Abstract
Nowadays, urban furniture is considered an essential and integral component of cities, playing a significant role in enhancing the quality of the urban environment and citizen satisfaction. This study was conducted to assess the level of citizen satisfaction with the quality of urban furniture and to provide models for future planning in the Imam Ali Tourist Village in Bushehr. The present research is applied in purpose and descriptive-analytical in terms of data collection, employing a survey method. The statistical population consisted of citizens and visitors to the Imam Ali Tourist Village, from which a sample of 244 individuals was selected using random sampling. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire that measured the research indicators across four dimensions: Physical, Visual Qualities, Identity, and Environment. The data were analyzed using SPSS software (version 19) and statistical tests, including the One-Sample T-Test and mean comparison. The findings revealed that the overall average satisfaction with urban furniture was 2/7 (below the desired level). Among the four dimensions, the Physical indicator, with an average of 2/90, was in a better state, while the Environment indicator, with an average of 2/38, had the lowest satisfaction level. The results of the One-Sample T-Test also confirmed the more significant and substantial impact of the Physical indicator on citizen satisfaction compared to the other indicators. Consequently, planning to improve the quality of urban furniture in this area should focus on enhancing environmental indicators, followed by strengthening identity and visual qualities.
