The relevant extent researches indicate that human presence could lead to a convenient life, mental retrieval and the decrease of tension, too. Therefore, if there is a pleasant and desired relevance between human and the environment in its design, the mental health care of the community will be promoted. Nowadays in designing residential complex, the main goal is the economic cost decline and the given shelter provision. Besides being designed with the residents' needs, it has relied on the designers' points of views among which is one of the main criteria in applied challenges by which the sense of belonging to the place is promoted and it assists profession to be more correspondent to the requests, interests, and climate. In this research, the open space' role is examined through promoting the sense of belonging to place, the purpose of this research is to identify the influential factors in qualifying the open space in residential complex and presenting its evaluative model as well as the applicable strategy through enhancing the attachment of residents in given compacts to the middle social class in Tehran city. Thus, the relevant research purposes are classified and determined as follow: 1. Determine the residential pattern effect on human relations from theoretical backgrounds and professional texts with putting emphasis upon the green space and landscape architecture in promoting the sense of belonging to place; 2. Determine the influential environmental aspects in the residential complex on human relationships to promote the sense of belonging to place based on the landscape, green space and surrounding area of the residential complex; 3. Examine the satisfactory reasons for residential complex and its effect on the human relationship to increase the satisfaction of residential complex and promote the sense of belonging to the place. In this research, evaluation of the green space is one of the most influential physical aspects to promote quality and space congeniality of the residential environment in order to enhance the influential environmental conditions on promoting the sense of belonging to the place. In discussing the theoretical background using textual clarification and its content analysis through examining related texts to the desired space, the relevant definitions and concepts to research topic are studied and presented and then, through the analytical and comparative approach and users' preoccupation, the final deductions and criteria are classified and valued. In this regard, the comparative study of several residential complex' samples, desired green space and given environmental non-qualified units is conducted, with two groups of residents, the case studies were done and attempted to both classify and determine the space congeniality. Then, using an analytical-comparative method and selecting 4 residential complex samples in two desired and non-desired groups, the desired qualified landscape green space is suitable and the others lack given environmental qualities. Residents of the desired environment and qualified designed green space had a positive view and more sense of belonging to the place. Manuscript profile -

With the increasing size of cities, density and civility, citizenship and social relations -that are the most important principles in the city- are weakened and hence a sense of community and emotional ties that have been present in past societies, is disappearing in modern society. Public spaces are key elements in shaping social life; trying to provide an appropriate context to living and satisfying needs of residents and to increase social interactions and solidarity between people in an appropriate environment. Especially in big cities, Sub-urban areas tend to lose their identity and there is no border among private and semi-private open spaces.Therefore, collective interactions among residents living in biological spaces have declined. Social structure and physical and social interaction between headquarters and behavioral and social locations effect on residents; this is a criteria for measuring the utility of bio locations. The purpose of this study is to recognize the responsible components that improve the quality of open space as a mean of improving the quality of social life and seeks to honor social interactions among the logical relationships. Survey method of this study was filling out questionnaires. The test population consisted of 4 residential complexes at Shiraz city. Samples were estimated by Cochran, 217 Questionnaires based on random cluster distribute among residents of Complexes. Validity of the questionnaire was estimated %0.84, measured by Cronbach's alpha. To analyze the data, SPSS and Minitab software were used and also analyzed by Anova and Chi-square test. As a result, this study concluded factors affecting on open space effect on social interactions. The role of physical, social and physical environment as forming simple and complex social relations is important; this role should be able to satisfy the demands of residents in public spaces. So, role and function of complex biological design and quality of open space in promoting the social interaction is confirmed. By providing visual attraction and desirability of physical and emotional spaces with factors such as order and harmony, identifying the security and reachability, visual beauty can be strengthen amongst other human needs. Presence of individuals and different social groups and social interactions among them is considered a social desirability due to interaction between people and the relationship between the quality of spaces and activities increases the amount of activity ability. Physical and suitable design form and shape the desirable space, so that provide a personal space suitable that matches the culture and psychology of personality and individual residents. The high quality of open space the more social interaction; so, in order to enhance the positive impact of residential complexes on relationships quality of open space should improve and therefore solidarity and belonging to a place is attainable. Findings show that there was a significant relationship between the variables. Finally, placement of a group of residential complexes around a common open space can lead to creation of spatial diversity and a variety of social relationships; this linkage strengthens the social interactions, suitable social stability and collective belonging.

The necessity of this issue is based on the models presented for human necessary demands. Social connections is one of this necessary factors that have to take place in residential blocks. Research records on present designs shows that shell properties of a residential block space and their features can be effective on their ideality and affect the quality of resident's social life. Therefore assemble able spaces in architecture shall get under study as a base to improve communication and formation social connections of assemble able aspect. In assemble able spaces people tend to link up together and these spaces will use up by almost all sorts of available people who live in milieu, and by this way their sites belong to population personality. In fact assemble able spaces which have routine life origin are multipurpose spaces which provide the required space for plenty activities and are used by users and provide users social coordination. This research aims to find an architectural solution to increase resident's social connections in residential spaces and thereupon improving resident's life quality. In the subject of research method, sources and histories of the subject reviewed and research literature have studied at first and generic factor were studied, then assemble ability in different spaces in residential blocks as the subject specified. To achieve to effective properties in assemble ability and on its process, improving residential blocks life quality, quantitative and thematic research methods have been used. In this instance cases Sa'eedieh, Kashani, Bu-Ali, and Imam Reza residential blocks which all four cases located in Hamedan- Iran were chosen. To study the aforementioned cases, indices test questionnaire administrated and adjusted and by using KUKRAN test, the statistic population specified and dispensed between residential blocks’ citizens and after perusing and comings, obtained data imported in computer and by using SPSS and SmartPlus have been analyzed and indices analyze results have been presented. Research findings show that to improve and promote life quality and urban spaces quantity specially in residential spaces, and changing people's minds about home, one of the basic guidelines to resolve this important matter, is designing based on social characteristic and cultural principals and standards, including neighborhood and assemble able stations. On the base which have narrated a residential lap divided into four aspects including activity and cultural aspect, welfare aspect, social aspect and shell aspect which each one of them has its different factors, should observe on residential spaces design. In general, conclusion of this research points to two principals about determination of programming and designing principals to programming and treating subbases, designs and suggestions based on user’s demands and will. The findings demonstrate that there exist a constellation of factors of physical, mental and psychological nature, green spaces, defined physical characteristics, and a set of architectural and environmental factors which determines the people’s contentment.

