Abstract

Today, manly and masculine urbanism and unfavourable urban environments have made women have less access to public urban spaces which consequently leads to a sort of injustice in society regarding this issue. This research sheds light on the function of Mother Garden in Azadegan Park situated in district 15 of Tehran. The results of this urban-applied research, devised by evaluation and correlation, reveal that accessibility, freedom of presence, and security from women perspective are of the most important indices of achievement of gender-based justice and fairness. There is also ameaningful relationship between these indices and the function of this garden in achieving gender-based justice. Therefore,construction and development of women gardens can set the ground for the creation of an appropriate context for women leisure activities. Simultaneously, fresh and active environments can pave the way for the optional presence of women in urban spaces along with their social interactions.Consequently, increasingwomen share of urban spaces is a practical solution for the problem of gender-based justice in the Islamic countries
