Abstract

Pedestrian paths or trails are allocated to change the residential spaces into a safe and pleasant place for walking. These areas which are mostly considered as a basis and origin, play a central role in promoting social contacts, communication and interaction among citizens. Definitions and indicators in this study are used from the views of experts such as Jean Jacobs, Donald Aplyard, Coleman, Brian Goody and others. In addition to definitions and concepts discussed by theorists in the field, the experiences of different cities and countries in the Pedestrianization are also considered as part of the theoretical foundations of the study. This study aims to examine the Social and Economic Effects of 17 Shahrivar Pedestrian path in Tehran. It has a functional purpose and used a descriptive – analytical method. To collect the required information, documents, library and field studies have been used. In the present study, three types of questionnaires were designed for residents, pedestrians and workers of the 17 Shahrivar Pedestrian path which were analyzed after survey. The sample size of the resident, pedestrians, and working populations were 180790 and 1400000 people and 400 trading units, respectively. According to Cochran sample volume formula, respectively, 383, 384 and 196 questionnaires were computed and distributed using the cluster random sampling method. For final assessment of the reliability of the questionnaire in pre-test, Cronbach's alpha was used which was assessed as excellent for all three groups. Finally, for analysis of the questionnaire, Kolmogorov– Smirnov, single sample and multiple regression tests were used. The findings of the research show that the construction of the 17 Shahrivar pedestrian is closer to its social and tourism goals and most people who use this route are residents of the pedestrian area. The results show that for all three groups, Pedestrian path construction was negative in terms of social aspect, yet regarding the economic aspect, it had a positive effect. The significance level of the test for all components is less than zero, that is, the construction of the pedestrian on 17 Shahrivar has affected all the components of the social index. It is observed that the components of social interaction are at a high level because the average difference with the value of the test is greater and larger than zero, that is, the construction of the pedestrian route on 17 Shahrivar in Tehran has increased the social interactions of all three groups of residents, pedestrians and employed people. In this way, the firs t part of the firs t hypothesis are assured with 95% confidence. In relation to the second hypothesis, the results of t-test for the economic index in the three groups of residents, pedestrians and employees indicate that the significance level of the test in each of the three groups is less than 0. 05 and the difference between the mean and test value is zero. It means that the construction of the 17 Shahrivar roadway in terms of all three groups did not improve the economic index. Therefore, the second hypothesis is rejected with 95% confidence.
