This study examines worker satisfaction vis-à-vis outdoor places in terms of their environmental and socio-morphological aspects. Numerous studies have considered decent work as the eighth goal of sustainable development. However, it is worth investigating outdoor workers’ satisfaction with a view to the practical design of the surrounding context that supports their work in outdoor places. Using bibliometric analysis, this study investigates possible approaches toward providing decent work in a public place in Cairo as a case study, focusing on outdoor workers’ satisfaction. In the bibliometric analysis, this study used query settings in the Scimago database to search for manuscripts published in the previous five years. The result yielded 195 manuscripts that were filtered down to 50 manuscripts and then grouped using VOSviewr Software. Environmental noise and heat assessment analyses were performed using noise level measurements, remote sensing, and the Grasshopper platform. Further, we conducted an ethnographic study employing 77 participant observations. The results show that work hours and time affect worker satisfaction, as do environmental conditions, particularly noise and heat. However, unexpected findings from participant observation in this study do not accord with findings in other scholarly sources, where other observers find workers neither satisfied nor dissatisfied with the spatial morphology in the case study. Per this study, the alignment of worker satisfaction with convenient socio-morphological tangible elements of the workplace and with other environmental aspects should be attained in both specified replicable methods to engender decent work for outdoor workers.

Mobility and safety are the main characteristics of the city's urban strategies that regenerative cities adopt. This study is concerned with the mobility of pedestrians while crossing vehicle routes within urban developments. Several research groups recognise the negative-positive impact of ergonomic design in understanding human limitations and abilities; additionally, most researchers mentioned ergonomic design in the design of interior architecture elements, and a few have introduced it on an urban scale. So, research used ergonomic design to analyse pedestrian and vehicle movement. The research method adapted ergonomic design principles as a method to analyse human behaviour while crossing roads in an Egyptian context. After reviewing the relevant literature and Egyptian context, the authors discovered that studies show significant development occurred on Cairo's roads that threaten people's lives. The analysis tools used in research are questionnaires, surveys, and observations. The results concluded that both streets need more pedestrian-friendly designs and regulations.

A significant amount of research is concerned with the interrelation between society and urban space since communities are the actual users of the space. The typology of the space changes as social groups evolve. Public spaces are defined not only by their spatial structure, but also by their use and attraction, which contribute to their identity. Access to space through transportation and parking increases its vitality. Indeed, urban culture is another aspect that needs to be reflected in space, as there is variation in the social life of different cultures, so there is constantly a challenge to choose which element can foster social interaction in that specific space within that culture. This research focuses on the challenge that architects and urban designers face in fulfilling their role in facilitating human activities related to the social life of a community. Social life reveals the culture of the city as a consequence of the complex relationship between space and people. Several explanations exist for this phenomenon, including the fact that some spaces, despite their excellent design, fail to meet societal norms. Various elements promote social interaction in public space, but it's crucial to thoroughly examine each scenario with the participation of the public. The research aims to elucidate the concept of promoting social interaction in public spaces in relation to culture. In conclusion, public space is the mirror of city culture and city life since it is the medium that influences and completes society. Melkova clarified that William White defined public spaces as “places of sharing, of living, and of belonging citizenship.” Other scholars define it as the third place where you reduce the stress of life and work through gathering and entertainment activities. Public spaces serve as a platform for expressing and shaping the mindset of the community, making it a highly interconnected variable. Designers strive to strike a balance between all these factors.
