| Summary: | The criterion of human activity could be one of the critical points in dealing with street life mainly and urban vitality frequently. An attempt to classify the distinct patterns of activities is recently required. The potentiality of a street is to formulate people’s interaction and responses to the street edges and reactions to each other. This chapter highlights the more significant outline regarding human activities and their patterns, besides their classifications. In this regard, the chapter aims to create a conceptual framework to form a platform for analyzing and studying the effectiveness of street life at the micro level. In this chapter, a research type is a descriptive-analytical approach; regarding the method, it employs a broad spectrum of related literature reviews. Consequently, the street edge generates the three main (and their oppositional) human activities. These activities can be categorized as necessary versus optional, individual against social, and staying as opposed to moving. Increasing the calls toward the sustainability of urban livability and street life versus decreasing the motor-based street has become a more significant demand. The street is a vital milieu that offers different opportunities for those who present and use such urban space as the street. |
