In recent years, the importance of soundscape design in urban spaces, with the aim of reducing noise pollution an‎d enhancing the auditory experience of users, has gained increasing attention. The present study, entitled “Soundscape Design of the Sidewalks along the Northern an‎d Eastern Fronts of Noufel Loshato Park in Tehran with an Approach to Noise Pollution Control for Enhancing Users’ Spatial Experience”, seeks to identify form-related factors influencing sound quality an‎d to propose design strategies for improving the current condition. The research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative data collection through soundwalks, field observations, an‎d questionnaires, with quantitative data obtained through sound level measurements in the study area. Data were analyzed on both qualitative an‎d quantitative levels, an‎d the integrated results were used to extract key components for soundscape-oriented design. The study area includes the sidewalks adjacent to Noufel Loshato Park, located at the intersection of Takavaran an‎d Rais Ali Delvari Streets, which—due to its central location an‎d heavy traffic—presents a high potential for soundscape analysis an‎d intervention. Findings of the study indicate that by employing appropriate form-related elements an‎d purposeful spatial organization, noise intensity can be significantly reduced while pleasant sounds are reinforced. Consequently, users’ spatial experience is enhanced, providing a more favorable setting for social interactions.
