        Due to the innate tendency of human beings to interact with nature and the significant effects of communication with nature in the human soul and body, human beings have always sought to create a logical and appropriate relationship between indoor space and outdoor nature. The quality of natural environments not only is not limited to the health and well-being of individuals, but it also provides their spiritual and psychological needs, paves the way for development and progress, identity formation, and extraction of various environmental experiences such as fun, vitality, and mind retrieval. Healing is a term that repeatedly seeks to enhance human comfort in the natural landscape. It is a quality that encompasses both body and mind, and generally refers to the spatial nature that cares about human health and improves it directly affects the human psyche. There are two common types of green space with healing properties: sensory gardens, which offer passive health benefits, and therapeutic (physical) gardens provide active relief. Along with the formation of human societies, the phenomenon of participation has emerged in order to strengthen social relations regarding the diversity of attitudes and schools. The definition of social sustainability refers to four key elements: social justice (meaning equal opportunities and human rights for all people, both now and for future generations), social solidarity (meaning empathy), participation (meaning providing opportunities for each individual in society so that each person can improve their quality of life) and security (meaning providing security in livelihood and Against natural hazards). Nowadays, stress is the cause of mental disorders in society. Due to the fact that a large number of people face a lack of medical centers appropriate to their moods, their needs, and using concepts related to social sustainability, the design of medical spaces can be solved by involving the audience according to their wishes. In the present study, by using qualitative strategy and using library studies, and applying the description-analysis method and effective components of the healing garden in improving patients. To determine the participation approach, the relationship of each component with the type of patient participation was identified through study and conclusion, which identified four types of participation approaches. First, in the planning stage, by selecting operating groups with an interpretive approach based on evidence-based design, the wishes and needs of patients are identified. Then, in cases of components that need to get enough information from patients, information is obtained through various tools such as questionnaires, interviews, etc. In the design stage, by reviewing the initial solutions and ideas obtained from the planning stage, using the regionalism approach to the indigenous cultural and historical features of the region, along with the universal design, which refers to the free and flexible design, to all tastes. The right answer will be given and the final product will be obtained with collective ideas. In all these approaches, the type of patient participation due to their specificity and personal limitations of individuals is indirectly discussed in the plan. Manuscript profile

        Introduction: Structurally speaking, beyond the productive and decorative functions of plants as the main elements of the garden, they have the significant role in shaping the relationship of viewer and the interior landscape of the garden. Material and Methods: This article under the comparative surveys will discuss the relationship of spectator and the interior sceneries of the historical gardens and the effect of plant order on the quality of visual system. The case gardens studies are: Akbariye, Amir Abad, Bahlgerd, Rahim Abad, Shahzadeh, Pahlavanpour, Dolat Abad, and Fin. Those gardens have been studied and compared based on the connection between onlooker and green appearance from the severally potential viewpoints. Furthermore, based on the separation of fruitful and ornamental greenery in Persian gardens, all of studies and comparison have been conducted in two main sections for each of the above mentioned landscape types. Result and discussion:  In Persian gardens, the quality of connection of visitor to the productive sceneries and pleasure landscapes is different. The physical access of public visitors to the productive fields was managed, especially in ceremonial gardens The contemporary conversion (managed or unwanted) of the planting system has undesirable effects on the quality and variety of connection the spectator-scenery, and will decline the genuine differentiation of the connectedness of visitor to the edible and pleasure sceneries.

        Background and Objective: The current study is applied to assess structural elements of landscape mosaic of Chehelsetoon garden to identify whether ecological design criteria have influenced on Chehelsetoon garden design or not.Material and Methodology: Descriptive- analytical has been used in three steps. Firstly, design criteria of Persian gardens have been studied. Secondly, design features of Chehelsetoon garden have been analyzed and compared with Persian garden criteria. Then adaption degree of design features of Chehelsetoon with Persian garden criteria has been determined.Findings: The results of the current research indicate that rectangular shapes are the main pattern of the landscape of studied area. In addition, continuous mass and rectangular shapes are recognized as the pattern of surrounding green spaces of the Chehelsetoon garden. It should be noted that green space of the main axis of garden is continuous strip patterns.Discussion and Conclusion: Using water in contrast with high humidity of the environment, land morphology intervention, incompatibility with vernacular landscape and using Persian garden pattern and planting non-native trees and flowers (evergreen trees) in the main axis of garden show that designer concentrate on developing Persian garden patters instead of ecological design criteria.

