Abstract
The urban landscape, as the most important part of the city's appearance, plays an essential role in improving the visual quality and consequently the satisfaction of the presence and benefit of different spaces for citizens.

The research method in the present study is mixed (quantitative-qualitative) with an applied purpose and analytical-exploratory nature, in order to analyze the information, was used the partial least squares model in Smart-pls software and database approach in MAXQDA software. T The findings of the research show that the greatest effect on the realization of a sustainable urban landscape with an emphasis on gardens and urban agriculture in Lakdizaj area of Tabriz is related to the components of providing facilities and land at a reasonable price, attracting the cooperation of universities and educational centers, preventing the exit of agricultural land from the production cycle and Benefiting from diverse and suitable trees and plants is in order to give order to the space. Also, emphasizing the social, economic, spatial structure, management and legal considerations in the development of agriculture and gardens by emphasizing the main indicators of the landscape (aesthetic, functional, sense of place and environment), will lead to the realization of a sustainable urban landscape in the region.

In addition, Tabriz is one of the few cities in Azerbaijan, which is famous for having many gardens. However, what remains of these famous gardens and Abad villages around and even within the old context of Tabriz city is an area called Lakdizaj with an area of approximately 650 hectares in the northwestern part of the city, which is almost bordered with the historical area of Hokm Abad village, and the city is also traditionally called the lands of Hokm Abad.

In this regard, first through documentary studies, the components influencing the realization of a sustainable urban landscape have been identified with an emphasis on gardens and urban agriculture, and then through questioning of the sample size and analysis of structural equation modeling in Amos software, the impact of each component has been investigated. Also, in examining the relationship between the development of urban agriculture and the realization of a sustainable urban landscape, has been used the database approach in MAXQDA software. It is worth noting that the statistical population of this study comprised academic experts and urban managers involved in the fields of urban agriculture and urban landscape management. Given that the exact size of the statistical population was unknown, a sample size of 100 participants was determined using Cohen’s formula at a 95% confidence level.
