The current research has analyzed the relationship between nature and architecture with a semiotic approach based on the originality of meaning, due to the fact that nowadays the appearance and form of architectural works have seen tremendous changes; Therefore, this is the result of a kind of human attitude towards nature and, in parallel, towards buildings. Signs provide a representation of the world, sometimes with a symbolic representation. During the design process, the architect is always faced with the problem of turning a concept into an architectural body. In fact, architecture always implies a concept, so to understand the meaning that the architectural building is erected to manifest; It is necessary to understand the primary concept that created it through understanding the relationship between the concept, as "sign" and architecture as "signified", through the knowledge of semiotics. So, understanding the difference between the types of signs and their degrees in architecture helps us to know how to use semiotics for the architectural embodiment of the desired concepts based on them and the existing architectural examples. Architecture as a meaning is a reflection of ideas and values that to understand and receive its meanings, one should seek help from the science of signs, and since this science originates from philosophy, then it should be read from a philosophical point of view. be decoded. For the first time, it was possible to recognize the influence of semiotic design in architecture because this year the book (Learn from Las Vegas) was published by Robert Venturi and his colleagues. In this book, he dealt more with the sociological and populist critique of modernism, and the concepts and semiotics were a suitable methodological support and background for it. Venturi and his colleagues are inspired by traditions and local and typical building, and in Las Vegas they discover and believe in the dynamic interplay between signs and textures. In fact, the architectural text encodes and its metatext opens, and this is important for hermeneutics. Basically, hypertext is the meaning created by the reader (viewer). Therefore, it can be said that according to each reader (viewer), metatext is available. Each work creates its own world of special signs and creates its own meaning, and therefore it is an ambiguous reality. In fact, every sign in the mind of the audience is a case of interpretation, and therefore we are always faced with different interpretations of every work of art. It seems that the art of Iranian architecture was formed with the principles of semiotics, especially based on the originality of meaning. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to prove the existence of signs based on the originality of meaning in Iranian architecture. In order to achieve this, a basic question is raised that why is it necessary to study Iranian architecture and nature and on what basis are they analyzed from the semiotic point of view. The research method of this article is of the theoretical type, which used the descriptive-analytical and historical method with qualitative variables and logical and philosophical reasoning in the data collection stage. The data collection tool used in the theoretical foundations section was library studies, which included the use of books, magazines, articles, publications, research projects, and internet searches. The purpose of using these methods is to use the latest available information related to the subject under study. In the first step of this research, in order to codify the analysis, categories were first made about the generalities of the selected buildings so that by analyzing them, the concepts and signs used in them can be obtained, and then by coding and primary classification, Concepts are extracted at three levels: explicit meanings, implicit meanings and symbolic meanings. to compile analyses; The generalities and structures of the studied building have been made in the five systems of text creation and by analyzing them, the concepts and signs used in them have been obtained, and then by coding and categorizing the concepts in three semantic levels, explicit, implicit and symbolic; has been extracted. In different eras of Iran's architectural history, we see the construction of works of historical-local value that had semantic approaches. Among these works is the tomb of the Islamic period, which is one of the most important buildings in the field of Islamic culture in Islamic lands, which was built for the public or special people. Contemporary built tombs in different cities are only an imitation of the past and most young designers do not even know the reasons for their physical size, let alone their decorations and details, and not only do they not have sufficient knowledge of semiotics. Rather, with misplaced use and superficial encounters, they also mislead their audience in correctly recognizing symbols and signs and different meanings of the meanings used in famous works of the past. Therefore, in this research, we studied the interaction of nature and architecture in Shah Nematullah Vali Mausoleum in Mahan Kerman, due to the simultaneous presence of a garden and an architectural building, with a semiotic approach based on the originality of meaning, and examined their relationship with the surrounding nature and environment. data to understand the secrets of their builders in that golden age and transfer them to contemporary architecture. Therefore, since the subject under discussion is the study of the interaction of nature and architecture in Iran, the tomb of Shah Nematullah Vali has been chosen because of its suitable conditions for proper coding.The results of the research indicate that the creator or creators of this work have been trying to reflect the aesthetic concepts of their contemporary era in addition to paying attention to the desired functional aspects in the design and at the same time recreate the spiritual concepts in the form of architectural works and also In addition to paying attention to the social and religious needs of users, they should create a magnificent and unique work in their time. So it can be seen that in Iranian architecture, the presence of signs and meanings hidden in them have been used to design buildings.