        Background and Objective: Interpretation of historic urban gardens as a text containing multilayer meanings, in order to creating a structure that meets the physical and spiritual needs of humans over the time, would be a reason for planning for new functional requirements in new urbanism. In this research, by assuming that the historic urban gardens have a readable and comprehensible pattern language in Persian’s gardening tradition, we attempted to recognize the pattern language of in Masoudiyeh Garden, Farah Abad Garden and Negarestan Garden. Method: In this study, research is "theoretical", the philosophical basis of research is interpretive, research approach is qualitative and research design is deductive-comparative. The method of data analysis is through the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and the data gathering tools are library studies and survey research. Findings: Having reviewing the literature of research and determining the pattern language of the Persian gardens and weighting the patterns in the data analysis stage, the results showed that physical structure with a weight of 0.428 is more important than functional structure (0.334) and a spatial quality structure (0.238). In the overall results of the patterns and final weight of the adaptability of the pattern language of the gardens shows that Masoudiyeh Garden ranked the first with a weight of 0.436, and then the Farah Abad Garden (0.345) and Negarestan Garden (0.219) stands second and third.Discussion and Conclusion: In this way, the understanding the language of urban historic gardens can be a basis to respond to the needs of today’s circumstances.

        Background and Objective: Spending long time in the hospital environment, usually for patients, staff and visitors is stressful and unpleasant experience. In this study, we attempted to integrate principles of healing gardens, horticultural therapy and Persian gardens in order to extract suitable criteria for designing therapeutic environments which provide peace of mind and wellbeing for the individuals present at these sites. We specially considered the cultural and climate specifications of Iran in developing the criteria. Method: Since, one of the main components of healing gardens and horticultural therapy spaces is their user-oriented nature. These spaces should be compatible with the interests and preferences of each society. Therefore, this study was carried out based on the methodology of combined strategies and case studies. Because of abundance of contents, in this paper, only the first part is discussed and the second part: “synthesis strategies” is explained in detailed in another paper. Results: In this study, principles of the Persian Garden, healing gardens and horticultural therapy was combined and then design principles of therapeutic environments with special emphasis on the comfort of users through the stimulation of the senses, simplicity, visual pleasure, increased social interaction, rehabilitation patients, etc. were developed. Conclusion: Although, the healing gardens have gained an extensive attention from different countries in recent years, this kind of gardens have not been implemented in Iran yet. Consequently, it seems that the combinationof Persian garden principles with healing sites design principles along with appropriate planting can create a peaceful and wellbeing place for patients, visitors and staff and leads to reduction of stress, increase of social interaction and life expectancy, and improving healing of users.

        Background and Objective: Sprawl growth of the cities has different environmental impacts. This process leads to destruction of suburban agricultural land and marginal orchards. The devastation of suburb area not only influenced the area, but also it has different impacts on whole city. Sarab Qanbar gardens which located in the southern city of Kermanshah, is largely degraded as a result of urban Sprawl growth. While area protection is compulsory necessity due to the ecological services which provided by this area.Method: Landscape ecology framework were used to develop the area in order to achieve the mentioned goal. Therefore, first the appropriate landscape metrics were used. In the next stage, patches and corridors have been identified and analyzed based on field surveys. Ecological redesign was the final stage.Findings: The strategic design plan of the area was designed, which has been done based on strategic planning. Strategies were classified in four groups of protective, defensive, offensive and opportunistic. Each class determined based on patch and corridors characteristics and their interaction with context.  Finally, actions and strategic plan were purposed protection and development of the area.Discussion and conclusion: The expansion of the city has led to the creation of disturbance patches in the region, On the other hand, natural patches tend to be crushed, Natural corridors face serious challenges. While the spread of disturbing corridors leads to changes in the structure of the landscape and the ecological fracture has intensified. The continuation of this process will lead to the destruction of these lands, which will have many consequences. Effective environmental design can be providing a proper framework based on the landscape ecology by defining the city's proper functions, it will protect these natural arenas. Manuscript profile

