One problem of kindergartens in Iran is the lack of attention to the design of space based on the principles of aesthetics and nurturing creativity, and not giving priority to designing the educational spaces in compliance with design standards, which unfortunately leads to creating environments unsuitable for children's needs. The ongoing study is qualitatively oriented, focusing on outcomes, primary goals, and responses to inquiries. Consequently, analytical, perceptual, and categorized depictions emerged from the gathered data. The data collection approach is descriptive and library-based. This current research is practical in its objectives and qualitative in data nature. Information gathering is library-centric. The research follows a descriptive-analytical methodology.Children learn through interaction with the physical and social environment. Architecture is a part of the education program, and educational-formal architecture is a building whose order and planning are derived from an educational approach that involves spaces for themselves and in education. Because of its interdisciplinary nature, architecture incorporates topics like cognitive science that can assist us in reaching these objectives. In the educational approach, indoor spaces act as a coach. Order, structure, and transparency are the characteristics of spaces. Surveys show that the presented aesthetic diversity provides the conditions for learning with all senses, and, as a result, every child in educational spaces sees their work as documentation or displayed images.  The category of environment in general, as well as environmental causes in particular, are among those that are important in terms of their influence and role on the child's behavior and psyche. The environment, as the basis of the child's activity and life, and the impact of the environmental conditions on the child is unavoidable. However, the importance of this matter, which is often forgotten amid modern life, construction, and industrialization, is the neglect of the impact of the environment on children's psyche and habits, which causes anxiety and worry in many cases. Due to its interdisciplinarity, the architecture industry uses categories such as cognitive sciences, social sciences, humanities, and art in its content. Ultimately, not only the final result of design but also the process of design and architecture should be studied and researched. The distance between the hidden space, as the intellectual and ideal environment of the designer, and the current environment, as the space that is built and used, is very different. If the ideal space is transformed into a physical structure, the social, cultural, and psychological well-being of the space's users must be carefully considered. Objectivity and introspection in design, the impact of the physical environment on children's creativity, and leveraging these connections are crucial focal points. Regrettably, the mindset of constructing for the sake of construction without regard for life neglects these vital considerations. Hence, research in this domain is crucial and indispensable.  To address these inquiries, "How can the architectural environment and the physical body be molded according to the needs and traits that impact the development and creativity of children to maximize their flourishing?" Additionally, "How does architectural space influence the sense of belonging and creative thinking in children?"; Drawing on concepts from figures such as Eric Berne's "Reciprocal Behavior Analysis" and Piaget's "Child Psychology" can be highly beneficial. In the following, we will discuss the questions of this research: "Which factors in the interior design of the kindergarten space can lead to the promotion of imagination, play, and curiosity of the child? "By responding to these questions, the goal is to create environments that foster children's development by leveraging the potential of the surroundings to encourage creativity.The research has been compiled using an analytical-descriptive method and library techniques, with explanations and organization provided. Case examples have been included to aid in understanding the topic. The researcher's goals have included focusing on works to facilitate comprehension, as well as conducting case studies and analysis.

This study investigates the environmental factors affecting the treatment process, increasing the recovery quality, and facilitating the patients’ return to the normal life cycle.

The intensification of environmental stresses makes the hospital’s environment stressful and non-supportive. Designing a Supportive Therapist Environment (STE) could facilitate the recovery process and improve the patients’ life quality during treatment procedures in inpatient wards.

To this goal an exploratory approach was used.The qualitative data were collected by unstructured interviewing six medical specialists and six architecture professors. A questionnaire was distributed among 156 patients to examine the relationship between environmental factors and the possible effect of treatment quality in a surgical ward, Tabriz hospital, Iran.The conditional logistic regression was used to estimate this association.

Findings showed a significant relationship between the environmental components and the treatment process quality. That is, the results confirmed positive effects of the architectural interventions on the patients’ sense of calmness, security, and return to life.

This study emphasizes on all dimensions including physical, social and semantic, particularly the ceiling as a main factor in controlling stress and maintaining the calmness.STE model can enhance patient satisfaction, and help hospitals create suitable conditions for patients in inpatient wards. To improve the treatment quality, it is necessary to consider mental, semantic, social, and physical components in designing the hospital environments. The study discusses the concepts for understanding the influence of the built environment on human experience, delirium control, treatment process, recovery quality, and return to life cycle.It also introduces further directions for future research.

