Today the problem of urban traffic, especially in urban centers, has become an important issue in urban planning. Over the past decades , the overreliance of modern urban planners on motorists` needs and neglecting organizing spaces followed by the decline of cultural, social ,visual and historical values spaces, followed by walking , in these centers have been criticized by many scholars. In this regard, strategies to improve the situation and willing to favorable conditions in the world have been proposed among which (walking movement development) can be noted. Historical square of Hamadan, as one of the country’s oldest urban centers, has suffered in recent years, traffic problems and the decline in its position as a platform for social interaction. In this paper we investigate the benefits of the pedestrian`s movement in the area of the central ring in Hamadan to review the capability of six main streets into walking path and criteria and related indicators of the walking-orientation approach , by the method of hierarchical analysis (AHP) potential . Finally, using the results obtained from pedestrian`s movement potentiality in the area of central ring , we examined the capability of transforming six main streets into walking paths to which Bu-Ali Sina street was introduced as the first priority in this issue.