        There is a cosmological thinking in the imagination of Iranians in the form of an image that divides the space into four parts by four rivers with vertical axes, which is called the reference model of the Persian garden. Algebraic geometry was considered as a kind of regular formation of nature, while these geometries were especially responsive to mystical and sacred structures. Since mystical language is the language of simile and allegory in Islamic art, especially during the Safavid period, the purpose of this study is to recognize the influence of mystical-Shiite thought on the emergence of a reference model in Iranian gardens. According to the theoretical foundation of the research, which is based on the Islamic Wisdom System, a combined method is used which consists of analysis of qualitative content and inferential reasoning which is tested in the historical context using determinative evidence and of course according to Due to the historical interpretive nature of some hypotheses, its orientation (study) will be explanatory-narrative, their interpretation is based on the content analysis of historical texts, combined with logical reasoning. In conclusion, The research findings show that the peak of Shiite mystical thinking in the unified system of Safavid government, the bedrock The centralist allegorical idea in the conclusion of the Persian garden as two intersecting axes perpendicular to each other around the middle pavilion with placement provided the pond at its heart to match the centrifugal geometry of the Iranian garden reference pattern.

                In recent decades, we have witnessed the rise of theorists in the areas of urban planning and urbanization to its nature and further revival, which is affected by the increasing global pollution and environmental concerns that have seriously threatened our planet in recent decades and led to sustainable urban development topics, with issues such as preventing local pollution, reducing the consumption of irreversible resources in the settlement consumption system. Human beings, especially cities, pay attention to recycling and reproduction of consumable resources, supporting environmental activities, etc. In this regard, permaculture approach with emphasis on sustainable urban agriculture culture as one of the newest approaches in the world has been considered by scientific circles and urban management. Permaculture movement is part of the biophilic or "nature-friendly city" movement, except that in this approach, emphasizing the cultivation of fruitful food species, waste recycling, reduction and saving of water and soil resources and energy resources, reducing urban waste and maximizing the usefulness due to "synergy among urban residents has been proposed and due to the ease of implementation strategies, it is one of the most important and executive strategies. The most available approaches of communities from environmental problems and the optimal link between the city and nature of the world are taken into account. In this paper, by researching reliable scientific databases, the conceptual analysis of the urban permaculture approach is and by identifying the characteristics and methods of implementing urban aperture based on the review-narrative method, it is attempted to achieve appropriate policy-making solutions based on its correct understanding.  Extended AbstractIntroduction:     In recent decades, we have witnessed the return of urban planning and urbanization theorists to its nature and further revival, a factor influenced by the increasing global pollution and environmental concerns which have extremely threatened our planet in recent years and led to the broaching of sustainable urban development topics, with issues such as: preventing local pollution and reducing the consumption of irreversible resources in the system of habitation. Human beings pay attention to recycling and reproduction of consumable resources, supporting environmental activities, etc. In this regard, permaculture approach emphasizing sustainable urban agricultural culture as one of the newest approaches in the world has been considered by scientific circles and urban management. One of the foremost capabilities of permaculture is its realization in various types of open and closed spaces, public and private, semi-public and semi-private urban and rural according to the concept of sustainable development, which means combining economic, social and environmental goals to maximize the welfare of the present human being without harming the ability of the next generations to meet their needs (QECD, 2001:11).      