The city of Tehran, as the capital of Iran, has been undergoing a significant transformation in terms of modern changes and extensive development in public center design. Commercial complexes are considered as common domains for social interactions, communications, and social cognition, reflecting effective urban aspects. However, the neglect of social analysis in the design process may lead to the loss of communication between individuals and public spaces, which can result in undesirable social consequences and psychological and emotional distress within society such as isolation and Social alienation. In this regard, the design and architecture of commercial centers have a prominent role, and further research on the social acceptability of these centers is necessary. The main objective of this comparative research is to examine and compare the influential components of social acceptability based on architectural features in the commercial performance of two different structures, namely traditional market centers and malls. The case studies of this research include the Grand Bazaar of Tehran and Kourosh Mall. This study employs a mixed-method approach, utilizing library research, questionnaires, in-depth interviews, and observations, to investigate the subject both quantitatively and qualitatively. Analysis of the results demonstrates that multi-purpose commercial complexes, through environmental structural factors, possess higher levels of overall acceptability compared to traditional markets, by developing dimensions of greater security. This research contributes to the field of architecture and urban design by highlighting the importance of social analysis in the design process and identifying the influential components of social acceptability in commercial centers.

According to the statistics of the American Psychological Association, secondary depression, which is caused by a physical illness among patients, has been identified as the most common mental disorder. Also, the continuation of stress and anxiety of patients will lead to depression in treatment spaces. Therefore, the environmental conditions of treatment spaces affect controlling and reducing the level of stress and depression of patients. The purpose of this research is to investigate the effective factors in reducing the level of depression of patients from the dominant perspective of patients in hospital design. The research carried out up to now is mostly based on the general examination of physical and environmental dimensions, and a focused study on these dimensions has not been done about environmental psychological pressure and the creation of stress, anxiety, and depression in chronic patients in the design of therapeutic spaces. Considering the needs of a large group of patients, it is necessary to pay more attention to the design of treatment spaces to reduce the level of mental illness and depression of patients.

The current research was conducted using the qualitative-quantitative method and data analysis using confirmatory factor analysis in SPSS software. After the experts' questionnaire was distributed in two stages, the users' questionnaire was compiled. The research community at this stage was the patients admitted to Namazi Hospital, and the sample size was determined to be 200 people using Klein's point of view. So, the research method is summarized in four stages: 1- document content analysis, 2- Delphi survey in two stages, 3- compilation and distribution of user questionnaires, and 4- confirmatory factor analysis.

This research has paid attention to the treatment of depression in hospitalized patients and through appropriate design for these people, it has provided the basis for reducing depression for patients. So, the interpretation of the rotation data matrix and the factor load of each variable shows that seven factors with indicative meanings can be defined from the patient's point of view. The results show that the seven factors of visual perception, naturalism, functionalism, physical safety, logical process, psychological safety, and diversity in hospital design are effective in reducing patients' depression.

The use of artificial light at night in the indoor and outdoor spaces of the hospital, the presence of water, and the planting of different plants in the outdoor space increase the legibility of the space through the dimensions of the space by its function, the variety of light and color are some of the things that are effective in reducing the level of depression. So by using the seven factors of hospital architectural design, it is possible to create the necessary conditions to reduce the level of depression and improve the quality of treatment spaces. Therefore, it is an effective suggestion for treatment and environmental experience through physical characteristics to reduce the level of depression in patients.

The current research seeks to provide effective solutions on the emotional and motivational development of mentally retarded children based on environmental psychology. The aim of this research is to provide a purposeful environment for the mental and educational development of children with mental disabilities by examining the psychology of the educational environment. Mentally retarded children are physically, intellectually, emotionally and behaviorally different from other people and therefore they need special environments to empower their intelligence. In this research; First, By using study -library documents-, the basics of mentally retarded children and their disorders (conditions), as well as the psychology of the children's environment and the factors affecting the environment, have been studied, and then the relationship between the psychology of the environment and the needs of mentally retarded children has been investigated using descriptive-analytical methods. The current research aims to improve the states and disorders of mentally retarded children through the use of optimal environmental design solutions to cause their motivational growth. The findings showed that factors such as color, materials and form in the space can have a significant effect on the intellectual ability of mentally retarded children. So that by using these factors, optimal design solutions are obtained in order to solve each of their disorders and as a result increase their motivation.

