Introduction
City dwelling has caused a lot of social, financial, and other sorts of problems for developing countries recently. Therefore, paying attention to the concept of citizens’ safety and planning approaches in order to provide the mentioned safety has turned out to be one of the major priorities of city authorities. As urban spaces have the most communication with people and their living areas, they can play a significant role in citizens’ identification and calmness. So that it is necessary to predict solutions in the planning of urban spaces which provide the safety of citizens in urban districts. The purpose of this study is to design suitable and future-oriented programs for the transformation of the historical fabric into a secure space in order to be more successful in attracting tourists. However, due to the problems of urban communities and the importance of tourism, the attention to the concept of security in urban environments is a priority for both urban residents and tourists as well as planning methods for security purposes. Therefore, we can say that the garden-city of Meybod is one of the richest cities in the country considering archaism. The city of Meybod, thanks to its historical and cultural works and even immigration from other parts of the country plays a significant role in tourism and from the viewpoint of having historical monuments, and tourist attractions are of great importance, too. Restoration and alteration of these monuments during the last years, life and existence and even the extent of this texture have turned it out to one of the unique historical sites not only in Iran but also in whole the world. This texture has been frazzled lately due to the existence of most historical monuments and tourist attractions in this texture of the city and thanks to its cultural and tourism potentials and unfortunately because of the lack of facilities and equipment, inappropriate access and the lack of safety feeling. Therefore the related organizations have been obliged to restore and ameliorate the texture which can cause the return of life to this texture.
