring them in the parallel world of Dicentraland in order to know the urban squares in this world. The present research is looking for an answer to the "components of improving the quality of life in open urban spaces" and "the method of classifying fields in a parallel world" by using documentary and library studies, as well as the case study method by extracting the components that affect the quality of the urban space, concepts, the main categories extracted through a wide range of field studies and questionnaires. It was measured and the results were analyzed by SPSS, Friedman test, and AHP method so that finally the urban squares in the parallel world are classified in terms of quality. The results of the research indicate that the main square of the world of Decentraland (Gensis Square) is a suitable representation of a structuring field, which has been designed in a very favorable way based on the components of the real world.