The concept of permaculture design is the realization of ecological engineering programs "with emphasis on providing healthy food needs of citizens in their living environment and "culture based on environment or canvas" is available in the local settlement. The basis for this eco-ideological approach or "ideology-ecology" provided the basis for this view, which is entirely derived from the geographical perspective of agricultural production without the occurrence of environmental damages and by preserving moral values in both urban and rural spaces. Also, this approach can lead to the promotion of cultural and social exchanges of citizens at the urban level. It can be said that permaculture is in fact a combination of sustainable agriculture and a culture of living in an environmentally friendly way that can be viewed in all aspects of human habitation, from agriculture to ecological construction in cities to appropriate technology that combines an agricultural system and principles of social design. The concept of permaculture is considered one of the major approaches to the realization of sustainable development in urban and rural areas and an exit approach for third world societies from the environmental crises of their polluted cities, the permaculture movement is part of the biofilk or "nature-friendly city" movement, except that in this approach, the emphasis is on cultivating fruitful food species, recycling waste, reducing and saving the consumption of water and soil resources.Methodology:      Given the fact that this article is a review article using valid scientific databases, a summary of preliminary and original studies in the field of urban permaculture based on newer articles and global resources has been discussed in this regard; by using new findings in the field of urban planning science based on nature-friendly city view, we present the realization of this issue to review valid articles. International books and opinions of global experts in this field and the summation and classification of the mentioned data in the form of strategy executive approaches are discussed in accordance with the conditions of the environment.Results and discussion:       Permaculture is defined as an "excellent" form of organic gardening and as a design system for flexible living and land use based on global ethics and environmental design principles in cities and villages, based on the type of plant species planting within towns and villages, the edge spaces, their proximity and outside are divided into the following six areas:  Zero zone within important urban centers, zone one of the closest areas of residential areas and garden zone of salad plants, medicinal plants, soft and delicate fruits (strawberries, strawberries), greenhouse plants, amplified area and vermicompost reservoirs. Permaculture 2nd zone edge range is dedicated to cultivation of perennial plants, fruit bushes and trees, vegetables, large reservoirs of compost, pumpkin and sweet potatoes with less care level. The third zone is dedicated to the cultivation of crops and fruit orchards for domestic and commercial purposes while the fourth zone is considered a quasi-savvy area, which outside the settlements and forage cultivation areas, groves, forests and wetlands, etc. Zone 5 includes wildlife, which is a genetic reservoir of wild species. The first three zones are completely related to human settlement lands and there are solutions for self-reliance of food, creating fun and fruitful green spaces and educating nature-friendly citizens, so the permaculture approach from reaching the stages of compost production at home and preventing waste destruction and utilization of non-drinking water and rainwater gray water to creating gardens in private and semi-public spaces and even public and social farms and farm schools and farm universities to "farm property" or farms in commercial centers can take effective steps towards social self-confidence, optimal consumption, environmental protection, nutrition improvement, cultural promotion of society with the lowest cost and highest productivity and in line with nature and based on health and prosperity brings.Conclusion:    The most important results of the realization of urban permaculture strategy can be considered on the basis of the studies conducted by researchers in this field as follows:- Permaculture economic strategy is based on "productive city"; self-employment and economic self-sufficiency of urban neighborhoods, the ability to produce enough food for all people in their areas of life, without the need for external resources reduce the costs of providing food for families, especially low-income classes, and save the cost of providing healthy and fresh fruits and vegetables.- The environmental strategy of this approach is based on the multiple plants and even animal species and is based on biodiversity, biological control of pests, production of compost, conservation of nature, improvement of air and water pollutants, etc. And the ultimate realization becomes a "healthy city".- The social strategy of the city in this approach leads to the promotion of social exchanges in common areas and the exchange of experiences, unity and empathy, appropriate social education of different generations, social mobilization in the direction of healthy life and an intelligent and inclusive society, and by creating sustainable settlements in order to revitalize urban spaces, an effective and feasible step is possible.
