One of the factors in strengthening relationships between people is the creation of social interactions, and this is one of the most important and fundamental concerns of human beings throughout life. In the event of a pandemic, people are very afraid and anxious to meet each other in crowded environments, because the possibility of endangering their health is very high. The purpose of this study is to investigate the possibility of creating lost social interactions in pandemic conditions in Naghsh Jahan Square in Isfahan. The method of the present study was based on the nature, quality and purpose, application and development. In order to study how to revive spaces with social interactions and identify spatial criteria in order to achieve this goal, specialized space syntax software has been used. The results show that the space in front of the entrance of Caesarea has more navigation and it is better for people not to be present in this space when they are in Naghsh Jahan Square in a pandemic situation. Also, in terms of spatial communication, the open space of the square in front of Aali Qapo mansion has a high spatial connection. As a result, the amount of communication and contact of people in this section is high. In the event of an epidemic, the best place for Naghsh Jahan Square to create social interactions is the central zone of Naghsh Jahan Square, which according to the extracted data, when people are present in the square, their health is more secure.

In the current age, due to the machinization of affairs in the structure of societies, moving citizens away from each other and reducing the social interactions between them are confronted. The lack of attention to psychological needs, the reduction of social relations of citizens, the lack of recognition of behavioral centers, the reduction of sense of belonging and collective affiliation are from undesirable effects of machinization and reduction of social interactions in the todays city and neighborhoods. This is indicated that by understanding social relationships and analyzing them, it is possible to create high-quality collective spaces that can help to be vital neighbourhoods and to increase their sense of belonging. Meanwhile, there are passages that are interconnected due to diverse applications, especially spaces, along with attracting the population and creating space for social interactions. Sattarkhan Street has been selected from the first square to the second square of Sadeghieh with regard to the density of the various spaces on this path as a case study. The basis of this research was qualitative and has used descriptive-analytical method and about 200 questionnaire was completed randomly to achieve the results. The results were analyzed by SPSS software. The findings show that at present, the existence of commercial spaces with different zones in this trade path, in spite of all quantitative and qualitative deficiencies, continues to attract the population and increase the unconsciousness of social interactions as well as the emergence of dispersed social-collective nodes in the chosen path.

Open urban spaces are the most important places for social interactions among citizens. They represent the civil life of a city and act as a place where the majority of social events take place. In many contemporary Iranian cities, however, urban spaces are viewed as places for passage and do not usually encourage people to deliberate and establish social relationships. Increasing overemphasis on speed, technology, and time has affected scales and caused the needs of pedestrians to be neglected. As a result, the deterioration of the quality of urban streets has reduced social interactions. A big challenge in the area of urban design is to improve the quality of urban life and social interactions. The present study therefore seeks to investigate the influence of environmental quality on the improvement of social interactions. For this purpose, the literature on the components of environmental quality in streets was reviewed and five of the most important components were selected. The selected components were used to develop a questionnaire which was given to 350 randomly selected subjects. The results were then analyzed in SPSS by means of inferential and descriptive statistical techniques such as t-test, one-way ANOVA, step-by-step regression, and Pearson test. Findings indicate that dynamicity, access, and comfort are the most influential components and identity has the lowest influence on the environmental quality and the attendance of citizens in the urban space of Imam Khomeini Street in the city of Amol.