An evolving b MoreThe dominance of technology over human lifestyle affected the human health and quality of environment. Therefore, mental health problems, stress, and depression are currently considered as the leading causes of somatic disability and premature death. An evolving body of scientific evidence demonstrates solid relations between housing and health. The public health community is developing, testing, and implementing effective interventions that yield health benefits through improved housing quality. Due to the growth of social and environmental challenges, the stress-related diseases are increasing. Stressors that come from poor design of residential environments -crowding, noise, poor indoor air quality and light – can have a negative impact on human mental health. Evidence also increasingly suggests that people with access to quality green space are healthier. Being outside can promote mental well-being, relieve stress, overcome isolation, improve social cohesion and alleviate physical problems. So knowing how environment affects health can help mitigate the impacts of environmental stress and improve health. Since healthy environment is defined as one of the factors in human’s sustainable life and basic needs. Hence, in designing the housing environments, infrastructure planning has a significant role in recreating the environmental factors which have impacts on health. The aim of this study is to be prepared based on assessment of environmental factors effective on mental health and its results can be regarded as a solution for designing the healthy housing environments. GOLD BERG GHQ-12 questionnaire was used to assess mental health of the subjects in the residential complex. The instruments needed for investigation of the environment quality include three components: physical, social and natural environments. All the participants lived in two residential complexes which are called “600- unit” and “512- unit” in Mashhad. A 351-subject sample was surveyed. Descriptive and inferential statistical methods were used to analyze the data, and SPSS16 and LISREL software were used to carry out the calculations and process the information. Findings of this study show that there is a relationship between qualities of human’s living environment (including physical, social and aspects of the environment) and mental health. Therefore, the quality of each residential complex can be measured by the variables related to mental health of the residents. Results of the study shows that, among all factors affecting the mental health, the physical component of the environment has the most dissatisfaction and the most negative impact on the health of the residence; and after that, social and environmental factors have the most impact on each residents’ health, respectively, in both residential complexes. Therefore, by improving the physical condition of housing environment, it can be used to improve the health of people living in residential complexes. In this regard, most efforts should be in order to maximize the amount of light (to control the height of the buildings), increasing green space and the right to organize, assign spaces for walking and observing the hierarchy summarize from the public to private. We can expect in such an environment, social relationships, and improved the quality of their environment to enhance biological inhabitants. Manuscript profile -

Identifying the main factors that affect quality improvement, providing a model for quality measurement in the residential environment, and then prioritizing indexes is essential. Not only does this method study the issue of quality from the perspective of residents living in the selected complex, but also it can be used in quality improvement policies and strategies of residential environments. Therefore, this article considers three main factors: capability of intermediate spaces, quality of architectural design, and personal characteristics of residents in question. This article analyzed the relationship between these factors and the quality of residential complexes. Further, it determined environmental quality based on residents’ needs and expectations by providing a four-level model for measuring quality in residential complexes and measuring indicators from residents. Then, it identified the principal indicators in quality improvement of the environment by prioritizing indicators. This measurement used t-test, correlation, and factor analysis. The results obtained in the field of research hypotheses showed that there is a significant correlation between the indicators of the duration of residence, level of education, age and type of ownership (in the individual characteristics of residents), the ability of intermediate spaces, and the quality of architects’ design with the quality of the residential environment. The results showed that the residents of Vahdat Beton Complex are not satisfied with the quality of their residential environment. The quality score showed that the most dissatisfaction is with the area of the residential complex. Also, the consequence of the significant coefficient demonstrated that the area of the residential unit should be considered by the city officials, as their top priority. The results of the analysis of the elements that make up the quality of the environment showed that space 2 at the level of the neighborhood unit, space 2 at the level of the residential complex, and space 3 at the level of the residential unit is more important spaces for the residents. Moreover, the lowest level of residents’ satisfaction is with the accessibility at the level of the residential complex and the observance of privacy, overlooking, and visual pleasure at the level of the residential unit. Prioritization of measures to improve the quality of the environment showed that space 3, at the level of the neighborhood unit, space 2 at the level of a residential complex, spaces 1 & 3 at the level of the residential unit are the most important spaces for improving the quality of buildings. It also showed that indicators of green space and social livelihood in space 2, visual pleasure and sensual richness in space 3 of neighborhood unit level, accessibility, and readability in space3, green space and controlling the entry of strangers to the complex in space 1 of residential complex level, green space, and belonging in space 3, privacy and overlooking in space 1 of the residential unit level.

Crisis of place identity is a sign of disregard for physical-behavioral patterns in the place, and ultimately the separation of the place from people's experiences and desires. An important point and fundamental gap in place identity research is the lack of attention to the relationship between physical-behavioral patterns arising from the custom of societies and its impact on creating a place identity link. This type of communication, which is called conventional wisdom, is based on the two aspects of rationality and experience, which in the research literature is called conventional wisdom. Furthermore, the place identified as a preparatory space, human social interactions in their semantics, are directly influenced by conventional wisdom. Therefore, the balanced relationship that is formed between a person's place identity and the characteristics of his environment is of great significance. As a result, in the process of architectural design of living space, attention to culture, customs, beliefs, worldview, etc. of any society and its impact on collective identity is of particular importance. The present article tries to focus on creating quality residential environments, examines and identifies the effect of conventional wisdom components on the formation of place identity. Also, since housing covers a large part of cities, the architecture of residential complexes must be consistent with the values, customs, culture, beliefs, worldview, etc. of each community, and this through recognizing the aesthetic tastes of the people is possible. Therefore, the present article is correlational in terms of the type of research: qualitative and quantitative, in terms of strategy: interpretive-analytical, data collection tool, observation and interview, and data analysis method. In this regard, in order to respond to the stated objectives, after examining the proficient conventional wisdom components informing the place identity and extracting the conceptual model of the research, to assess the quality criteria and data validity, the Elahiyeh residential complex in Urmia is selected. This leads to using observation, and interview tools and descriptive statistics and data correlation analysis by SPSS software, the results have been reviewed. In order to identify the role of conventional wisdom as a context for the continuation of social behavior in creating place identity in residential complexes, three components of collective perception, rationality and actuality have been identified as the main structure of the conceptual model of conventional wisdom in place. The achievements of the research show a direct and significant relationship between the three components of conventional wisdom - rationality, collective perception, and actuality- with the variable of place identity, which confirms the conceptual model of the research. Findings of the research show that among the mentioned components, collective perception is the most major and effective component affecting the place identity. This means that attention to physical-behavioral patterns such as values, beliefs, cultural beliefs, etc. play an essential role in creating a place identity. Manuscript profile -

