Durability of human survival depends on social activities in life. It is the existence of people in the city that gives meaning to the city. It should have a lot of plural arena for human and social activities as a context for human existence. Therefore, the urban public spaces are the most common properties for inhabitants of a society. One of the public spaces which have plays an important role in the development of social- cultural activities is "walk able street". Pedestrian movements on walk able streets, which are designed on the basis of objective- subjective aspects of urbanism landscape, increase the perception of space, alongside promoting the place identity and dependency impression. By the third millennium, There has been a lot of emphasize and effort to improve the walkability in developing countries. Saba Avenue, in spite of having potentials, is a common case that had not achieved in provided a comfortable pedestrian sidewalk due to lack of consideration to cityscape. This paper tries to analyze and valuate the walk able Saba Street as a public space on the basis of cityscape and landscape studies as well as discussing the "mixed zoning" of the street on the basis of "historic zoning", "functional zoning" and "architectural style zoning" to give solutions to gradation identity and space quality of this walk able street. Social interaction is necessary in the survival of a pedestrian walkway as a public space. Saba Avenue’s sidewalk should be studied once more with emphasize on the cultural and historic background and its relationship to the past and present of Tehran to gain its identity. Hypothesis: Since a pedestrian walkway can define an identity for an environment as a public space, it can affect the quality of life in a great extent. The historical and cultural background of Saba Avenue generates identity for this avenue but strict attention to the structural aspects along the street has deteriorated the landscape role.