Ecolinguistics intends to show how language relates with the formation, maintenance or destruction of relationships between humans, other living species and the environment. In this descriptive and critical review, we analyze three important approaches in this field of integrated research including the nature of language, the so-called Haugen approach, the bio-linguistic approach, and finally the ecological discourse approach attributted to Halliday. The analysis of these approaches shows that ecolinguistics is more than just a metaphorical attitude to linguistic communication, it is not just the analysis of texts that are directly about nature, and rather ecolinguistics entails the environmental analysis of discourse. The role of ecolinguistics in children is highly important in forming their adolescent identity making them passionate environmental protectionists.

Basis and Goal:

 This article presents a framework for the presence of nature in architecture based on systems thinking. The main question of this article is how to express the optimal relationship between nature and architecture based on systems thinking.

The research method has a descriptive-analytical and inferential nature, which has been done by the systems thinking method with the help of causal loop diagram.

Explaining a framework for the presence of nature in architecture based on systems thinking makes sense within the human-nature-architecture system. Based on the identification of human, nature and architecture subsystems, the dualities of human-architecture, human-nature and finally nature-architecture were identified as the main relationships in the system.

Results indicate that the framework of the presence of nature in architecture, receives dwelling necessities from the human-architecture relationship and its epistemological goals from the human-nature relationship. Accordingly, during the human-technical-natural process, first, with the help of coexistence with nature in the form of understanding the capabilities of the natural context in the ecosystem-based epistemological system, interaction with the environment is realized. In the next step, using the approach of modeling nature in the form of learning from it and spatial and visual integration with nature leads to the formation of spatial and formal qualities in the body of architecture. All approaches in the epistemological structure of the approach of completing nature, with the aim of promoting human and nature in the direction of human goals and needs, lead to the realization of the matter of dwelling.

Increasing the number of tourists with the high ecological potential of a region can have devastating and irreversible effects on the host or destination community or lead to a decrease in the quality of the tourism experience. Ethical codes also have their own complexities and must be carefully considered. If this is not taken into the account, environmental and social problems will plague society and if the environment is destroyed, the greatest harm is to man himself, who is in fact in conflict with sustainable development. Conservation means both the care and rational use of natural resources; therefore, ecotourism is sustainable that responds to the needs of today's generation and also considers the needs of future generations. The present study is an applied research that, considering the cases mentioned, has investigated the environmental effects of ecotourism in South Khorasan province and the position of environmental education in reducing its destructive effects. This means that it covers all the needs of the host and host community and benefits both parties. The method of review is through observation, interview and review of available documents, which first refers to the tourism potentials of this province as well as the problems that have been encountered due to the development of ecotourism. Finally, environmental education has been discussed as the best and most effective way to inform and create a sense of responsibility among the community, especially those who enter it with the aim of protecting nature.

In modern houses connection to nature is faded out and their habitats are approaching towards degrading their surrounding environment. This research investigates the ways by which we connect to nature as one of the principles of environmentally sustainable development in housing and also seeks to answer the questions that what the characteristics of nature-compatible housing are in order to fulfill the objectives of environmental sustainability.

Data collection was conducted through library resources, the analysis of qualitative and descriptive study was conducted to analyze their content. In this regard the components, principles and key sentences bases of the three spheres of sustainability, nature and housing were extracted. After that components and points obtained were classified. Then, in order to achieve the aimed housing characteristics, the components correlation to each other and their implementation was analyzed by authors. Eventually a list of measures necessary to achieve these characteristics was finalized.

the results indicate that it is necessary to considering measures to communicate directly with nature, restoring the natural environment and conserving natural resources, reducing energy consumption and increasing exposure to sunlight, reducing environmental pollution, harmonizing form-shape of the building with the environment and appropriate materials selection and their implementation in the home design process one.

It seems by considering the constant presence of nature in the organization of housing spaces, preservation of existing vegetation, respecting the natural shape of the site and so on is able to design housing which maintains and strengthens the relationship between people and nature. This in turn falls in line with the principles of environmental sustainability.

In the traditional architecture, buildings had close relationships with the surrounding environment, and intimacy to the nature had deep roots in Iranian’s culture. Traditional Bazaars were one of the most important parts of a city and had great impacts on people's social lives and architecture. Due to the expansion of cities, the concept of bazaar has changed and replaced by distributed spaces called shopping centers.

In this study, the shortcomings of the current bazaars, and the effects of traditional architecture and organic concept were examined from the perspective of clients and visitors. Descriptive-analytic survey was conducted and questionnaires were distributed randomly among 272 visitors in Rey bazaar, Tajrish traditional bazaar, Almas shopping center, and Tirazheh shopping mall. To evaluate the hypothesis, the single variable T-test and the F-test were applied.

The results indicate that, synthetizing the concept of organic architecture and Iranian traditional architecture in the current shopping malls could meet the users’ expectation.

Exposing the apparent similarity of the environment and an element is not sufficient for users. So, a special attention is required for the psychological aspects received by the visitors.

