Abstract: while different elements including social, economic and cultural elements play a vitalrole in the emergence of behavioral patterns in humans, one cannot ignore the influence of the physicaland spatial characteristics of built environment as a back ground for occurrence of anomic behavior oncommitting crimes. therefore, a series of approaches and theories such as “crime prevention throughenvironmental design (cpted)” were developed. the first objective of this research is to determinethe most insecure public spaces using parameters of the first generation of cpted approach. the otherobjective is to evaluate the role of each one of these parameters in providing the aspect of security. in orderto achieve these objectives, tehran’s dehkade farahzad was chosen due to existence of the evidencesindicating urban insecurities. this study is an applied type of research and the methodology used forachieving the goals was to benefit from anp model which specifies the level of insecurity of urban spacesby evaluating the parameters of the first generation of cpted approach. the methodology was performedusing documentary and field research methods and statistical population used included 5 urban experts.the analytical results of model indicate that tabbarok street is the most significant urban insecure spacein the mentioned site. in addition, the results demonstrate that territory and control parameters at a valuelevel, activity support, image/management and maintenance, access control and intensifying the target ofcrime are respectively significant in determining the site’s security level.
