It is certain that design with a religious approach and attention to socio-cultural sustainability, can play an important role in human well-being and lead them to a healthy and appropriate society. Therefore, in urban policy and design, it is very important to consider the purpose of the design, visual experience and behavioral patterns of users.

It is certain that with a religious approach, urban landscape architecture can play an important role in the well-being of human beings and lead them to a healthy and suitable society for human life. Of course, it should be noted that the issue of Iranian-Islamic identity, which has become an important and influential issue for trustees, experts and thinkers in various fields and can play a significant role in design, is therefore very important in urban policy and design. The purpose of the design, visual experience and behavioral patterns of users should be considered.Methodology: With this assumption and in order to recognize the relationship between criteria and sub-criteria affecting the quality of space, with humans, in the present article, the concept of quality and components and criteria affecting it and their relationship with humans, by examining and comparing the views of different thinkers The field of urban design and planning is covered. The most important questions of this research are; what are the qualitative components of socio-cultural sustainability in public spaces of cities? And what is the relationship between the qualitative components of socio-cultural sustainability and Iranian-Islamic architectural criteria? The research hypothesis can be expressed as "it seems that architectural design can increase the interest of people to attend these spaces by using the ability to respond to all segments of society." To achieve this goal, the research method of this article is a qualitative method. In the sense that more attention has been paid to its theoretical dimensions. Attempts have been made to express the research findings in such a way that they can be used in urban projects. This research is deductive and recognizes the constructive factors of sustainable urban and then compares them. Examples of cases that have been researched include walking in Eram Garden Street and Kholdebarin Park, as well as examining the categories considered in the design of the cultural center development and the qualitative components of socio-cultural sustainability and Iranian-Islamic architectural criteria.Results and discussion: The objectives of this article are to extract the effective components in urban policy and design in order to create appropriate spaces for gathering and community of all segments of the population, in addition to paying attention to quantitative values, in order to meet quality needs. The step was taken and also with the appropriate design, it provided the possibility of better spatial separation and creating a sense of stillness and dynamism at the same time. Due to the importance and necessity of this topic, this article has been done with the aim of extracting and explaining the most important factors affecting the quality of public spaces of parks, sidewalks and cultural spaces. - Iranian-Islamic culture and architecture has taken place. By comparing the criteria of Iranian-Islamic architecture with the indicators of social sustainability, it can be inferred that people enjoy an environment whose structure meets the requirements of current patterns of behavior and the physiological comfort they need, in other words, the physiological needs of personality, society and Cultural should respond Assuming that the environment meets the requirements of current patterns of behavior and needs well, that environment is qualitatively satisfactory if it has the following values:1- Sensory values that are the result of pleasurable senses such as olfactory sensation, taste, hearing and sight.2. Form values that are related to the enjoyable structure or patterns of the environment.3- Symbolic or associative values that originate from mental images created through sensory values.How to perceive the signs and semantic factors in creating and strengthening the sense of place is the main focus of this research, which can be considered a groundbreaking achievement to improve the quality of architectural space. Sense of place In addition to making people feel comfortable in an open environment, it supports the cultural concepts that people want, the social relations of the community in a particular place, and reminds people of past experiences by achieving identity. In order to prolong and increase the quality of life flow and better interaction between space and society, space should be given the ability to adapt to changes in lifestyle and human needs, or in other words, to consider criteria in the design that make space be flexible. According to the issues raised about socio-cultural sustainability and components of Islamic-Iranian architecture, we can say that there are commonalities and similarities between these two categories. For example, in Iranian-Islamic architecture, the components of democracy, multifunctionality of space, harmony with nature, geometry, unity and multiplicity, rhythm, calmness and centralism are closely related to components of socio-cultural sustainability such as well-being and vitality, interaction between environment and consumer. , Observed symbolism in the environment, a sense of physical and mental security and beauty.Conclusion: The results indicate that the design of urban public spaces with emphasis on socio-cultural sustainability and attention to the components of Iranian-Islamic architecture, to create a living and dynamic space and by influencing the mental thinking of individuals to create gatherings and collective memories for Achieves peace of mind and in addition to quantitative values, also takes steps to meet quality needs, and also with proper design, provides the possibility of better spatial separation and a sense of stillness and dynamism at the same time.

Although their attitudes towards publicness have been mainly influenced by civil society discourse, and despite existing theories about publicness in the civil society discourse, none of them has introduced constructive factors for the publicness of urban spaces. Also, there is no consensus on the criteria for evaluating the publicness of these spaces. Considering this theoretical gap, the first step of this research is through a systematic review of scholars' opinions and research experiences to identify the component factors of the publicness of spaces in the civil society discourse. In the next step, the Delphi technique is used to evaluate the usability of these factors in assessing the publicness of urban spaces. The results show that only four factors, namely, public access, adaptability, interaction and discussion, and immunity can be used to assess the publicness of urban spaces. Manuscript profile -

Among these factors, "culture" as a determining concept in human societies can significantly impact the presence and behavior of individuals in urban public spaces. The objective of this study is to identify the dimensions and degree of influence of cultural components on the vitality of urban public spaces. Cultural components include language, values, norms, beliefs, constant activities, material outputs, and more. This research was conducted using field and survey methods. Three prominent urban spaces within a specific area in Qazvin were selected and evaluated for their levels of vitality. Then, the cultural components were analyzed through a survey method, and their relationship with the vitality of urban spaces was examined. The findings of this study indicate that the three selected urban spaces vary from each other in terms of their vitality score. Through appropriate statistical analysis, it was concluded that there is a significant relationship between cultural components and the vitality of urban spaces. The most important component of material culture was found to be "social interaction," while the least important was "space design." Among immaterial factors, "religion and belief" were identified as the most important, whereas "linguistic" was the least important effective element. In conclusion, culture plays a crucial role in shaping the vitality of urban public spaces in Qazvin. The outcomes of this study suggest that urban planners and policymakers need to prioritize cultural components when designing and planning urban public spaces, which can help create more vibrant and attractive urban environments.
