Abstract :
Introduction: With the rapid growth of urbanization and the desire to live in cities, as well as the overcrowding of cities, spending leisure time and interacting with public open and green spaces has become more important, and since interaction with green spaces and the surrounding environment plays an important role in the livability of local communities. , this research intends to prioritize indicators in Emamieh and Ostad Yousefi neighborhoods of Mashhad with a comparative analysis of the impact of environmental components on livability.
Materials and Methods: The research method includes two documentary and survey parts, and the sample size of the questionnaire is 384 people calculated by Cochran's method and completed by random sampling method. The method of data analysis in both quantitative and qualitative ways, which was studied in the quantitative method of the structural equation method in SPSS and SMART-PLS software, and the qualitative analysis based on the completion and analysis of the control checklist filled by the trained observer and comparative density maps between the compared localities.
Results and Discussion: The results of this research indicate that there is no significant difference in the livability of the environmental components among the two studied samples, and in terms of prioritization, the ecological sustainability component has received the most points due to the presence of large-scale parks in and around the neighborhood (4.76 points) and after that components of health and cleanliness (3.32 points), weather pollution (3.02 points), climate comfort (2.77 points) and noise pollution (1.14 points) are the next priorities. dedicated. The innovation of the current research is that it focuses on the environmental dimension as one of the important dimensions of livability, and besides that, other dimensions of livability have also received the attention of researchers.
