The primary objective of this study is to conduct a phenomenological investigation into women’s lived experiences of consuming goods and cultural spaces in the city of Sanandaj. The study focuses on public consumption spaces where every day cultural consumption occurs. Among these spaces, café-libraries, art institutes, and cinemas have been purposefully selected. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, targeting women from three socioeconomic areas of the city: upper, middle, and lower neighborhoods. A total of 30 women participated in the study, and the collected data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings reveal that women’s perceptions and interpretations of cultural consumption vary depending on their neighborhood of residence and the types of spaces where they spend their leisure time. Furthermore, the analysis of the relationship between consumption and space identifies five distinct social types of female consumers: omnivorous consumers, casual and aimless consumers, leisure-seeking consumers, identity-seeking consumers, and selective and distinction-seeking consumers. Finally, the study highlights that urban consumption spaces in Sanandaj can be categorized into three types based on the facilities and opportunities they provide for women: dynamic and action-oriented spaces, restricted spaces, and unsafe spaces. These categories exhibit fundamental differences in their capacities for cultural consumption.
