Citizens' activities on social media reflect their movements, which lends itself to capturing human mobility and can take explanatory sequential research in this area a big step forward. This research investigates the triangular pattern that emerges from the 3 phase sides of the human mobility study area. The main problem is that the pattern of human mobility in the world's cities is not properly recognized. To answer the question “What is the pattern of human mobility in the city of Tehran based on the triangular model?”, human mobility is divided into 4 categories: Job, Education, Shopping, and Leisure, which are the most demanded in the city. Therefore, the sides of the triangular human mobility pattern are presented in 3 socio-spatial, socio-temporal, and temporal-spatial sections. With the identification of human mobility in the above 4 categories, from case to case and as a simple experiment that can be conducted in the cities around the world the above 4 categories were separated and identified as triangles of human mobility in urban space. In this analysis, it was found that the relationships between shopping, education, and leisure are close and interrelated, and the activities of job, education, and shopping are also interrelated. • Human mobility is one of the main elements of estimating the needs of the cities' citizens, and in the competition between cities, it is a component of superiority and prosperity. • How the pattern of human mobility is formed in the city of Tehran based on the triangular pattern?The relationships between shopping, education, and recreation are close and connected, and the activities of job, education, and shopping are also connected and connected. • During this analysis, it is clear that the relationships between shopping, education, and recreation are close and connected, and the activities of job, education, and shopping are also connected and connected.
