Introduction: The growth of the furniture industry and the importance of facilitating barriers of development and its optimization shows the need to innovation in order to gain regional markets. In this way, knowing the main factors in the formation of consumer desire to replace or buy furniture can play a key role. Achieving these items is a guarantee for more product features to meet customer expectations and thus increase product efficiency which is manifested in the form of increasing the user's desire to use them. Method: In this applied research, we investigated the factors affecting the tendency to change or buying the furniture in today's lifestyle. The sample size was 402 persons who were randomly selected and were tested by questionnaire. The reliability of the questionnaire was calculated by Cronbach's alpha coefficient which was 0/819 and it showed high credibility. Results: The results of this study showed that although the factors such as functional quality, manufacturing and, production seem to be the most important factor in purchasing furniture and then the desire to replace it, the appearance and emotional characteristics of the product are more serious factors for user’s boredom. The ability to change (in appearance) and arranging are the factors that reduce diversity and allow consumerism to be controlled. Conclusion: Respondents seem to be consciously aware of the negative value of fashion influence on their choice. However, the factors that are important to them show the impact of fashion well.

Introduction and purpose of the research: urban appearance is the first representative of any city, which somehow represents the history, history and culture of that city. Among the components of the urban landscape, we can mention sidewalks, urban furniture, green spaces, etc. The main purpose of designing sidewalks is to create a sense of vitality and the flow of social life. Diversity and permeability are two important factors in creating a sense of vitality in sidewalks. Urban furniture is another main component of designing urban spaces that increases the role of quality and efficiency of spaces. One of the main goals of designing urban spaces is to improve the quality of life and create a calm and attractive environment for citizens. From the point of view of citizens, the presence of security in different levels of the city, which makes them feel calm, is also important. Providing this kind of security always has various components including social control. In this research, after examining the principles of sidewalk standardization, it has been tried to introduce and analyze the Taleghani sidewalk of Ilam province.Research method: This article is of a descriptive-analytical type and was conducted in the period of autumn and winter of 1401 with the participation of 237 citizens of the city who were selected by systematic random sampling.Findings: The important point of the implementation of this project is its location in the central core of the city, which causes the reduction or non-use of vehicles, as well as the lack of parking space in the central core of the city, which is not generally understood.Conclusion: The majority of citizens agree with the implementation of such plans, but the important point is the location of this place for the implementation of the work, which is somewhat ambiguous and ponderable from the point of view of the participants, such that 58% of those who agree and those who oppose the location of the implementation of the plan They are 42%. It can also be suggested that before the implementation of projects similar to the mentioned topic, detailed and engineered studies must be done in order to avoid many problems in the future.  Manuscript profile

Today , the national educational system allows the admission of non - local students , which helps form environments called student dormitories . The residents of these dormitories not only acquire new experiences and interact with others , but also expect the environment to provide their privacy like the house does. A large number of students who have to go to cities other than their home in order to study and educate , often choose the dormitory environment to settle . Because they have stayed there for a certain period of time and they have to leave after graduation . They are separated from their family environment by going to dormitory and faced new people and a culture different from their own in that environment . In fact , this accommodation which is compulsion and selection is desirable when a person can adapt with new environment; since new studies indicate that living environment and especially the changes which may happen in it can be called the determinants in the mental and emotional state of individuals . Because student housing is not only considered as a shelter for students , but also it should provide an environment for their academic , mental and personal development. One of the crises students in these environments face is their need for an appropriate environment conducive to life with furniture, especially a structural space . Because the study of human behavior relies on studying the environment of that behavior , this research deals with student preferences at the dormitories about , the furniture required in rooms , and their environmental conditions from an architectural and psychological perspective. This is because students need not only educational and research environments but also a desirable space to live to have a healthy life quality. Therefore, after providing research background and theoretical framework, as well as different definitions and studying the problems of students in dormitory environments and analyzing influential factors on users' satisfaction with room space , the results of two dimensions of environment and architecture and furniture required for students ( including the type of room and bedroom furniture , the type of study furniture and the use of closet, the color of furniture ) and environmental psychology area ( including the feeling mental quietness , crowding, personal solitude , feeling comfort , security , friendly atmosphere ; the feeling of being at home , want to remain the door open , tendency to do group work ) were analyzed and finally the intended research model was extracted. Thus , this study aims to determine interior-design architectural strategies at student dormitories in proportion to male students’ spatial behavior based on the furniture in these spaces. The population of the research consists of 123 resident students at two dormitories. A questionnaire containing two groups of items includes students’ preferences about the environment, architecture, and furniture. Results suggested that students , without regard for the costs , choose the type of dormitories based on the highest personal space , the least crowdedness , and the most appropriate conditions for study and rest. In the meantime , they choose the interior design the furniture which is economical, simple , natural multi -purpose , and durable , in addition to being light, applicable, and flexible .

The consideration of citizens' color preferences in urban spaces is one of the factors that can lead to satisfaction with urban space. Various factors such as age, culture, and gender have been investigated in studies on the color references of citizens, but the impact of climate change on the color preferences of individuals has less been investigated. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of thermal comfort parameters (temperature, humidity, wind speed, and thermal comfort) on the color preferences of individuals by choosing cards and urban couches based on warm and cold colors. For this purpose, after studying the literature and extracting the relevant variables and based on the field method, the climate parameters were measured using thermometer, humidity meter and wind tunnel, and the thermal comfort and color preferences were assessed using questionnaire. To measure the color preferences of people, two colored couches were made and colored cards were used in warm and cold colors. Using Pearson correlation method, it was found that in conditions of p<0.005 there is a significant relationship between temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, heat sensation and warm or cold colors preferences in the colored cards and couches. The thermal sensitivity variable with correlation coefficient r = 0.139 had the highest correlation with the warm and cold colors in urban couches and relative humidity with a correlation coefficient r =0.302. The highest correlation was obtained with warm and cold colors in the colored cards. The results of this study, along with other studies, can be a good guide to choosing colors in different climates.