There exist multiple definitions from different viewpoints regarding the concept of ecotourism or nature tourism at global level which are largely controversial among different countries. These definitions encompass different axes of ecotourism, Although many of th. Now a day, this concept encounters educational, cultural, and administrative challenges. With regard to the fact that numerous verses in Koran refer to this concept, undoubtedly the most complete sense of ecotourism can be inferred from the Holy Koran. Reflection on Quranic verses shows that the view of Holy Quran on this issue is a holistic one. In this article has been tried to resolve the ecotourism paradigm in the world today through the introduction of the concept of Koranic ecotourism and provide a new attitude for the experts in this area so help to their performance in this area.

The importance of forests in the life of living beings (humans) has convinced the researchers to take steps towards environmental sustainability as one of the main parameters. Forest has such an impact on the environment and life of people that makes the living conditions in that area easier. The wood obtained from trees is one of the most important forest products and due to the economic importance has led to indiscriminate felling of trees. This is resulted in reduced area of forests in the north of the country. In recent years, several floods in northern parts of the country are examples of a natural phenomenon caused by the destruction of forests. Considering the increasing use of wood and the fact that researchers offer new wooden products every day, the solutions are suggested in this research. These suggestions include the production of wood products with proper mechanical strength following the principles of wood industry engineering, so that the durability of the resulting products will be improved dramatically. The achievement of this research is the optimal use of forests and will help to preserve the nature of the country. In this regard, adding people's information about wood and its various physical and mechanical properties will enable people to buy consciously and get the right product at the right price. Finally, in current study, some physical and mechanical properties of wood as well as their application in industry were investigated.

Almost three decades ecological revolution has begun; In fact, this revolution took place in the 1960s, at this time of only economic criteria were measured and damage caused to environment and natural resources does not count, but the spread of environmental issues in the world especially Europe, sustainable development issues were proposed. The new paradigm called sustainable development to deal with patterns of production, distribution and consumption incompatible with the nature paid. Rupture human relation to nature, as a result of technology development – knowing or unknowing – in many cases leading to imbalance in the environment and has been the manifestation of various environmental destruction. However, before the development of modern industry, dominated by the nature of human life, much more than the human domination of nature. Therefore were scientists and environmental groups, order to balance of the relationship between man and his natural environment and reconciliation between modern man and nature, human and nature coordination and alignment, and an end to the crisis of the century proposed different perspectives. Among these Eco villages in the world are distributed and enjoyed greater popularity. This study aimed to identify and survey the various components of their Eco villages as well the criteria and characteristics of this type of settlements. For recognize the characteristics of these types of settlements referred to documentary method and websites. The most important feathers of Eco villages dimensions of sustainable development and particular attention to its ecological dimension.

Environmental degradation all over the world is one of the three major concerns of the human being. Depletion of fresh water sources on earth, ozone layer depletion, soil degradation, intensive farming, climate change and temperature increase, biodiversity loss, population increase, poverty, pollution, extinction of rare species, biological extinction and endangered species are the main environmental issues of our planet. A man-made disaster or technological hazard that has come to fruition, resulting in an event of substantial extent causing significant physical damage or destruction, loss of life, or drastic change to the environment. It is a phenomenon that disasters can cause damage to life, property and destroy the economic, social and cultural life of people. Some of the major world environmental disasters are mentioned in this paper. According to Islam, the absolute owner of the nature and creatures are God, and man is the vicegerent of God on the earth. Acting as a good trustee requires man to leave a clean and healthy environment for future generations. According to Quranic versus and narrations, man is responsible for everything, and this rule denotes that man has responsibility for developing and improving the earth and observing the rights of other creatures.

Today, theoretical sciences are practiced through experimental and practical activities. In other words, sciences such as physics and biology, which are derived from nature, have turned into fundamental bases for the study of other subjects such as arts and architecture.Taking architectural ideas out of natural features is being widely used in modern architect's works (such as the Fractal and Revolutionary ideas), so a need arises here to find some media to generalize scientific details in different fields and apply them to the details in architecture.To find these intermediaries, the involved process is moving from instances to the generalities to reflect them in architectural instances of expressing natural features directly in the architectural forms which must be avoided and instead we should observe general rules of nature and then reflect them in the architecture. The process of 'from slight to whole and from whole to slight' or the so-called 'architectural creativity' will result in prominent and lasting works in our provided architecture that they are derived from natural observations. The subject-matter has been dealt with in this article. The article consists three major parts as fallows.• A study of religious, mystical and functional aspects, as well as the philosophy of nature. • Looking for some principles governing natural phenomenon which could be useful in generating forms. • A study of natural forms for architects and designers.