From early Prehistoric cave-dwellers to medieval and modern cities, the organization of settlements has always tended to provide security as major human needs. Two different approaches is used in describing the concept of security; first, security in its objective form which in this dissertation tries to research about it, and it refers to maintenance of people life and property, it is related to crime prevention. In second approach, security refers to subjective concept. The hypothesis of this research is based on this issue that with using results of current researches in the field of relationship between environment and human behavior, it could be possible to formulate a model for crime prevention and improvement of security in building complexes. Universal approach of crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED), is used as fundamental theory of this article. It is a different approach to preventing crime and can be said that the design and re-design of an environment may reduce crime opportunity. Four factors in this approach including surveillance, accessibility control, territoriality and image is used as important physical factors in security of residential complexes. Qualitative and quantitative approaches are used in two different parts of this research. In first part, qualitative approach is used for reviewing literature by context analysis and then with interpretation approach and comparative analysis method, this part of research tries to investigate the environmental factors in security of residential complexes. In second part, quantitative method is used for identification of physical elements which affects security in residential complexes of Hamedan. This step results in formulating a model by using interviews and questionnaires. For analyzing the conceptual model, the study used structured equity model by questionnaires in Likert scale answers. The results of analysis are interpreted by descriptive-analytic method. The results show that some physical elements are working through social elements and then affect security. The results of this article shows that some of physical features which are important in security issue, such as lighting, opening , body form, and green space are related to building complexes’ security. The results show that there is not any significant relationship between fence and gate and security of studied samples. Investigation about research findings shows that the physical features of fences and gates and behavioral habits of people as a cultural factor, are of the most important reasons of fading of fences and gates roles in securitization of Hamedan residential complexes. The results show the importance of residential complex periphery context in relation to complex security regarding the existence or the lack of appropriate physical context and the type of adjacent land-uses. The results introduce three level of major, median and minor in relation to building complexes security. City region, situation of building complexes in city and cultural factors are addressed in major level of security researches in building complexes. Urban fabric in median level and physical elements and environmental elements in minor level are addressed in security researches in building complexes. Manuscript profile -

Lack of appropriate concern and consideration for human needs and the subsequent psychological effects on modern residential designs in Iran causes many complications in social and individual life. Among the most important human needs, which have been neglected in the modern Iranian designs, we can mention the needs for privacy and social interactions. Today, based on a wide verity of reasons people are required to live a collective life in the form of “multi-unit building”. However they are not only deprived from the advantages of this kind of social life, but also they consider this situation, as a compromise to their privacy and individuality. This also contributes to the problems of relationship between the residents. In fact, there should be a solution to establish a balance between the social interaction and privacy of people living in such a situation. On the other hand, in Iran, being neighbors is traditionally considered as a close functional and emotional relationship. Therefore, the roots of the current cold relationships in residential environments should be looked for in the lack of consideration in the design of the neighborhoods and buildings. Also, In the contemporary architecture of Iran, following the decline of open spaces in residential architecture, and converting them to a route for moving cars, not only these spaces are not adequate to satisfy social needs but cause the cutting of social relations in the neighborhoods. So, considering the importance of relationships and social interactions between humans and ignoring that in modern designs, as for the lacking of such researching in the country, this study will improve the social interactions of residents and enhance neighborly relations by examining and understanding the factors in the design of open spaces in residential complexes. This study is the type of applied-survey research, after explaining the various aspects of social relationships among humans, investigates the effect of environment and the role of open spaces in increasing the social interactions of residents. And in the process of this review has been used the comments from residents of three residential complexes in Isfahan for quantitative assessment. These residential complexes have different patterns of design; “Zeitoon complex” is an example that has been attended to the type of landscaping design and creation of open spaces. “Moshtagh complex” is another complex that has a wide outdoor space but considering the various factors in the design of open space can be seen less. “Aftab complex” is the third complex that has no open space. After analyzing the questionnaires responses, findings show that various factors such as socially homogeneous of residents and use of effective design patterns for creating the safe, attractive and convenient environment for the presence of family members in open spaces of complex has considerable impacts in relationships and social interactions of the neighborhoods.

Construction of tall buildings from its beginning as a result of modern architecture, for reasons like speed of construction (industrialization), high density (accommodation of more people) etc. grew considerably, but gradually it caused other types of problems including mere consideration of performance, less human interaction, and etc. on the one hand, today, any lack of attention to social interactions in designing process has been changed into one of the major challenges at residential complexes. On the other hand, we have establishment of residential complexes as an effect of population increase, expensive price of land and also economic benefits in our country which may cause further changes in structure of residential spaces and omission of interacted spaces from Iranian architecture. The results are lack of responding to social necessities of people and a reduction in sense of place. Residential apartments have different aspects that should be consistently considered in all stages of their construction, including planning, studies, design and operation, in order to achieve a desired environment and improvement in quality of life. One of the most important factors in evaluating residential complexes is social sustainability that enhances quality of living. In definition "social sustainability in residential complexes is a situation where residents enjoy living in the residential complexes and neighborhood with other residents and they are satisfied”. In other words, human is a social creature and to meet their needs they have to communicate and interact with others. Therefore, considering psychological - social factors besides other indicators like economic and environmental-physical factors are important for achieving satisfaction as the main criteria for measuring quality of life. In this paper, using field study and questionnaires, social interaction rates in several residential complexes have been evaluated and its objective is evaluation of socio - cultural indicators in residential complexes, determining the position of design in improving social interactions, explaining the role of social interaction in improvement of living quality and finally presenting strategies in this area. In this context, at first the concept of social interactions in housing area and views of scholars in this field have been reviewed and then position of social interactions in the design process to achieve the criteria for comparison of case samples have been analyzed and then considering the results some strategies have been presented at the conclusion. The results indicate that there is always a direct relationship between the amount of social interaction and higher quality of living environment. Moreover, it can be said that the more social factors are considered in the design process, the more willingness of residents to the social interactions are seen and residents feel more satisfaction with their buildings. Communication and social interaction among residents as one of the most important social factors affecting collective living always increase the sense of belonging and continuity of presence in places.

Therefore, t MoreResidential complexes are accounted as the most complicated and basic performance in the architectural area of the 20th century and they can have a great effect on their inhabitants' behaviors and relations. In architecture people are the most basic factor. Therefore, the meaning of each architectural work is subject to the extent it provides the relief, relaxation, and satisfaction of people and also to the extent it would meet their needs (Alexander, 1994); In other word, a given residential space shall be able to provide the necessary conditions for individual growth of all members of the family from the youngest to the most elderly one; that is, each of the family members shall be able to find a suitable space and the necessary private territory for fulfilling activities and achieving their physical and mental relaxation and tranquility based on their individual mental needs and interests; In addition, a given residential space shall be able to provide a necessary environment for holding family-bound relations and establishing unity among them in order to protect and strengthen the system of family as a whole. A residential center or a living space shall have two efficacy: first is the physical aspect; that is, creating an environment with easy access to suitable facilities, desirable heat degree, suitable pressure, humidity, airflow, or suitable light, etc.; second is meeting people's moral needs i.e. creating suitable spaces with life style, type of culture, and social customs and etiquettes; If these two conditions are considered as fully as possible, they can bring a sense of desirability and resultantly lead to providing some degrees of people's satisfaction. This research has been conducted for analysis of satisfaction rate of a residential complex and its impact on the people's relations with the aim of 1- recognizing the variables effective on satisfaction, 2- analyzing the satisfaction rate of an environment and 3- disclosing the relationship between the satisfaction rate of an environment and the impact of that environment on the people's behaviors. This research is a fundamental and applied one attempting to take a step, even little, for increasing the quality of life in our beloved country, Iran, by disclosing the effective variables on satisfaction and their impacts on interpersonal relations in the residential complexes. Therefore, in line with the above-mentioned objectives, at first, we made an analysis on how the satisfaction is made in a residential center. In fact, what are the variables and features influencing a person's satisfaction of a residential center? And consequently, this question arises that what behavioral impacts the satisfaction or dissatisfaction of a residential center have on an individual. Finally, these issues led to formation of this hypothesis: "Satisfaction of an environment can bring about the positive effects on the relations between people there". As any kind of scientific research aim to answer the questions about the subject of research, some residential complexes in Tehran including Ekbatan, Behjatabad, and Farhangian Residential Complexes were studied in scrutiny in order to test the veracity and truth of the relevant hypothesis and then, the information was collected and analyzed in a package of SPSS software by means of a questionnaire in the form of 2520 statistical data. The results achieved suggest a strong correlation between the satisfaction rate of a complex and its impact on people's relations and correspondences. Manuscript profile -