Today, the effects of the environment have been proven as one of the most important factors of mental health and human behavior patterns, as well as the effect of nature and green space on reducing stress and daily mental pressures and improving mental health. Researchers believe that nature and green space can be effective in reducing stress and daily mental pressures and improving mental health, and with the ability to deal with anxiety, it can improve mental health. The main goal of this research is to use healing components in the design of landscapes and urban environments and equip these landscapes with healing qualities and provide appropriate solutions to create healing urban landscapes. Considering the current period of time and the existence of social crises and the chaotic economic situation of the society, and the mental injuries caused by it, conducting this research is necessary. This research, which was conducted in order to analyze the related concepts and indicators in Paknejad Boulevard in Tehran, is in the field of applied research in terms of its purpose and scope. In terms of the descriptive-analytical research method and content analysis, it is of a mixed type with a qualitative tendency. First, some important indicators were extracted with library studies, and then field studies such as behavioral mapping were conducted using research tools. Then, using the healing components extracted from the study of related sources, a questionnaire was prepared. To check the validity, the questionnaire was randomly distributed to the users. The answers were analyzed with SPSS statistical analysis software and the data output was presented in the form of graphs and tables. The results of this research show that the effective healing indicators in the design of urban landscapes include things such as the presence of water, interaction with nature, stimulation of the senses, environmental peace, a sense of security in the space, colors, pleasant smells and pleasant sounds. Finally, strategic actions and appropriate solutions were presented by analyzing the concepts and effective healing indicators that are considered vital for designing a healing urban landscape.

According to the evidence, the universal tendency of human society towards communication with other organisms and presence in natural environments as the first and fundamental platform of life has been documented. The question of whether such attraction with such universality is rooted in the inherent nature of mankind (especially through architecture) has provoked many theoretical discussions in this field. These theories believe in the instinctive and inherent connection of humans to the environment and natural factors. In other words, such tension is considered common among all human beings regardless of time and place, age, gender and race. Among the debates about the tendency of human nature towards the manifestations of life, is the hypothesis of "loving life" (biophilia). The research method is "descriptive-analytical" that has used data collection tools including library and documentary studies. Also, the "logical reasoning" method has been used in recovering the conceptual model. The findings of the present research show that the value of direct and sustainable experience of environmental systems and active interaction with them in the everyday living places of citizens is the basis for addressing nature-friendliness in the field of urban spaces and architecture. Become Therefore, urban spaces and architecture should be presented as valuable arenas for communication with natural elements and systems by urban communities. At the end, the landscape model of biophilic architecture is mentioned in creating and strengthening the sense of nature-friendliness in architecture with an emphasis on the ecological theory of perception.

Development of many human abilities and aspects including creativity begins in the childhood. As children put imagination into action at early childhood ages and they are influenced by the surroundings, designing proper social spaces such as kindergartens for them is of great importance. On the other hand, with the proper use of environmental factors such as color, the design of kindergarten as a children's social space can be carried out in an appropriate method. The purpose of this study is to consider the design ideals, based on attention to children's creativity in kindergartens and child centers. By studying, the ideas related to the design of children spaces and the effects of color on them, and analyzing the factors such as color on children; it is possible to create a space for them to increase their motivation and creativity. The research method of this study is qualitative in a descriptive and analytical manner with a statistical population consisting of 120 children aged 2-5years who were randomly selected from six kindergartens in Tehran. Data are collected by analyzing case studies of successful kindergartens in Iran and other countries, and visual questionnaires for children. Results indicate that color is one of the effective parameters that the reasonable using of it in kindergarten space can provide a suitable platform for children's creativity to achieve.

