ملخص المقالة :
Historical neighborhoods have special values inside them; and, in addition to inducing a sense of collective memories, they have to have some criteria in respect of achieving desirable environmental quality for citizens to live. From the perspective of urban planners and designers, a neighborhood as an urban space has to satisfy various needs of citizens in terms of activities as well as their spiritual requirements. In this research based on components of environmental quality in one of the neighborhoods with historical value resulting from a theoretical model presented (functional-structural, physical-spatial, and substantive), integrated analysis has been performed on the Khajeh Khezr neighborhood in Kerman. Then, after studying its weaknesses and strengths points of it based on the AIDA model, some mechanisms have been presented to promote environmental quality, based on neighborhood organization; and, related urban design projects have been defined, accordingly. In this research, the descriptive-analytical method and review of texts have been used in the form of library studies; and, case study has been applied as well as observation and questionnaire in the form of field studies. Analyzing the findings shows that inhabitants in Khajeh Khezr neighborhood are not very satisfied with the quality of the urban environment of the neighborhood. To improve the quality of the environment in Khajeh Kheza neighborhood, emphasis should be put on creating variety and balance in design, strengthening non-motorized traffic, and prioritizing organization and betterment of the neighborhood.
