Urbanization as the second revolution in human culture, has caused a change in human relations with each other and far with the rapid growth of urbanization and increasing problems in the field of housing, job creation and income, providing public health and physical and mental health, increasing environmental problems Biodiversity.The present study is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical in terms of nature. The data required for analysis were collected using a questionnaire and the Likert scale. The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed and its reliability was confirmed by Cronbach's alpha of 0.793. Dependent variables in the present study, which include walkability and livability, which is a set of economic, social, environmental and physical variables as an independent variable using EXCEL, ARCGIS, SPSS software and statistical tests with t- Pearson test and correlation were analyzed. Based on the results of T-test in the environmental dimension, the condition of all areas in livability is appropriate. In the pedestrian dimension, the most responses in the very high category belonged to the condition of cleaning the lane and maintaining the pedestrian space, which accounted for 14.6% of the responses. Based on the results of the T-test, the pedestrian in the three areas obtained an average higher than 3, which indicates the appropriate condition of the pedestrian in the eyes of the respondents. In general, based on the results of a single-sample t-test for areas, among the three areas of the study area, the best situation in the pedestrian dimension belongs to area 2 with an average difference of 5.93%. In the next ranks are Zones 3 and 1, respectively, and in the field of livability, based on the results obtained as presented in the map, it indicates that the livability situation in the whole Zone 2 is higher than average
