Abstract :

The most practical development framework, named sustainability, is not completely accepted in Iran. Therefore, it is necessary to localize the paradigm to adapt to national conditions. In this paper, a new framework named "Zendevari" is derived from sustainable development theory through logical argumentation to be practical in the context of Iran. Thus, this study attempts to localize the framework for evaluating sustainable architecture and present an Iranian model and framework. The model is then tested using one of the most valid models for evaluating architectural sustainability as a quantitative model in the field of architecture. Finally, several successes and examples achieved through the framework are mentioned to confirm the testability and strength of the theory. In this study, a new method is employed to reformulate and form a native Iranian Islamic model, Zendevari, for application in the built environment. The steps and processes of achieving the reconstructions and quantitative patterns are described at the end of this study. Lastly, a mixed method and survey Delphi process, including the Friedman test, confirm Zendevari framework indicators in seven variables, positioning the localized theory in first place.
