In this study, due to the low level of social interactions in urban public spaces and the decline of urban welfare as the main research issue, we sought to identify a solution to improve urban welfare by identifying the effective factors on urban democracy and promoting social action. In summary, in this study, in addition to clarifying the concept of urban welfare in public spaces, it has been attempted to introduce qualitative environmental factors affecting urban welfare with indicators of viability and vitality, as well as conceptual contexts of existing approaches. In the first part, by examining the views of experts and experts through interviews, the common concepts were more widely recognized by presenting the best indicators of measuring the utility of public spaces in the study area. In the second part, we analyze the extent of social interactions with the technique of counting and photographing, and we survey citizens to measure some of the components of urban democracy, viability and vitality, and to test hypotheses. Based on the findings of this study, the quality of public spaces studied is very low in terms of livability and vitality indices, and the low quality of these components reduces the components of urban democracy and social action as key indicators of urban well-being.
