Feeling of safety is one of the main factors of social comfort and women as part of society have significant role in developing societies and improving of human. Increasing safety using environmental design in ladies urban park in which only women are allowed can be considered an effective method. The current study was conducted to understand women safety feeling in Ladies Park and also to discover the main reasons of feeling unsafe in Sahand city in Tabriz. In addition, Islamic cultural beliefs and values were considered during this study. In this aspect, all together 125 people of park users were selected and interviewed asking questions regarding preferred physical activities, accessibility to park, perceived safety, reasons of feeling unsafe, and their recommendation to improve safety in ladies urban parks. The results of the study revealed that high-rise building around park and arid area around the park were the main issue of not feeling safe in park, meanwhile, darkness and attending men for maintenance of the park were placed in the second level of importance for unsafe perception. Also, majority of the participants declared that they like to exercise in mornings every day. It seems that development of park surrounding and providing sport facilities may enhance safety perception in ladies urban park.

The issue of hijab and cover in sports is a controversial problem in today's world, especially in the Olympic and World squares. The present article has examined the attitude of athletes towards hijab and chastity in women's sports, as well as the opportunity or limit of hijab and chastity in sport. In this survey, 300 female athletes from East Azarbaijan province were selected by random sampling method as sample of this research. A researcher-made questionnaire was used to assess their opinion about hijab and chastity and the related issues. The results of hypothesis testing and path analysis were demonstrated by AMOS23 software. Findings showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between attitudes toward hijab culture and chastity in women's sports with the opportunities and constraints of the hijab and chastity in sport. The result of this research shows that most people who participated in sports not only did not hijack the exercise, but considered it an opportunity to flourish. Also, the culture of education and education of the people is one of the most important suggestions made by economic and cultural actors, such as constituencies, universities and etc. to achieve the desired goal.
