Conventional wisdom, as an interdisciplinary concept, plays a significant role in shaping daily behavior and the long-term use of spaces, particularly in residential complexes. Despite its importance, there has been limited research in architecture that has addressed and explored the relationship between conventional wisdom and architecture, as well as its impact on the use and formation of spaces. The main problem addressed in this paper is the need to understand the relation between conventional wisdom and architecture, and how conventional wisdom affects the use and formation of spaces within residential complexes. The research method employed in this paper is both quantitative and qualitative, with data being analyzed using interpretative-analytical techniques. Data collection was carried out through observations and interviews. Through a review of the literature, the research model was proposed by parameters of rationality, collective cognition, and reality with four minor dimensions including social, cultural, functional, and physical. The study results indicate a significant relationship between architecture and conventional wisdom in residential complexes, particularly in the social and physical dimensions. The findings highlight the importance of public spaces as micro-components of the social dimension, and emphasizing the need for compliance with proportions, legibility of form, and visual diversity as part of the physical dimensions. Conclusions emphasizes the importance of considering conventional wisdom in architectural design in residential complexes. Also, among the others, social and physical dimension by legible public places and visual diversity has main role of relation between conventional wisdom and architecture. These conclusions can be utilized by designers and researchers working in residential complexes to understand better the impact of conventional wisdom on architectural design and the use of public spaces within these complexes.

Consideration of conventional wisdom as one of the significant and efficient factors in the experimental relation of human-environment is of the issues which have been less tackled with architectural research and processes. 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.
