Abstract: (18 Views)

. The quality of livability in urban areas and the explanation of the role of biological units in the promotion of social sustainability are highly influenced by functional qualities and their mutual role. Although the concept of livability has been discussed in different spatial and thematic dimensions, the investigation of its role as an influencing variable of spatial qualities and a mediating variable of social sustainability has received less attention. The present research was carried out in a descriptive-analytical and survey form using a researcher-made questionnaire in the community of residential context around the market of Ardabil city and with the aim of developing the biological quality and social life of the said neighborhood. The sample size of 384 people was obtained based on Cochran's formula. Data analysis was done with SPSS and Amos software using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results showed that by comparing the total effect of each index on livability, it was found that the accessibility factor has the greatest effect. In addition, it was proved that the indirect effect of social stability is greater between safety and physical order and livability. This means that greater satisfaction in social sustainability can increase the impact of climate safety and comfort on livability. The research solutions in developing the security and safety of urban tissues, controlling the permeability of the communication network and improving the environmental qualities through the development of pleasant spaces have been presented.
