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.

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

8 ‘Evidence-based strategies/programs’ are understood to be strategies/programs that have been

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.