Generative design and performance modeling for relationships between urban built forms, sky opening, solar radiation and energy Office spaces are the living places of employees, the environment where each person spends his most energetic waking hours. Therefore, the role of environmental factors in the quality of office space in the long term has a significant impact on employee satisfaction. The main purpose of the research is to investigate the role of environmental factors that create silence in employees' satisfaction with the office space. This research has an applied purpose and is a survey in terms of the nature of the method, and in terms of data analysis, it is descriptive and analytical. The statistical population of the employees of Kermanshah Engineering System Organization is 72 people, which is a quota systematic random sampling type. Information was collected through a questionnaire with a Likert scale. The validity of the questionnaire has been measured based on content validity and it has been approved by professors and experts in architecture and environmental psychology, and its reliability has been confirmed as 0.718 through Cronbach's alpha method. Data analysis was done through T-tests and regression and factor analysis and regression with Spss, Lisrel software. Through the confirmatory factor analysis test, the role of environmental factors that create privacy in employees' satisfaction with the office space were identified and confirmed with a factor loading of 0.4. It was determined by the regression test and the adjusted coefficient of determination; the research indicators predict 53% of the variance of employee satisfaction in the office environment and based on the regression test; The environmental component has the highest effect on employee satisfaction (beta=0.779). Research findings show that the physical, social, environmental, functional and individual components; They have a positive effect on employee satisfaction in the office environment. It can be concluded that by improving each of these environmental components, the creator of solitude; Employee satisfaction increases in the office environment. According to the findings, satisfaction is the result of a perception and evaluation process that has a hierarchical nature. Therefore, the objective components affect people's perception and mentality, and their subjective criteria cause satisfaction.

Artificial intelligence is an evolving technology that has drawn great economic and social benefits for the future. This technology has the capacity to create a revolution in the way we live, work, learn, discover and interact. But its use in architecture has received less attention. The aim of this research is to identify the characteristics of the belonging architectural space by examining the theoretical foundations of environmental psychology, and then by examining a case study, the effect of the use of artificial intelligence in the creation of the belonging architectural space is examined from a formal aspect. The research method in this research is descriptive-analytical and of a qualitative type, which was done by studying library sources and then analyzing the data in a logical way. The research tool in this research is the Midjourney artificial intelligence, which has been introduced for some time in the field of creating artistic images from input words and has been the focus of various artists and architects. Finally, we can conclude that it is true that we are dealing with conceptual designs that will not become reality in the near future, but they can have a positive impact on the creativity of architects and create a future that most people cannot imagine today. The use of these images in creating belonging spaces is only one example of the use of artificial intelligence in the architectural design process and can be an inspiration for architectural researchers in various fields

In recent decades, environmental psychology has been accepted as the basic knowledge of human-environment studies in many interdisciplinary fields, including architecture and urban planning. The present study aims to generally introduce environmental psychology and show how the studies in this field have been developed and what the most popular research topics and approaches are in this field. To this end, the present research follows two main paths. The first path includes the bibliometric analysis of the articles indexed in the Scopus database between 1972 and 2022, which included the keyword "environmental psychology", and the second path includes the content analysis of 40 most cited articles (out of the abovementioned articles). The analyses were carried out by asking key people and sources and investigating major research areas, the importance, and priority of topics, research approaches, and research examples. The results indicate that environmental psychology research can be classified into four main subject clusters including "sustainability", "place", "mental health", and "consumer behavior". Moreover, behavioral and cognitive approaches were identified as the most important and widely used psychological approaches in analyzing human-environment relations. Most studies have been conducted in urban spaces, followed by commercial, residential, educational, and work environments, respectively. These studies have been carried out on various scales, from macro scales such as planning to micro scales such as interior design. A significant number of studies have focused on human perception and evaluation of environmental qualities and their results such as satisfaction and place preference. The health area has been raised in this field in recent decades and is still considered a growing area. The issue of place attachment has been raised as one of the issues receiving researchers' attention, with continuous growth throughout the studied period.

