Abstract :

The design of tourist walkways and developments of strategies for more prolonged presence of people at ancientcontextures are considered as vivid multiple procedures in protecting of contexture, tour guiding and urbansustainability. Shading in open spaces and pathways, especially in tourist areas, is one of the most important factorsin providing the thermal comfort perception. So in innovation of architectural shading samples, some strategies andvariable sunshades are needed by consideration of climate changes in any specified area and the changes of the sunposition in the sky during days and different times of the year, alternately. This study analyzes the proportion of thethermal comfort in one of the tourist paths of the Zandieh complex located in Shiraz. This path lacks the appropriatefunction based on the researches by the thermal comfort means, so identifying a path and an appropriate place pauseconcerning climate conditions, environment, bed and contexture of specified area, presents you a suitable and effectivepattern of a sunshade for the mentioned path, towards urban sustainability. This research is carried out by practical andscientific method of descriptive and bottom-up type. New hypothesis are generated from collected data. Data collectionis based on library and metrical method.