From the research methodology perspective, this research is qualitative research conducted with the help of library and field studies by studying documents related to the topic, taking photographs, and semi-structured interviews with 387 residents of social housing complexes in Shiraz who were selected by random probability method. The interviews, which were in the form of audio and video files, were converted into text and entered into the ATLAS-TI 9 software. After coding and determining the validity of the subcategories, concepts, and codes by ten experts in the design of residential complexes, they were extracted in the form of diagrams. The data coding by subcategories and concepts is also compared with the effective components of designing social housing complexes. It is worth mentioning that the selection of social housing complexes in Shiraz was done by the AHP method with the help of Expert Choice 11 software. The findings revealed that the components related to the place attachment of the residents's social housing complexes based on interviews with their users include social connections, emotional connection with the place, the meanings of the place, and the dark side of the attachment to the place.

This study investigates a relationship between three physical parameters of green space - "visual density," "weighted height of vegetation," and "per capita ratio of green space to an open common area of the complex" - and a resident's sense of belonging through five subjective and objective independent variables - transparency," "proportion and scale," "physical and visual diversity," "flexibility" and "privacy and Enclosure " - in four residential complexes in the city of Qom - the center of Iran. Data were extracted from a survey study (n=320), documents, and written sources. it was analyzed using second-order confirmatory factor analysis and hierarchical linear regression. Based on the research literature review and identified gaps, a conceptual model was presented to explain the factors contributing to promoting a sense of place through greening in residents. In the results, a level of a perceived sense of belonging of the residents of the samples in the central courtyard was observed to be higher than in the scattered courtyard. Also, a positive correlation was observed between the psychological and physical components of the green space with the feeling of belonging to a place. The findings showed that among the psychological components, the "transparency," and among the physical components, the "Per-Capita Green Area" had the most positive effect on the resident's sense of belonging Manuscript profile -

The objective of this study is to investigate the concentration of potentially toxic elements in dust collected from residential complex in Isfahan during the winter (2022-2023). To ensure comprehensive coverage, 31 residential residential complex were chosen across the entire Isfahan City. Dust samples were collected in triplicate (totaling 93 samples) from from the internal surfaces of the ground or first floor of residential complexes, except for common spaces. The samples were transferred to the laboratory and the concentrations of Lead, Cadmium, Arsenic, Zinc, Cobalt, Nickel, Copper, Chromium, and Vanadium were then measured using an ICP-OES device, model Optima 83. The average concentrations of Arsenic, Cadmium, Nickel, Manganese, Cobalt, Lead, and Vanadium in the collected samples were found to be 5.55, 0.95, 32.6, 241, 3.87, 300, and 30.6 mg/kg, respectively. According to the enrichment factor analysis, the concentrations of Lead and Cadmium were of non-natural and anthropogenic sources in all sampling stations except for West Allameh Amini. A notable positive correlation was observed between the Lead enrichment factor and the traffic index at a 95% confidence level (p-value=0.021, r= 0.369). Similarly, a significant strong positive correlation was found at a 99% confidence level between the ecological risk assessment index and the traffic index (Pvalue=0.00, r= 0. 619). This suggests that traffic has a major impact on the concentration of potentially toxic elements at the sampling stations. Manuscript profile -

The importance of flexibility of residential spaces results in building appropriate and desirable spaces that ensure the physical and mental health of human. Since social interactions are decreasing in the new era, its architecture seems to look for spaces that are appropriate for social interactions and correspond to the needs of their residents. In other words, it should be sufficiently flexible, leading to social interaction improvement. Regarding the importance of public spaces in residential complexes, this study intended to show the [importance] of flexibility of such spaces and the paths to flexibility and sociability. It also investigated whether or not the flexibility of public spaces improves dwelling quality. Method:The assessment of the components of flexibility of public spaces was done using interview and observation, and analysis of their results Findings:The use of flexibility in residential units, in different stages, provides the possibility of adapting people's residences to their changing needs and specific culture, which can include different potentials for implementing changes. Also, by reducing the side costs of moving and with an optimal and responsive design, it increases productivity and economic savings and increases the useful life of residential buildings. In addition, it can be a solution to reduce confusion in functions, anonymity in form and general disorder of residential units that are designed for undefined audiences. Conclusion: Findings of this study suggested that there was a direct relationship between the degrees of flexibility and sociability of public spaces. Manuscript profile -

Therefore, th MoreIntroduction & Objective: Recognition of climatic variables affecting the thermal comfort and morphology created in the open spaces of residential complexes made it possible to provide appropriate solutions to increase the quality of open environments. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to study the formal geometry and shape structure of residential complexes on the thermal comfort of open spaces to increase the quality of the ambient and the use of users. Methodology: This research is applied in terms of purpose, and the method is quantitative. Four forms of common types of urban residential complexes in Shiraz have been selected with a linear pattern, regular and irregular complexes, central (environmental) and combined (mixed) and have been studied and analyzed in three short cases of 3-storey, medium-height 6-storey and high-rise 12 floors. Methods: To analyze the data, the simulation has been performed by considering the form and orientations in four different patterns in the current situation and by analyzing the results of the simulation with different geometric forms. And their measurement is done using ENVI-met software. Then, using climatic data in Rayman software, the physiologically equivalent temperature is obtained. Findings and Discussion: The results showed that the form of composite and complex blocks in the short case has a better performance in terms of thermal comfort due to more shading. In the mid-height mode, due to the higher wind speed and shading, and the linear form due to the higher wind speed, they have more favorable conditions in terms of thermal comfort and the least critical hours. In the form of composite and complex blocks in the mid-height state, increasing the height reduces the wind movement in other places and the efficiency of these two forms decreases. In the high-height mode, the peripheral and linear blocks have higher wind speeds and more favorable conditions in thermal comfort due to the elongation of the form. Finally, considering the differences in the morphology of residential complexes, it will affect the amount of thermal comfort and utilization of the environment. Manuscript profile -

