In this study, an attempt is made to identify the strengths and weaknesses of urban furniture in terms of design, construction, location, installation, and in terms of disasters, the effect of urban furniture in increasing the crisis after the earthquake is investigated and analyzed.
METHOD: In this research, the vulnerability of the mentioned components should be criticized and evaluated based on the current standards. The district 6 of Tehran city (Hafte Tir SQ. to the end of Keshavarz Blvd.), as a case study, was selected in order to study all standards of urban furniture and comparing them with the current status.
FINDINGS: Regarding to the studied standards in this research, some essential safety points are ignored in urban furniture such as including the installation location, connections, structure resistance, and accessibility.
CONCLUSION: There are no comprehensive and appropriate criteria and standards in the field of observing the safety of urban furniture in design Tehran, despite the development of some standards for the construction and installation of urban equipment in the Tehran Municipality's Beautification Organization.