"Urban Dyslexia" is a new concept to return to the human mind in the process of designing the city. This concept, as a mental phenomenon, is mainly semantic-social in nature and is manifested in the behavioral patterns of citizens. Urban Dyslexia is a kind of perceptual-behavioral disorder of citizens in interaction with the environment; criteria such as poverty, education, social capital, value changes, sociability, legalism, belonging, indifference, environmental intelligence, alienation, etc., along with the physical and semiotic components of the city, determine the degree of Urban Dyslexia. The most important function of this concept is the awareness of urban experts about the mentality of citizens and is useful in providing action plans for the city. The main objective of this research is to introduce urban dyslexia as a new concept, in the process of exploring the causes of people's disregard for the messages that the city provides as instructions. Many cases of behavioral disorders among citizens have psychosocial roots and do not arise solely from the physical or functional deficiencies of the city. The research method is Sequential-Explanatory Mixed Method. Combination of quantitative and qualitative methods has occurred in the interpretation stage; the research was conducted on a selected sample of residents of Tehran. The research approach is based on social psychology and examines the behavior of citizens by focusing on the theoretical-conceptual framework of the research. Today, in the era of the information revolution, the city has become a vague phenomenon where the relationship of the city's inhabitants does not follow the old rules. The current order that governs cities is derived from the philosophical, cultural and scientific foundations that have developed over the centuries and have confronted cities with a wide variety of equipment, functions, uses, spaces, etc. It is not possible to run such a city with unsystematic and simplistic approaches, and it will be difficult to live in it without a proper understanding of its nature. Many studies by urban planners on creating legibility in urban contexts have not been fruitful; simultaneously with the increase of visual and mental stimuli in urban environments, the importance of legibility as a quality in urban space has increased. There are so many cities that, despite careful design and planning, are still not considered legible by the citizens, and people show that they have not properly understood the concepts of the city by their behavior in the city. This study has explored the causes of illegibility in the city not necessarily in the physical environment, but in the minds and perceptions of citizens; the result of this study is the introduction of a new concept called "urban dyslexia" through which some mental areas of communication disorders between humans and the environment can be identified. The most important function of this concept for urban professionals is to become aware of the mentality and gain a deeper understanding of space users; this concept facilitates the recognition of the audience of decisions and actions in the city and can lead to the optimization of operational solutions.

Human eye cells are stimulated by receiving light and sending appropriate commands to the body's internal glands. Ambient light affects the release of the hormone melatonin, which is responsible for regulating the biological clock of the human body. Also, the highest visual sensitivity of the human eye, based on the eye sensitivity curve, is in the wavelength range of 500 to 600 nm. The aim of this research is to study the effects of colored lights on human health by studying medical texts on the effects of colored light in the field of traditional Iranian architecture. The main question of the research is focused on whether the colored lights resulting from the stained glass windows of Iranian architecture correspond to the human eye sensitivity curve and the circadian rhythm and act to maintain the health of the human eye. The study and research are done in the form of studies and case studies. Also, the correlation method is used to investigate the effect of colored lights in Iranian architecture on health. For this purpose, case samples of Iranian stained glass windows were first selected and their dimensions and geometric shapes were collected. The passing wavelengths of the stained glass were measured and the transmitting wavelength diagrams were compared with the human eye sensitivity curve. The predominant share was calculated based on the percentage of the area of each color and the amount of light passing through each stained glass. The findings of this research prove the compatibility of the light effect from the colored windows of traditional Iranian architecture from two perspectives, compatibility with the eye sensitivity curve and also compatibility with the biological clock of the human body. In the range of 500 to 600 nm, the dominant share of transmitted light was yellow and green, and in the eye sensitivity curve, the maximum vision in this wavelength is yellow and green. In the wavelength of 460 nm, the predominant contribution of the light passing through the windows was a blue color. At this wavelength, the hypothalamus, which secretes the hormone melatonin and regulates the biological clock, is sensitive to blue light.