The current research, which is of a descriptive-analytical type and was prepared using a survey method, while identifying the effective factors in spatial attachment including "form-physical", "perceptual-emotional" and "activity-functional" and ranking them It deals with the level of residential satisfaction. These components in the formal-physical index include the components of "presence ability", "desired quality", "suitable density", "collective spaces" and "indicative places", in the perceptual-emotional index including the components of "duration of residence". "marital status", "personal income", "gender" and "occupation". The components of "memorable local events", "social interactions", "special activities", "suitability of activity to needs" and "cooperation" are also included in the sub-components of the activity-functional factor. The case study of this research is the Aseman residential complex in Tabriz, and its statistical population consists of the residents of this complex. The results of the surveys show that the perceptual-emotional factor with an average score of (3.610) and the formal-physical factor with an average score of (2.932) had the greatest and least impact on creating attachment to a place, respectively. The components of "presence" (3.02) from the formal-physical factor, "duration of residence" (3.73) from the perceptual-emotional factor and "memorable local events" (3.62) from the activity-functional factor have the highest score. among the relevant sub-components. Also, the findings show that there is a significant relationship between the effective factors in creating attachment and people's satisfaction with living in high-rise buildings. This means that the higher the quality of these components and the higher the level of people's understanding of them, the greater the attachment to the place. In proportion to this promotion of the sense of belonging in people, their level of satisfaction with living in high-rise buildings increases. According to the findings of the research, it is suggested that architects, designers and urban planners in the design of residential complexes, all the effective indicators on creating spatial attachment, including physical (form and composition, natural elements, lighting, visibility and access and ...), activities (social welfare, commercial, recreational and transportation services, diversity of activities, etc.) should be taken into consideration more in advance and provide the basis for the positive impact of individual and social indicators in order to achieve satisfaction. Residents will increase from living in high-rise residential complexes Extended Abstract Introduction: As one of the important indicators of sustainable urban development, the housing category, if unhealthy, endangers the health and quality of life of a wide range of people in the society and consequently the health of the city. Regarding high-rise buildings and their level of satisfaction, many researchers believe that one of the effects of living in complexes with high population density and unfavorable environmental quality is the weakening of social ties between residents, which itself is the basis for reducing stable communication, non-participation, decreasing the sense of belonging and gradual deterioration of these collections. High-rise construction is one of the methods of providing urban housing, and nowadays, the examination of their responsiveness in providing the quality of life for residents has been more and more noticed by designers and researchers. In Iran, residential complexes in different forms are used as a solution to provide housing, but the examination of the response rate of these complexes to ensure the quality of life for the residents has not been given much attention. Measuring housing satisfaction is complex and depends on many factors. Regarding high-rise buildings and their level of satisfaction, many researchers believe that one of the effects of living in complexes with high population density and unfavorable environmental quality is the weakening of social ties between residents, which itself is the basis for reducing stable communication, non-participation, decreasing the sense of belonging and gradual deterioration of these collections. Given that satisfaction, like human nature, is a complex phenomenon with diverse and different indicators, in the present research, the effective factors in place dependence and satisfaction of citizens from living in high-rise buildings were investigated. The factors influencing the creation of a sense of belonging to a place can be considered to be caused by the person and the surrounding environment (with all its characteristics). This is the case with the factors of the "environmental" and the factors that are affected by the social factors, and the social factors. Local cooperation and local visas create memories, etc., and personal factors include mental images and personal characteristics, etc. Such as mental images, satisfaction, security, relationships, expectations and previous belongings, and personal characteristics have the factors of job, type of residence, reference culture and length of stay. Methodology: The current research, which is of a descriptive-analytical type and was prepared using a survey method, while identifying the effective factors in spatial attachment including "form-physical", "perceptual-emotional" and "activity-functional" and ranking them It deals with the level of residential satisfaction. These components in the formal-physical index include the components of "presence ability", "desired quality", "suitable density", "collective spaces" and "indicative places", in the perceptual-emotional index including the components of "duration of residence". "marital status", "personal income", "gender" and "occupation". The components of "memorable local events", "social interactions", "special activities", "suitability of activity to needs" and "cooperation" are also included in the sub-components of the activity-functional factor. The case study of this research is the Aseman residential complex in Tabriz, and its statistical population consists of the residents of this complex. The questions raised around each indicator were prepared and completed by the statistical community based on the five-point Likert scale. In order to determine the validity of the questionnaire, the content validity method was used qualitatively. The reliability of the questionnaires was also evaluated using Cronbach's alpha calculation method equal to (0.876). Finally, the collected data were processed with SPSS software at two levels of descriptive and inferential statistics and analyzed with Pearson's correlation coefficient test. Results and discussion: The results of the surveys show that the perceptual-emotional factor with an average score of (3.610) and the formal-physical factor with an average score of (2.932) had the greatest and least impact on creating attachment to a place, respectively. The components of "presence" (3.02) from the formal-physical factor, "duration of residence" (3.73) from the perceptual-emotional factor and "memorable local events" (3.62) from the activity-functional factor have the highest score. among the relevant sub-components. Also, the findings show that there is a significant relationship between the effective factors in creating attachment and people's satisfaction with living in high-rise buildings. This means that the higher the quality of these components and the higher the level of people's understanding of them, the greater the attachment to the place. In proportion to this promotion of the sense of belonging in people, their level of satisfaction with living in high-rise buildings increases. In the interpretation of these findings, it can be pointed out that the satisfaction of citizens has a deep relationship with a person's understanding and feeling about an object, subject, place, etc. Events, images, people and belongings in an environment create a memory and mentality in a person and cause feelings such as happiness, enthusiasm, sadness, sadness and memories in a person, which is associated with the creation of attachment. Form-physical factors as well as activity-functional factors, although each of them has some kind of effect in creating a memory and place attachment, but considering that the form-physical factors undergo changes over time, such as additions, colors and lighting, etc. and the activity-functional factors also cause the removal and addition of some activities by changing the use and converting some spaces into future needed spaces to other factors. Conclusion: In a general summary and according to the findings of the research, it can be concluded that all three mentioned factors had a positive effect in creating a sense of belonging and place attachment, but the effect of perceptual-emotional factors was better. So, It is suggested that architects, designers and urban planners in the design of residential complexes, all the effective indicators on creating spatial attachment, including physical (form and composition, natural elements, lighting, visibility and access and ...), activities (social welfare, commercial, recreational and transportation services, diversity of activities, etc.) should be taken into consideration more in advance and provide the basis for the positive impact of individual and social indicators in order to achieve satisfaction residents will increase from living in high-rise residential complexes.

