Analyzing the relationship between gender and space together makes the roles and needs of each man and woman clear, especially in urban spaces. This analysis helps to understand how the constructive roles of women lead to the production and reproduction of desirable social relations in urban spaces. The presence of women in public and urban spaces not only reflects but also narrates the desirable relationships of a society. This research has been done in order to better understand the needs of women in order to redefine urban spaces, in total, very few studies have been done in the world to understand gender differences in public spaces. The main goal of this research is to identify the dimensions and components that affect the formation of desirable urban spaces for women using the meta-analysis method.
The searches were done manually and based on the keywords "urban spaces, women" and for sub-keywords, the words "park, public space, single-gender spaces" are substituted with the first keyword, which is included in the process to improve the effectiveness of the topic to provide a more accurate output. Also, the words AND and OR are used for better search of keywords. The period of study is from 1395 to 1401 in Persian sources and between 2016 to 2022 in English sources. Scopus, Elsevier, Web of Science databases have been used to properly use the sources and access the basic information of the articles in the field of Latin sources and to take advantage of Persian sources, relevant keywords have been used in the databases of scientific documents of Iran (Irandoc), the database of national publications Magiran, ElmNet, Civilica, and Google Scholar. The data collection method according to the PRISMA protocol, which is the standard for meta-analysis studies, Also, Spss software has been used to perform meta-analysis tests, and its output has been produced as forest, bubble, funnel (diffusion bias), and heterogeneity detection charts. VOSviewer software has also been used to measure scientific databases for content production in the field of study.
The results show that the main dimensions of the research include physical and functional, structural and spatial, individual and personality, and cultural and social dimensions in the design of urban spaces. The position of researches in the field of urban space design suitable for women in the world research literature is important. So that the highest frequency of studies among English sources has been done in China and India due to the significant population of women, followed by Iran and Australia. Also, the most words related to the main research keywords for producing articles in recent years have been around security and gender. Finally, the researches of this article show that the meta-analysis method can be an effective help in identifying the design components of desirable urban spaces for women.

In urban spaces, the presence of different social groups always faces a constant flow of exclusion and inclusion. The dual stream which is a spatial competition finally results in the rejection or acceptance and the presence or absence of one of the parties. Today, despite multiple investigations under different names in relation to gender, urban spaces in our society has not been obtained for both men and women as expected. Therefore, this article investigates and analyzes the effectiveness of gender on the exclusion and inclusion of people of Shoosh Park. Then, reproduction of these codes and metaphorical borders of the landscape and urban space as well as their manifestation in the behavior of individuals in this space is studied. This article aims to answer the following question using qualitative analysis method and such techniques as participant observation and interviews with 21 people who are associated with the Shoosh Park: “What kind of spatial differences is caused by different genders in the Shoosh Park?” The results show that, in the Shoosh Park, component of gender is the most important component that causes the presence of different groups in space. In other words, some people are excluded from Park space because of their gender, while some others are included. Strengthening and preparing the context for active participation of women in local scale is the most important proposed policy that mostly considers historical roots and social status of women’s presence in the urban space. Accordingly, it looks for implementation strategies not only in spatial changes, bus also in socio-cultural and historical context of women’s presence in social spaces.

In recent decades, changes can be observed around the presence of women in urban public spaces. This paper investigates on the presence of women in these spaces in terms of selectivity or necessity. Method of research is survey and questionnaire is used to collect data. The statistical sample includes 128 male and 133 female residents of the city of Tabriz that are studied with random sampling. According to the research findings, freedom and independence of women for attending in public spaces is less than those of men. Family restrictions, female specific tasks and lack of performing suitable activities for women in public spaces such as park are the most important limiting factors for the presence of women in public spaces. The presence of women in this sphere has been intensively increased. With regard to the extensive presence of women in academic, educational and working centers, part of this increase is inevitable. Another reason is related to the reduction of men and households' resistance against women for their presence in public spheres. In other words, social attitudes (including both groups of women and men) have been transformed toward urban public spaces and participation of women in these spaces.
