Abstract
This study, with the aim of identifying, weighting, and providing implementation strategies and policies for resilience indicators in post-pandemic urban street design, has selected Koohsangi Street in Mashhad as a case study. The main research questions are: “What are the most important resilience indicators in urban street design to deal with pandemic crises?” and “How can these indicators be applied through strategies and policies in the design of an urban street?” This study was conducted with a mixed approach (qualitative-quantitative); data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 34 street users and coded using inductive content analysis. Shannon weighting and binary matrix analysis were used to weight the indicators. The results showed that the environmental component with a weight of 0.239 and indicators such as "dissatisfaction with the closure of green spaces" (with a frequency of 18.37%) and "decreased public presence" (with a relative weight of 0.102 in the functional component) are among the main priorities. Binary matrix analysis also highlighted the functional component with a weight of 0.316, which indicates the impact of traffic restrictions and reduced urban interactions. Based on these findings, strategies such as the development of small-scale parks, flexible furniture layouts, and policies such as organizing commercial uses to meet livelihood needs have been proposed. This framework, by providing practical guidance for urban planners, can help design streets that are resilient to future crises and strengthen the sustainability of urban spaces.
