The growth of urbanization and urbanism in recent decades has reduced social interactions at the level of large and medium cities. Public spaces as vital centers of social interactions play a decisive role in this flow. On the other hand, the components of environmental quality play an essential role in improving the sociability of urban public spaces. In this regard, the present research has been conducted with the aim of explaining the most important components of environmental quality affecting the sociability of Islamic Republic Street in Mahabad. This research is applied in terms of purpose and based on descriptive-analytical method. The method of data collection was documentary-field in the form of questionnaires and interviews. The statistical population were specialists in the field of urban planning and architecture, 20 of whom were selected purposefully and non-randomly. The extraction and compilation of criteria, dimensions and indicators was done in the form of carrying out the steps of the Delphi panel, which was in the form of four physical dimensions, activity, comfort and security, and urban appearance. The method of data analysis was combined (quantitative-qualitative) in the form of cross-effects analysis method using Mic Mac software and scenario planning using Scenario Wizard software. The results showed that the most important factors influencing the sociability of the urban space of Jumohori Shahr Mahabad Street were the objective view, physical access, visual access, movement, specific activities and location. Also, in designing optimal scenarios, the results generally rely on regular forms, pedestrian access, variety of uses and social monitoring, proximity to the center of the city core, continuity of night activities, activities of medium levels and the existence of physical and mental urban signs.
