| In many pedestrianization projects, particularly in Iranian cities, a structural gap is persistently reproduced between the quality envisioned during the design process and the quality realized through users lived experiences. This article argues that such a gap cannot be adequately explained by technical deficiencies, implementation failures, or the absence of design indicators alone, but must be theorized at a deeper level, within the epistemological logic of professional judgment through which spatial quality is identified, prioritized, and legitimized. Adopting a qualitative exploratory–explanatory research design, the study examines how urban design experts judge “pedestrian street quality” and which implicit evaluative patterns structure these judgments. To this end, a three-round Qualitative Delphi method was conducted with fourteen architecture and urban design experts, intentionally designed not to achieve consensus but to elicit tacit, taken-for-granted assumptions underlying professional judgment. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis and directed content analysis to trace the stabilization of dominant judgment patterns across Delphi rounds. The findings reveal that prevailing professional judgment, shaped by academic training and dominant design discourses, is characterized by a “professional gaze” structured through visual hegemony, whereby spatial quality is largely reduced to physical-formal and visually oriented criteria. This evaluative logic stands in fundamental tension with users’ experience of space as embodied, multisensory, and temporally situated. Rather than offering empirical generalizations, this article advances a theoretically transferable interpretation of the quality gap, reframing it as a cognitive and epistemological tension embedded within professional judgment, with important implications for urban design evaluation and professional educationo. | ||
