Walking was considered as the main form of movement of people inside residential areas because of its low cost or simple accessibility for all classes of people. This trend was forgotten following industrial revolution and domination of vehicles in cities. The metropolitan of Tabriz is not as exception from this rule and domination of driving spaces has limited presence of citizens in urban spaces where negligence of pedestrians’ demands is an important dilemma. The objective of the present study is to compare the walk ways of Tarbiat and Valiasr in terms of walking centeredness components. This study is conducted using descriptive analytic method and is an applied research where data and documental information were collected applying a survey method. Sampling in Tarbiat and Valiasr walk ways was performed using Cochran formula using random sampling in 2015. This study used elite and specialist ideas to determine the validity and also KMO test was used to test the reliability of the study which was higher than 0.50 in both Tarbiat and Valiasr walk ways. Finally, the obtained data were analyzed using factor analysis. The results of this study indicated that 5 factors of “services accessibility”, “security situation”, “facilities of walk way”, “environmental utility” and “attractiveness and aesthetics of walk way” are the most effective factors in defining walking centeredness in these walk ways. The results also indicated that service accessibility with 25.14% and security situation with 20.48% are at desirable level in Tarbiat walk way, and facilities of walkway with 25.26% and environmental utility with 21.40% are at desirable level in Valiasr walkway from the perspectives of the participants.