The reason of studying in-between space is the significance of its design in increasing the residents navigating quality. In some contemporary residential patterns, some of features of in-between spaces have been omitted or, if existing, don’t have an appropriate spatial quality. Navigation in In- between space of the residential environment is of the great importance subject. Significant components are effective in enhancing the optimal quality of routing.Therefore, creating environmental backgrounds has a great significance for increasing the navigating quality in residential settings in-between spaces, since it causes the audiences route readability and as a result raises the spatial quality. This study showed that studying the factors effective on navigating quality from audiences' viewpoint and in the after residence stage may yield effective findings for promotion of planning and design of the residential blocks in-between spaces. After residence evaluation depends on the study of effective factors organization which is the accurate recognition of these factors and their effectiveness in navigating from the residents' viewpoint. In this paper, based on performed studies, the components effective on the audience-oriented navigation were identified and classified in three environmental, human and visual domains. This study evaluates the factors effective in designing in-between space and the relation between them regarding navigation. The history of the subject of the relation of inside and outside space has a close relation with the topics discussed in the domain of environmental psychology and behavioral sciences. The need to such debates in the housing ground and relating to what people want their houses was revealed after the failure of some residential projects constructed in 1950s and 1960s.Comparing the obtained parameters the relations between the components of visual perception may be studied regarding the study's objective. For more clarification of the problem, the objects of the study are mentioned as follows: 1- Finding the factors effective on navigation and environmental perception 2- Finding the relation between the components effective in navigation For finding the environmental-human and visual factors, at first field study of the residential complexes in in-between space was performed, then regarding the studied theoretical fundamentals, a table of these factors was prepared.At first, the mentioned components were scrutinized with the content analysis and then were assessed in three residential complexes with structured observation checklist and questionnaire with 90-person statistical population. The questionnaire was codified in three sections based on the components. Data analysis was performed with the aim of finding the significance and relation of the components with each other with SPSS Version 26 software and using Friedman test. The results of study show that from the residents' perception perspective, the balance between three environmental, visual and human components leads to creation of a more optimal space for navigation. These factors were categorized in three groups. It should be mentioned that the components extraction was performed from the research literature and based on the observational checklist and taking notes. Based on Friedman test, the components priority based on their influence rate according to the findings includes respectively visual component, human component and environmental componentAlso, regarding Freidman test, the environmental variable components in the order of significance includes: Form, stimulus of light, color, knot, sequence, spatial, road, contrast, edge, mark Ranking of human variables of components includes: social liveliness, readability, security, control and supervision, availability, pedestrian orientation Ranking of visual variable components includes environment, area, concentration and compression, centuriation, occlusion This study seeks to prove the balance among environmental, human and visual components and finally suggests the designers of this domain to extract a checklist of all effective items resulting from these three components in pre-residence design and their relation with each other. Also, the relation between these variables was extracted based on triple variables. The result of the study shows that the balance between three components may aid the audience in selecting their path. Also, the results of the study helps the designers for creating a framework based on effective factors to be utilized in pre-residence design due to lack of access to environmental user.

The increasing developm MoreToday, one of the problems that has plagued architectural and urban spaces is the issue of vitality. Vitality is one of the basic needs of cities that with the development of urbanization and social harms, its importance is increasing day by day. The increasing development of cities, the increase in population and the need for more housing have led to the demolition of houses and their conversion into high-rise buildings and residential complexes. In Iran, along with the growing trend of urbanization, the policy of mass production of housing in the form of housing complexes as one of the ways to respond to housing needs has expanded rapidly. For this reason, in recent decades in Iran, the pattern of housing production has changed and the need to create mass housing has reduced the quality and desirability of designs. The design of today's residential complexes has caused problems for the individual and social life of the residents due to the lack of attention to human needs and the lack of psychological consequences. Among the psychological needs of human beings in urban spaces and residential complexes is the need to live in a lively and high quality environment. Vitality is an urban keyword that speaks of the dynamism and vibrancy of space in various economic, social, physical and cultural dimensions. There is a close relationship between the quality of spaces and environments outside buildings and the activities that take place in them. Since the level of vitality of people is directly related to improving their quality of life, so its very important to address this issue. The main problem in this study is the non-response of the environment to the psychological needs of citizens, which has caused the existing spaces to face dissatisfaction of residents, which causes only places to be built without considering the needs of users whose public spaces do not meet residents' satisfaction. And have created unsafe and unpleasant environments for them. The main question of the research is to what extent the functional, social, cultural and environmental indicators of open and semi-open spaces affect the sense of vitality of the residents of residential complexes. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to investigate how and to what extent the functional, social, cultural and environmental components of open and semi-open spaces increase the sense of vitality of the residents of residential complexes in Rasht. The research method is combined research (quantitative, qualitative). In the first stage (qualitative method) by studying the research literature and research background, effective factors on life were extracted. At this stage, in order to achieve the desired result and select the most important micro-criteria, the criteria were categorized and compiled in the form of a questionnaire with 5 architects and urban planning specialists (faculty members) to score each of the criteria and select the most important The micro-criteria were surveyed by a closed-ended questionnaire from the lowest (1) to the highest score (5) for each micro-criterion and analyzed by Spss22 software and Friedman ranking test and the most important micro-criteria affecting vitality were extracted. Then, 5 other architects and urban planners were interviewed in the form of a questionnaire. Minority meta-criteria were removed and some common meta-criteria were merged. Finally, the most important components affecting vitality were developed. In the next step (quantitative method), the required data were collected by survey method and through a researcher-made closed-ended questionnaire from the residents of three residential complexes of Pardisan, Cactus and Lakanshahr in Rasht. Residential marked. Sampling was performed using Morgan table. In the next step, with the Pearson test, the correctness of the research hypotheses is analyzed and evaluated. The results of field studies show that there is a significant relationship between the functional, social, cultural and environmental components of this study and the vitality of the residents of the complex. Environmental activity, social activities, recreational activities, attendance, social adjustment, identity, sensory richness, cultural interactions, environmental cleanliness, harmony with nature and comfort. . Finally, according to the research, it is possible to suggest recommendations and solutions in the field of architectural design to improve the vitality of residents in open and semi-open spaces of residential complexes, which is presented in a table in the result section.

