Urban kiosks are counted as urban furniture according to their appearances, so some considerations related to urban rules such as properness with its environment, safety, preventing kiosks from vandalism and other factors are becoming important in designing them. On the other hand, kiosks are counted as an independent work station in which a person works in it full time. As a result, some factors like ergonomic design, safety, the quality of performance and other needs of the seller must be considered in this small space.
