The data of this applied, descriptive-analytical study were collected through documentary and field studies. Data collection tools include observation, questionnaires, interviews, and receipts. The sample includes the users of Imam Street and the numerical value of 170 was obtained according to Cochran's formula for the unknown statistical population. The sampling method was random. The analysis of collected data was done in two ways: quantitative statistical methods (descriptive and inferential) and qualitative (results of statistical studies) methods. The variables of this research include the independent physical, social, and ecological variables and the behavioral patterns as dependent variable. According to the results of the Friedman test and evaluations of the components of urban landscape and image in this area, the social component with an average of 4.77 are the highest and the component of behavioral patterns with an average of 3.96 are the last. According to the results of the Pearson correlation test, there is a significant correlation between urban landscape components and citizens' behavioral patterns. According to the results of stepwise multiple regression analysis, the correlation coefficients are 0.61, 0.63, and 0.59, respectively. In other words, by entering the physical, social, and ecological components simultaneously, 0.40 of the next variance of the behavioral pattern is explained.
