Abstract :

Background and Objective: In the architecture of Islamic period of Iran, public buildings such as mosques-schools were places for people to interact with different tastes and thoughts, with their diverse functions and spaces and with in-between spaces that played a decisive role in organizing the diverse functions of these places and linking them more closely. They formed a whole, and made it possible for one to stay in that place. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the in-between spaces on promoting a sense of place in the Qajar mosque-schools and to explore how in-between spaces can be effective in promoting a sense of place?Method: Correlation analysis in Spss software was used to analyze the variables, and with library, field and survey studies to investigate the effective factors in promoting sense of place and in-between spaces.Findings: Results of this study indicate that the coefficient of significance between the variables of sense of place and in-between spaces is less than 0.05 and there is a significant relationship between these two variables.Discussion and Conclusion: The use of in-between spaces can be effective in creating sense of place in architectural space. Because today the concept of in-between spaces is very important in the design of architectural spaces, so that it can be used to reinforce the link between human and place in new public spaces, ultimately leading to better exploitation of the environment and the continued presence of people.
