Today, in urban studies, it is very necessary to investigate the position of women in the city. Because women are equal to men in daily work and activities in cities and are considered one of the users of urban spaces. Also, they have the right to use urban public spaces like men. But since the type of needs, the way of perceiving the environment and as a result the behavior patterns of women and men in public spaces have significant differences, therefore, ignoring the differences can limit the presence of women in public spaces. In today's modern world, with the occurrence of social, cultural and economic developments, the grounds for increasing the presence of women in the urban space have increased much; Accordingly, some needs of women have not been taken into account in urban designs and their presence in public urban spaces has faced difficulties. This issue is important in the city of Kerman, as one of the cities with a historical and religious background in the country, from this point of view, the city of Kerman has grown significantly in the last few years, and its planning in the near future, considering the previous growth, if without If the plan and principles of planning are correct, the city faces problems such as slums, ruined historical context, influx of immigrants, especially Afaghaneh immigrants, modern and heterogeneous context, etc. Based on this, this research has been done with the aim of analyzing the current problems of urban design in the streets of Kerman and presenting a contextual model in urban spaces with an emphasis on the streets of Kerman to obtain a suitable design framework for women. The statistical population of the research was 16 women aged 35 to 60 in Tehran using a targeted and accessible sampling method. The results of the research show that based on the documents and dimensions of urban policy, urban design has three arms of legislation, structuring and functionalism, and on this basis, three dimensions of planning and decision-making, design and implementation, and the dimension of exploitation have been obtained. The results showed that the components of participation, comprehensiveness and inclusiveness and compliance with safety and comfort dimensions, as well as standardization of appropriate programs for all classes can create a women-friendly city, and if there is no women's participation, the city will be one-dimensional and compatible with male functions.