A residential complex is a number of building blocks that can include different types of housing, single-family, short and high-rise apartments. In these complexes, apartment blocks are placed on a piece of land based on a pre-thought design. The blocks can be combined with each other in different forms and the open space can be meaningfully connected with the buildings. Residential complexes can be completely closed and separated from the rest of the city with hard boundaries, and they can somehow maintain their environmental connection and at the same time have their own privacy and territory.In a general view, the residential complex consists of blocks and open space between them. According to the number of blocks, the height and arrangement of open and closed space, there are various forms of residential complexes. The design of residential complexes is proposed in three major scales, firstly in the scale of the external link of residential complexes with the surrounding environment, secondly in the scale of internal relations of residential complexes and thirdly in the scale of residential units. In the territory of a residential complex, three private, semi-public and public arenas can be distinguished. Private arenas are residential units. The semi-public area includes the entrance hall, corridors, stairs, elevator and parking. It means the public area of the complex. The typology of high-rise residential complexes consisting of different blocks, in addition to the typology based on the type of access and relationships of internal spaces, is also based on the placement and coexistence of open and closed spaces. The dominant types of these complexes are peripheral arrangement, single blocks, row blocks and a combination of other blocks. The environmental arrangement is in accordance with the principles of traditional Iranian central courtyard houses. In this way, the main facade of the blocks faces the public passage and the private space is located behind the block. The arrangement of blocks around the central core creates a private open space that can be common to all blocks or divided into small private pieces. In the single layout, high-rise residential blocks stand separately next to each otherResidential communities are an integral part of contemporary urban planning in developing countries, and their use for the settlement of people in a specific cultural and social class is increasing day by day. The outer spaces and open spaces of residential complexes are the boundary between urban public spaces and private spaces in residential complexes and are the place of communication and interaction between people and the surrounding environment. With the aim of extracting the components of solitude that are involved with signs, this research tries to explain the contribution of each one in creating this category. Therefore, the research method in this research is a combination of nested type with analytical weighting in the quantitative part. Therefore, in this research, in the qualitative part, the components that are relevant to the scope of the study are refined with a semi-structured interview. In order to reduce the diverse data obtained from the interview, by using grand theory techniques, they are coded in the Atlasti software. In the quantitative section, after compiling the questionnaire from the obtained components and distributing it among the space users, the results are entered into the Originpro software and analyzed with inferential statistics. Sampling in the qualitative section is done with the Delphi panel in three phases and by specifying Kendall's coefficient; And in the quantitative section, the upper limit of Morgan's table is defined as 384 people. The results show that based on the obtained results, it was determined that "increasing the sense of ownership of the residents towards the public space", "clarity of the boundaries between public and private areas" and "public and private hierarchy" with a value of (1.000) have the greatest effect in The creation of solitude in the open spaces of the residential complexes of Hamadan city is the least related to the exclusive use of public and semi-public spaces by the people of the residential complexes with a value of (0.395).

47 - Analyzing the physical components of the interspace and the Biophilic architecture of a residential complex in the metropolis of Isfahan (case example: Zaytoun residential complex)
zohreh pooretesami mahdiye moeini mansoor nikpourBiophilic architecture, which is referred to as biophilic architecture, and the construction of interstitial space in residential complexes in Iran in the current era, is facing many challenges and what is being built;In order to benefit from the principles of biophilic MoreBiophilic architecture, which is referred to as biophilic architecture, and the construction of interstitial space in residential complexes in Iran in the current era, is facing many challenges and what is being built;In order to benefit from the principles of biophilic architecture,which leads to the improvement of the interaction between humans and the environment,it is not considered.At the same time, observing the principles of biophilic architecture(partial interaction between humans and the environment) is one of the most obvious characteristics of improving the architecture of interstitial spaces in the external environments located between the blocks of residential complexes in Iran,which can bring peace of mind and subsequent psychological restoration of the residents. Interstitial space is a space that is constantly It is on the move and not necessarily a place in itself with a built-in boundary. Also,this space becomes a stable place in a geometry with complex inter-relationships, a place where the surrounding geometry inhales and exhales, and the architecture of this space absorbs everything it can use to build it. As the basis of spatial hierarchy, the interstitial space has had a special place in the structure of historical residential architecture in Iran. Nowadays, due to the destruction of the residential architecture structure, the position of the intermediate arena has also suffered from deficiencies. The lack of an intermediate arena has caused many psychological and social anomalies in the structure of today's residential architecture. Meanwhile, unfortunately, nowadays,in the construction of interstitial physical space in neighboring residential environments, we witness the forgetting of the principles and standards of biophilic architecture, which in turn could calm or restore the mentality and spirit of the residents. At the same time, biophilic architecture, which should be induced through creating the body of buildings in residential environments; Remaining unknown and continuous between the natural and building environments, and along with that the interaction between man and nature and the effect of nature on the human psyche, has been damaged and gradually goes into oblivion. Therefore, biophilic architecture can promote the relative understanding of the evolution of the human body and mind and its relationship with nature. However, paying attention to biophilic architecture in the design principles of the interstitial space in general can lead to the improvement of human life. Because the elements of nature, by being placed in the interspace outside the residential blocks, in addition to reducing stress and creating a positive mood in the users, they bring the elements in these spaces closer to each other and thus strengthen the bond between man and nature. Therefore, the aim of the present research is to investigate the interspace in the residential complex of Zeytoun Isfahan based on the approach of bio-oriented architecture. The question is, what is the relationship between the physical components (materials, geometry, height of neighboring buildings and dimensions) of the interspace of Zeytoun in Isfahan city residential complex with bio-oriented architecture from the residents' point of view? Analytical and using the method of logical reasoning along with the method of collecting information in the form of library and field studies with the tool of questionnaire and the use of correlation test came to the conclusion that the physical components of the Biophilic interspace in the residential complex of Zeytoun in the city of Isfahan, (materials, geometry,dimensions,the height of neighboring buildings) in addition to improving the climatic and environmental performance, it has improved the quality of life of the residents and their mental health due to the use of natural systems and processes, and there is a continuous relationship of mutual actions between the physical components of the interspace of the Zeytoun residential complex in the metropolis of Isfahan and Biophilic architecture lies in the direction of improving the relationship between man and the environment, the creation of space and its perception. Also, according to the audience's point of view, the results showed that there is a significant relationship between the physical components (materials, geometry, height of neighboring buildings and the dimensions(length and width)of the interspace with Biophilic architecture from the perspective of the residents in the Zeytoun residential complex with an average significance level of 98%. and the variables have been evaluated positively and in the same direction with each other.

