Abstract

While cities are contexts of social interaction and presence of people in various areas of social life, the presence of women as half of the population is faced with limitations. These restrictions have limited SATISFACTION of women in terms of need for safety, communication and social interaction, enjoyment of natural beauties and their selfactualization. For easy and safe presence in the urban spaces and increasing the livability for women in some countries like Iran, special areas for women are suggested. The main aim of these areas not only is separating women from men, but also is providing facilities for women to take advantages of all of the capacity of a city. However, some critics believe that WOMEN PARKS are a kind of discrimination. Inattention to women’s needs has led to their isolation, dissatisfaction and serious physical and mental health problems. To reduce these problems, municipals and city councils have focused on the women park. Although the implementation of these parks is criticized by professional and lay people with controversial comments for and against them, this article investigates whether the women park is a suitable approach for providing freedom and comfort for women or it enclaves women behind the walls and is a mean for limitation and gender segregation.This paper investigates the criteria which are interested by many researchers in Iran and abroad in the field of genders and parks that is the basis of the theoretical model proposed in this paper. Women’s use of public space in Western countries is tied to issues such as SECURITY. In countries like Iran that the relations between men and women is based on cultural properties such as privacy, veil, etc., predefined separated spaces and WOMEN PARKS in addition to SECURITY, will bring comfort, more freedom of action, removing veil and exercising. This criterion will be satisfied in two different social contexts.In this paper the SATISFACTION level of 45 women in four sample parks, in TABRIZ are compared and evaluated. Based on suggestions and perceived problems some criteria for designing future women park is extracted. The main research method employed is deep interview and the addressed group includes women using these parks selected randomly. The result of observations and interview show that women using the parks consider comfort ability for exercise and use, safety, closeness to nature and meeting familiar friends as positive aspects of these environments. Insufficient children and sport facilities and potential increase in some female crime activities however are reported as negative aspects. A revised model for evaluating the qualities of WOMEN PARKS in Iran is also proposed based on the reviewed models. Regards to the suggestions stated by the sample women we should focus on a number criteria such as health, sports infrastructures, and beauty of environment, green areas, benches and stores. In addition, the absence of men, being free and secure, closeness to nature and visiting friends are the positive aspects of these parks. We hope to pay attention to these criteria for future considerations in different cultures.
