Vandalism is one of the problems of cities today in urban public spaces. Vandalism tendencies are shaped by intrinsic and personality factors. And how the location of the location affects the likelihood of vandalism. Among the landmarks, land use is one of the factors affecting the occurrence of degradation. The role of land use index has been examined under the criterion of land use compatibility, land use desirability, land use capacity, land use dependency and activity intensity in public urban spaces. The research is a qualification- analytic one that examines the proportion of variables by correlation method. The variables are selected based on library studies and prior research. Data were collected through field observations and in-person observations and questionnaires. Case studies are two municipalities of Hamadan. The questionnaires were distributed among 387 residents and clients of the two municipalities of Hamadan, and field observations and face - to - face surveys collected from 283 codes in the urban public spaces of the study sample were statistically analyzed. The results indicate that sub-criterion of land use compatibility has the highest average rank and effectiveness, and after that index of activity intensity, land use desirability, land use dependency, and land use capacity respectively are important. It is expected that more attention will be paid to these factors in urban planning and design to control and mitigate destructive tendencies and the likelihood of this occurrence in urban public spaces.
