Application of Jane Jacobs’ Theory in the Analysis of the Borders of Territory Monitoring in Urban Spaces from Citizens’ Points of View in Bandar Abbas by Amirhamzeh Shahbazi, Esmaeil zakerimnabi, Alireza Shahbazi

“…In conclusion, the findings underscored the complexity of urban monitoring behaviors, highlighting how they were shaped by various social, economic, and cultural factors, rather than by spatial design alone.The summary indicated that, contrary to Jane Jacobs' theory, the desire to monitor urban spaces could not be solely attributed to physical and spatial structures or urban design. Instead, factors, such as citizens' occupations, literacy and education levels, age, place of birth, and residence history, along with the economic and social status of their neighborhoods, played a crucial role in shaping their attitudes toward urban monitoring. …”
