The study evaluates the spatial behaviors of women in urban public place
through ‘fear of crime’ and ‘public place functionality’ factors; by using
direct observations and questionnaire within the Grand Bazaar as a historical
urban public place in the center of Kerman, which is located in the Southwest
part of Iran. The study provides a particular perspective to the analysis and
understanding of how women make decisions and behave in a spatial setting
based on environmental psychology studies. This study applies combinational
research methods including qualitative and quantitative approach, including
analytical, descriptive, correlation, and logical reasoning methods. This study
also conducts direct observation in order to search the strengths and
weaknesses of Grand Bazaar as a public place. The results of the study reveal
that there is a significant correlation between fear of crime and women’s
environmental perception of Grand Bazaar. Furthermore, the research
findings indicate that the anxiety of being in less crowded parts of Bazaar is
more tangible among women than men. On the other hand, the results show
there is a significant correlation between time periods and women’s activities
in Grand Bazaar.
