Describe the Safe Community work so far – (suggested maximum 3 pages) (To
the web version):
What are the political visions on safety?
Safe community steering committee was established in 2017 by coordination of Aras Free
Zone and they have emphasized the safety promotion importance and necessity in the
area. Jolfa safe community vision was introduced as:
“A safe and healthy community for improving quality of life”
Why is the community interested in being a member of the International Safe
Community network?
Community safety is one of the priority policies in Aras Free Zone and Jolfa city and all
the sectors are responsible to regard safety in their policies. This issue encourage the city
managers to be a member of International Safe Community member to have relations
with other safe communities in the world and benchmark the good examples from other
communities. Being a member of International Safe Community Network, creates value
for us as a free zone. Moreover, we will encourage other free zones in Iran to implement
the safe community initiatives and be a member of safe community network.
Are there any unique injury prevention effort/s in the community? If so describe
them briefly. (See specifications about Good Examples!)
1) Mother and child welfare center: The center basically was established to promote
mothers and child life skills promotion including health, safety, mental health and etc.
The center provides a place for mothers and children to learn, practice and play with
each other and also promote their social skills which could improve the childhood
quality. Moreover, training sessions are hold for mothers and child on safety issued
such as home safety, fire safety, electricity safety, personal health and etc.

2) Social Emergency Services: This service is an emergency services in the case of social
issues such as suicide, violence against women and child, family problems, child and
elderly abuse, preventing divorces and etc, which are free of charge and is available in
three ways as mobile social emergency car, telephone consultant and in facility
programs. It has a hotline phone number as 123. Furthermore, temporary residency
room is provided in case of need for whom who was victim of a violence (Women, child
or elderly).
3- Urban & Traffic safety monitoring system: To do evidence based interventions on the urban
and traffic safety, we have assessed whole the city considering the safety issues. The method
was first, filming whole the city streets and routes, the second, the film was analysed several
times for each issue. For example for identifying pedestrian infrastructures defects, the film
was analysed for 5 times. The third, all the identified safety issues were tagged on the city map
using Geocoding. The map was implemented using GIS layers. The process lead to identifying

more than 800 safety points. The identified points were prioritized and action plans were
developed by the urban and traffic safety committees. The municipality use the GIS map for
monitoring the safety point's correction.
GIS map for Pedestrian infrastructures identified defects in Jolfa
4- Payamiran system development (safety reporting application): A mobile-based application
was developed to be used by the public for reporting un-safe situations in their neighbourhood.
The application could be used by Android or iOS systems. Also, a website (www.payamiran.ir)
is developed to share the reported cases and reporting new ones. The reported cases are
managed by safe community secretary and the cases are presented in the related committees.

b) Establishing Fire safety area in big shopping centres; each shopping
centre have to provide a safe area called fire safety area used in the fire

programs/projects and explain how the community is involved!
Indicator 4 (suggested maximum 3-4 pages) (Summary to the web version) “Programs that are based on the available evidence”8.
Of all the programs/projects listed in Indicator 2 and Indicator 3, please specify if they
are ‘evidence-based’? Those identified as ‘evidence-based’ please describe the source(s)
of the evidence. Have any contacts been established with Safe Community Support
Centre, scientific institutions or other organizations about the development and/or
implementation of evidence-based strategies? If yes: Which ones? What has been the
extent of their guidance?
We were in close relation with Iranian International Safe Community Support Centre in Tabriz
University of Medical Sciences. Moreover, we have used recommendations Road Traffic Injury
Research Centre. To review the available evidences on safety, we firstly determined safety
indicators. Then we discussed them and selected a list of indicators to be measured and
reported by the related organizations. After extracting the data, they were presented and
discussed in related committees’ sessions and interventions to affect the indicators trend were

planned by the committee.
Urban and Traffic safety promotion based on evidences:
To do evidence based interventions on the urban and traffic safety issues, we have assessed the
whole city considering the safety issues. The method was first, filming whole the city streets and
routes, the second, the film was analysed several times for each issue. For example for
identifying pedestrian infrastructures defects, the film was analysed for 5 times. The third, all
the identified safety issues were tagged on the city map using Geocoding. The map was
implemented using GIS layers. The process lead to identifying more than 800 safety points. The
identified points were prioritized and action plans were developed by the urban and traffic
safety committees. The municipality use the GIS maps for monitoring the safety point's
correction.
