The research focuses on key factors, including sociability, mental well-being, park management, and environmental safety, to identify the conditions that influence housewives&rsquo; presence in parks and their willingness to engage in physical activities. A quantitative survey was conducted in Tabriz, involving 210 housewives aged over 18 who were systematically selected from Shams Tabrizi and El Goli parks. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire consisting of demographic characteristics and measures related to park use and participation in physical activities. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS, with Cronbach&rsquo;s alpha applied to assess reliability and Spearman&rsquo;s correlation coefficient used to examine relationships among variables. The findings indicate that sociability (r=0.75) and mental well-being (r=0.807) are the strongest factors associated with housewives&rsquo; presence in urban parks. Additionally, park management quality (r=0.528) demonstrated a positive relationship with their engagement in physical activities. In housewives-specific parks, the characteristics of &ldquo;supportiveness&rdquo; (mean=4.23) and &ldquo;freedom of action&rdquo; (mean=4.15) were identified as important contributors to users&rsquo; perceptions of safety, autonomy, and motivation for active participation. The findings suggest that reducing socio-cultural constraints and creating supportive environments can enhance housewives&rsquo; park attendance, facilitate social interaction, increase self-confidence, and contribute to their overall health. Therefore, urban planners should prioritize gender-sensitive design strategies, strengthen social support systems, and improve the planning and management of recreational spaces to encourage both park presence and active lifestyles among housewives.</span></span></span></span><br> &nbsp; Urban green landscapes, women parks, physical activity, housewives, urban parks 0 0 http://ijaup.iust.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-11-2259-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Zanyar Samadi-Todar zanyar.samadi51@gmail.com 180031947532846008746 180031947532846008746 No University of Tabriz Ahmad Hami hami@tabrizu.ac.ir 180031947532846008747 180031947532846008747 Yes University of Tabriz