Fatemeh Khodadadi Agh Ghal’e khosro daneshjooHousing is the most comprehensive applied,and social type of architecture.The quality of housing construction has changed significantly in recent decades due to social changes and technological advances. Technology has been one of the factors of transformation in all as MoreHousing is the most comprehensive applied,and social type of architecture.The quality of housing construction has changed significantly in recent decades due to social changes and technological advances. Technology has been one of the factors of transformation in all aspects of post-modern architecture. Today's technology plays a role beyond the structure in architecture. Nowadays, the industrial supply of materials to increase the speed of implementation and reduce costs seems to be inevitable due to the advancement of technology and building construction as an industrial product. In other words, to produce high-quality and cheap housing, many other traditional methods of construction do not meet the existing needs of society. Thus, improving the quality in the production of materials, design, and implementation methods, speeding up the construction process, competition in the advancement of technology, optimal use of the workforce, and the use of new construction technologies are among the most effective components in this industry. Thus, gaining knowledge and information about new construction technology is an urgent need for engineers in the contemporary decade. The need to use construction technologies varies depending on the growth of each society and the use of technology in other industries, and the implementation capabilities of that society. Nowadays, technology has affected the dimensions of human life, so some experts believe that the world will be conquered by technology soon. Human efforts have always been in line with improving life facilities and utilizing normal, cultural, and social conditions. Thus, this study seeks to examine the role of technology in improving the quality of construction in the Berelian residential complex, Jannat Abad, Tehran. The status of technology in architecture causes various viewpoints. However, meeting the needs of users in architecture undoubtedly requires the mastery and use of technology in its various dimensions. Critics believe that the use of technology alone cannot respond to and fulfill all needs. The impact of technology on time, quality, cost, resource consumption, efficiency, and the ultimate achievement, which is associated with the concepts and goals of sustainable architecture, cannot be ignored in this regard. Modern and advanced technologies play a fundamental role in the development of contemporary urban architecture. In this regard, it is possible to improve the quality of construction based on the three Vitruvian principles of "static" "beauty"and "utility" architecture by using new technologies in the housing construction industry.The present study identified the components of technology affecting the improvement of construction quality in the Berelian residential complex, Jannat Abad, Tehran. It uses a fuzzy approach. It is applied in terms of aim and descriptive and analytical in terms of method. It is also considered a survey (questionnaire). In this study, data were collected using the library method, and some components were extracted through reasoning in the form of a peer-to-peer matching table between the two areas considered in the article by using the views of professors who are familiar with these areas.The analysis was done through the parametric test that compares the means in paired samples with the AHP model. The results revealed that the components of durability and useful life, the ability to control quality, reduce material waste and waste production during construction, ease of maintenance and repair, safety against fire, reduction of on-site construction operationssafety and high speed of construction, mechanization, and flexibility are among the most important components Also visual and functional harmony in the beauty part is a key component in evaluating the quality of housing construction. Given what was stated, materials are one of the significant components affecting the construction of housing Finally among the identified components, ease of maintenance and repairs, durability and useful life visual and functional harmony, and diversity (no restrictions in design) were among the influential components It can be stated that observing the effective components of technology can be useful and effective for improving the defects and reducing possible errors in the quality of construction in the residential complex, and the construction of industrial housing can be institutionalized as a culture in the country.Thus, the policy of development of building industrialization will be one of the effective and facilitating methods to solve the housing problem in Iran. Also, the industrialization of the building will reduce the cost of construction and the cost of buying housing. Manuscript profile -

The statistical population of the research includes the residents of Sepidar residential complex in Urmia and structural equations with SPSS and AMOS software were used to analyze the data. It is claimed that the enhancement of creativity in children,do not only occur through educational programs, but also flexible spaces in which some items of natural elements such as water, sand, light, etc., exist in the context, can lead to this promotion.The creation of vegetation,utilizing a variety of colors, exposing children to the space for active involvement, teamwork, etc.play a crucial role in stimulating the sense of curiosity and ultimately the promotion of creativity in the mentioned sample population. Regarding purpose,the current research is applied in nature in one hand, and on the other hand library techniques and field study techniques such as survey have been utilized for a better understanding of the variables under scrutiny. It is claimed that the current study is a descriptive, survey-based approach in terms of the data analysis procedure. Following an investigation of the experts’ opinions about children and the practical ways of improving their creativity, the researcher made use of field observation for children’s behavior in the open spaces and provided adaptable questionnaire for children and their parents. And ultimately some criteria and principles are suggested to promote the quality of the open spaces in residential complexes to empower the designers to boost creativity in children. To reach this goal, the main scope of the research include landscaping, the psychology of creativity and child’s growth. The component of children's participation is the most effective in developing children's creativity. And then the flexibility of space, sense of security, natural elements, gender and color have been the most effective components in the growth and development of children's creativity.

This issue is so important that today attention to the nature and green spaces of the city as well as the implementation of policies which release the people of the cities from problems such as isolation and cause residents to relate to each other, are of the most important tasks of the urban institutions and this is an important indicator for improving the life quality and community development. In this research, two residential complexes of Ekbatan in Tehran and Pardisan in Qom have been selected as the case study and the purpose of this study is to evaluate the role of nature on neighborhood relations in these two residential complexes. The method is descriptive – analytical and the results of the study showed that concerning the neighborhood relations, Ekbatan Residential Complex score was 3.08 and the score of Pardisan Residential Complex was 2.66. Also, in evaluating the satisfaction of nature and green spaces, Ekbatan and Pardisan scores were 3.81 and 2.61 respectively. In this survey, regarding the relationship between the two variables of nature with neighboring interactions, the Pearson Correlation test results showed a positive and significant correlation between these two variables, so that the overall coefficiency estimate was 0.669. This value was found in Ekbatan to be 0.684 and in Pardisan 0.516, which indicates a stronger relationship between these two variables in Ekbatan Residential Complex. Finally, in assessing the impact of nature and green spaces on neighborhood interactions in residential complexes, the coefficient of determination for Ekbatan and Pardisan were 0.384 and 0.717 respectively.

This research aims to evaluate the quality of life to achieve the principles of social sustainability design of residential complexes. The present study is quantitative in terms of approach. The research method is quantitative and case sample method. A questionnaire was used to collect information. Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the questionnaires was 0.843 statistical population of the present study is the residents of the Ghadir Arak residential complex. The sample size was calculated using Cochran's formula of 280 people. The data were analyzed using Spss software and Kolmogorov Smirnov parametric statistical tests, Pearson correlation about the measurement, and evaluation of the quality of life indicators. The findings of the present research indicate that the quality of life in residential complexes is directly related to the participation of residents in socio-cultural contexts, a sense of belonging to mental dimensions, and physical and environmental contexts to objective dimensions. Therefore, the quality of life in the mental, social and cultural dimensions and sense of belonging is higher than in the objective, physical, and environmental dimensions. Components such as socio-cultural, physical, environmental, and sense of belonging are reliable tools for measuring the quality of life. According to the lifestyle of citizens, they can be used to achieve the principles of social sustainability design in residential complexes such as the Ghadir Arak Complex Manuscript profile -

This research seeks to find an answer to this question: How is the prioritization of types of residential complex in terms of privacy according to the parameters affecting privacy? On the other hand, in the current research, different types of residential complexes create a different amount of privacy in the space of the residential complex in terms of physical structure, which has not been accurately identified. The purpose of this research is to evaluate privacy in different types of single, peripheral, parallel, and mixed residential complexes, which is done by using opinions experts by snowball sampling method and using the Electra model. In this method, quantitative indicators were used and their ranking was obtained by pairwise comparisons between options, and multi-indicator problems were expressed contractually with a set of options, indicators and superior values. In the end, it is worth mentioning that the dominance of a single species is the highest priority in terms of the weight of all indicators. Manuscript profile -

In recent years, special attention has been paid to biophilic residential architecture in the field of architecture and tries to pay more attention to the link between architecture and nature. Due to gaps in existing knowledge, abundant evidence of existing shortcomings and approaching the goal, this article reviews the research background in biophilic architecture by highlighting definitions, dimensions, indicators and solutions to identify the characteristics of residential biophilic architecture. Biophilic architecture as well as desirable intermediaries each have indices and characteristics that overlap identification of these two axes can lead to the identification of biophilic interspace characteristics. For this purpose, in the first step, we have tried to identify and categorize the variables affecting biophilic architecture by examining the latest scientific information and in the next step, by systematic review method based on four-step model by editing. This strategy of searching articles and search path was performed with the words "biophilic principles", "efficiency of interstitial spaces", "residential biophilic collections", "biophilic design", "biophilic landscape" in valid citation databases.