With industrialization of cities and incorporation of new technologies into modern life, humans have been driven towards sedentary lifestyles, which has, in turn, led to emergence and intensification of dangerous health problems such as obesity, hypertension, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease and … which is followed by increasing reference to therapeutic and educational centers. Architects have introduced environmental psychology as an effective tool to alleviate the anxiety caused by attending educational and therapeutic centers and have investigated the effects of its components on training and recovery of clients. The population of the present study included some educational-therapeutic centers and the required data were collected from relevant library documents and texts. Speaking of methodology, the present research falls into the category of correlational and inductive reasoning studies. The results suggest that incorporation of environmental factors such as nature and green space, light and illumination and scenery into educational-therapeutic environments for the purpose of improving education, empowerment and self-care principles can have positive effects on temperament of clients and consequently create a sense of vitality and belonging ( as the basic premise of the present article) in addition to reducing the disease progression rate and its complications which could in turn contribute to the disease control, this approach can create a sense of peace of mind in clients and help them return to society. Therefore, the results indicate that some architectural design patterns used in educational-therapeutic centers can not only meet some needs of clients, but can provide the ground for their social interactions and create a sense of vitality in them.

Biophilia theory, for the first time by his Edward O. Wilson, a professor of livability at Harvard University, was published in his book in 1984. In fact, he first refers to the inner dependence of human beings on living organisms. From the terminology of terminology, the term Biophilia means "loving life or system of life" and for the first time was used by the forum to explain a cognitive orientation in regard to "the attractiveness of everything that is alive". On the other hand, it seems that the best analysis of human perceptual system in the environment can be related to the finding of environment in the knowledge of environmental psychology and a kind of post - mortem and the nature of human nature and nature (environment). However, cognitive assessment of architectural elements based on ecological attitude can be effective in enhancing the planning and design of housing. This study is based on the fundamental nature and according to nature, cognitive research. The research method is descriptive - analytic which has benefited from data collection tools including library studies. In addition, the method of logical reasoning has been used in retrieving the conceptual model. In line with Meta - analysis, a Meta - analysis of for conclusion of the studies in this relationship and better access to the comprehensive model of architecture of Biophilia architecture is utilized in planning and housing planning.

In the contemporary century, the subject of the relationship between man and the environment and its ability to be translated into the language of environmental design and architecture, has been considered by researchers in this field. In this regard, knowing the characteristics of man and his living environment and how to establish a relationship between these two factors has always been important. One of the problems of engineers is wasting time in not establishing a quick relationship between the designer and the employer for construction. Creating the conditions that can create a suitable environment for communication between the designer and the employer is one of the influential factors for creating a contract.A place that is of interest to the parties to the contract and can create the necessary environmental conditions to improve the sense of belonging to the place in people is one of the important factors in creating favorable conditions for the contract.Space, place and time are very effective in human communication with each other. People have their own behavioral characteristics that differ from other people according to their age, occupation and the group in which they belong.In this study, which was conducted in the university and engineering system of Ilam city, the issue of place to achieve a suitable condition and its impact on people has been studied and part of the studies shows that with increasing presence in the environment, the process of facial recollection Which results in an increase in attachment to that place.This article doubles the relationship between environmental psychology and human behavior, as well as the amount of proof, because you have to consider if you have to relate your psychology to place, time, technology, as well as people's mental and social freedom.

The environment is built for human activities, so planning in the design of the airport passenger terminal must understand and consider the nature of the environment, behavior, needs, and comfort of consumers. This research aims to spread knowledge between the two fields of environmental psychology and Architectural design of airport terminals so that those present at the airport terminal have more interaction with the environment. The sub-goal is to investigate the physical factors and components affecting spatial behavior and to find appropriate strategies to improve the quality of the terminal structure. The research method is applied in terms of purpose, in terms of technique is qualitative research that uses the content analysis method. By analyzing the texts in the fields of environmental psychology and architectural design of airport terminals, design priorities, and the way of human perception of the terminal environment are discovered and solutions are proposed. Data collection is based on documentation. The general steps include identifying the problem, finding the question and purpose, defining the topics, coding and categorizing, analyzing and finding the results, and finally preparing the report. The results showed that in the two-way relationship between the environment and humans, marking enhances the capability of the environment and is important to create a sense of belonging to the terminal, navigation, identify the environment and predict the space when the environment is unfamiliar to the passenger. Combining the physical space and environment responds to human behaviors and supports social interaction in the design of the airport terminal. The right to choose and ensure individual independence is calibrated through guidance and routing. Architectural details are important in guiding humans, and to influence behaviors, different camps, and behavioral locations can be designed and created by changing lighting, type of texture, materials, and changes in the surrounding environment.
