Rationale
What make the Coastal Boulevard (promenade) of Anzali[1] Port interesting to work as case study are its history, high use status by public and convenient accessibility from downtown for visitors of this coastal town to relax and enjoy the landscape. Unfortunately, despite all these significant positive aspects, lack of proper psychological security from the various points of views is highly perceived for this recreational built landscape!

A.2 Summary of you landscape system analysis and your development Targets
- You can summarize your findings with an DPSI(R) Model or a Spider Diagram
- Link back to the Sustainable Development Goals: Which goals are at risk?
- What is your hypothesis for this landscape?
- Visualise your hypothesis with one graphic/pict
- Are there any existing initiatives taking action in this landscape? Do you have a critical perspective on that?
- Add text and visuals

A.3 Theory reflection
National policy:
The Comprehensive integrated coastal zone management plan in Iran specifics the following priority goals according to the ICZM (Integrated Coastal Zone Management):
•Over-exploitation of resources Natural including aquatic animals, forests
•Environmental pollution resulting from Human activities, tourism and so on Change water level •Erosion and damage to lines Coastal and its infrastructure
•No proper definition of private and public ownership of the coastal strip
•Lack of public access to the coastal strip
•Unbalanced construction in the coastal strip
International policy: (International Guidelines on Urban and Regional Planning)
According to the Urban and Territorial Planning and Social Development regarding to our coastal region the following regulations in Local authorities have relation to our issue and it should be considered.
Local authorities:
•Promote social and spatial integration and inclusion, particularly through improved access to all parts of the city and territory, as every inhabitant (including migrant workers and displaced people) should have the ability to enjoy the city, its socioeconomic opportunities, urban services and public spaces, and to contribute to its social and cultural life •Provide good quality public spaces, improve and revitalize existing public spaces, such as squares, streets, green areas and sports complexes, and make them safer, in line with the needs and perspectives of women, men, girls and boys, and fully accessible to all. It should be taken into account that those places constitute an indispensable platform for vibrant and inclusive city life and are a basis for infrastructure development •Improve urban safety, particularly for women, youth, the elderly, the disabled and any vulnerable groups, as a factor of security, justice and social cohesion; •Promote and ensure gender equality in the design, production and use of urban spaces and services by identifying the specific needs of women and men, girls and boys
