AB - The use of public spaces is an important part of everyday life, and public spaces serve as places of meeting for people. Therefore, the present study aims to explore and identify the influential factors in the choice of public space by citizens in the two walkways of Bu-Ali Sina and Ekbatan in Hamadan, in an attempt to present a new attitude to achieving a successful and publicly chosen public space. The type of research is applied and its method is descriptive-analytic. Sample size for both spaces (Bu-ali Sina and Ekbatan in the city of Hamedan) due to the population variability of both axes using the formula (sample size of unknown society) is equal to (260 and 310), respectively. The data were analyzed using SPSS software. The results of this research show that the attention to the non-physical components is of high importance to other components, and perhaps the success of a public space is most important in these components. In this study, a chart and a model were presented, which may slightly help to promote the public and public spaces in attracting citizens to this space.
