Abstract

Children are considered as the creators of the next generations and urban spaces play a special role in socialization, realizing talents, and fulfilling social and individual needs. Therefore, safe urban environment and proper design of suitable urban spaces for children’s life are very important in moving the human society towards a healthy and desirable society. However, in Iran’s urban management and planning system, children’s needs have been ignored. This study aimed to present a safe urban environment management and planning model using a child-friendly city approach in Tehran metropolis. The statistical community of the research includes experts and specialists in Tehran's urban issues. Using Delphi sampling, 20 people were selected as sampling. DEMATEL technique and network analysis model (ANP) in Super decision software were used. The results showed that to present a suitable management and planning model in order to establish a safe urban environment with a child-friendly city approach in Tehran, social, political, and cultural criteria are the most influential and institutional and legal planning criteria are the facters that are influenced the most. Based on the special vector obtained from the network analysis model, the environmental-physical criterion with a normal weight of 0.205 has the highest priority and the security criterion with a normal weight of 0.199 is the next one. Moreover, institutional planning with a weight of 0.139 is the last priority.
