Abstract

Female spaces are important topics in urban studies. The performance of some of these spaces (such as jewelry stores) is such that they attract women's population in a meaningful way without the requirement of limiting the presence of men. Therefore, the present study intends to evaluate the pattern of gold shops in the urban spaces, while choosing two regions with different income status from Mashhad and show the visible differences in the distribution of such spaces (according to the income level of each region). and what unwritten rules does this model follow? The descriptive-analytical study method and the statistical population also includes all gold shops located in areas 1 and 5 of Mashhad (including 630 gold shops). In the first step, after creating a location database in ArcGis, the location of gold shops was determined based on the information available in Mashhad Municipal Union Bank. In the continuation of using 7 variables (from the locational characteristics of gold shops and the elements of the spatial structure of each region), including the absolute location, size, time of establishment of each gold shop, proximity to surrounding uses, roads and communication arteries, the population and the population of women, the spatial differences regarding the establishment of gold shops were investigated. . The investigated models include "density model", "center of gravity", "standard distance", "nearest neighbor", "spatial autocorrelation" and "spatio-temporal model". The results show that in developed areas, women's spaces are less consistent with the distribution of women's population, while in low-income areas, women's spaces are more compatible with local elements such as proximity to bus stations, local arteries, and residential spaces. . At the same time, the common point in this regularity is the prosperity of these spaces over time. which seems to lead urban spaces to become more feminine in the future.
