People in a society become sophisticated when they face unfamiliar and unknown social and public challenges and spend part of their daily lives in the public arena. This issue raises the level of solidarity of people and makes the place a familiar one. The spaces we face daily, engage us socially, culturally, and communicatively. And by creating a high environment, they build a sense of peace and improve the spirit of society. (Cattell et al. 2008.) Since the urban space is incomplete and undefinable regardless of its social processes, many thinkers consider the importance of social space more than physical space. Social space is a social product, and every society produces its own space. The centrality of daily social attitudes and actions in space is considered concerning the importance of spatial aspects of the social organization of space. Therefore, the space is at the center of the continuity of historical and social processes and includes the confrontation over meanings and values. Continuous relationships between elements through shape, color, texture, and continuity patterns form the perception of organizational elements in the space and prevent any change and interruption in the space. The existence of sociable public spaces is an important supplement for people's socialization. The sociability of public spaces promotes the spirit of solidarity and individual growth of the city's people, regardless of race, age, socio-economic status, and gender. (Najari and Mehdinejad, 2019) Since urban space is incomplete and incorrect, regardless of its social processes, many thinkers consider the importance of social space more than physical space. Social space is a social product and each society and its production method produces its own space. Therefore, engaging in environmental links with the undeniable part of daily social and individual biological experiences and strong visual communication and spatial visualization causes that even with relocation, one's thinking develops. Living cities all have systems with active and identifiable public spaces for the city, where people can meet, move, and communicate with each other. Physical space, to respond to social needs with the necessary opportunities to acquire social business, and public space in cities, can respond to these needs. But in contemporary societies, the downward trend of audience presence in public spaces and the weakening of the social sense, causes the experts of architecture and urban planning, in connection with the issues of social quality of the place, the amount of audience attraction, and the promotion of social belonging in the public space, researchers. Knowing the factors from the point of view of thinkers to understand the concept of concepts and its effect on the urban body and to investigate how to promote social needs and environmental connection in the Pamenar neighborhood is the main goal of this research. To answer this; The study investigates the interconnectedness of social interaction and the urban body and its environmental connections with a qualitative method of case study and analytical perspective, and by inferring the relevant findings and opinions of social science experts in the urban field to provide a reliable definition of the interaction between the body of the city and social interaction, and finally to explain the criteria for promoting interaction. Social presence is studied in the local plaza as one of the most effective public spaces in cities. The neighborhood studied in this article, Pamenar, is located in the heart of the historical context of Tehran. It is also a residential neighborhood whose residents can play an active role in maintaining and promoting its identity. The research findings indicate that the two primary indicators in the development of social interaction are the physical body and the creation of a social event (activity). The revitalization of this context depends on the development of social interactions. Therefore, the present article considered the two main factors of attention to the urban physical body and the reproduction of social events as endogenous factors in shaping urban revitalization. It examines the origin of the Pamenar revitalization within its context, exploring the historical background as a source of inspiration for generating fresh ideas. According to the particular location and the subject of the research, and based on the research and field investigations and multiple visits to the target site, designing a plaza with a revitalization approach is one of the best options in this place. Furthermore, the architectural significance of plaza design entails the creation of public and urban spaces comprising various elements like amphitheaters, cafes, galleries, bookstores, small vendors, and other necessary public areas. These communal spaces will be meticulously designed, evaluated, and scrutinized.

Problem statement: Following the rapid increase in urban population, numerous social issues have arisen in large cities, leading to a focus on sustainable development concepts. The key to success in revitalizing social sustainability in urban spaces lies in supporting projects that integrate local conditions, and mobilize local skills, and knowledge. Additionally, the heterogeneity and density of cities have reduced cohesion, interaction, and individuals’ attention to each other. Nowadays, there is a shift in perspective from prescriptive approaches to participatory ones, and from architect-centric solutions to problem-solving methods emphasizing community initiatives. Therefore, it is imperative to move from the prescriptive role of architects as constructors and directors of all social affairs towards a role as one of the important social partners.Research

This study aims to address the creation of urban spaces using the Participatory Design Method (PDM) to facilitate social interactions and move towards social sustainability.Research

This study, with its applied nature, adopted a combined approach based on a qualitative strategy relying on field research, using the “Design Workshop” or “Charette” model.

This research focused on presenting the process model of the “Charette Design Workshop” by designing an urban space located in the northern part of Mottahari Street, Shiraz. This process involved a pre-workshop, four main workshops, and an informal interim session, resulting in the design of the aforementioned space. The research findings recommend the necessity of having a pre-workshop to organize the main workshops and establish guidelines to prevent session deviation and straying from the main objectives. The presence of professional designers as leaders in the workshop, with their ability to design and articulate, formed the most important elements of workshop sessions, among other achievements of this research. Providing additional solutions for improving and enhancing participatory design processes is among the outcomes of this research.

Balance of privacy and social interaction is the psychological need of the residents of the apartment units. The lack of such a balance leads to social isolation on the one hand and to the confusion of residents on the other. The types of spatial organization of housing and the factors that shape and influence it have always been discussed by architectural experts and urban planners. The aim of the research is to bring the opinions of experts closer to the views of the people in order to improve the quality of housing. This goal is pursued through the search for a balance between privacy and social interaction in the spatial organization of apartment units. These studies have not shown clear and practical results in relating privacy and social interaction to elements of space organization. The novelty of this research is in studying the balance between privacy and social interaction and paying attention to its impact on the spatial organization of the apartment-residential unit and its elements. The main question is what is the relationship between privacy and social interaction of the types of apartment space organization? What is the significance of such a relationship? And how can this relationship be balanced? A case study is limited to conventional apartment units in Amol city. Conventional apartments are three- to six-story buildings of medium height that have a common staircase and other common areas. The research method is a combination of quantitative and qualitative and was done by completing a questionnaire in a sample of residential apartments in Amol. For this purpose, using the archive of Amol Central Municipality, the residential units were first sorted by area and then the building in terms of space organization. Resibential units, based on existing documents from 2001 to 2018, were classified into twenty types and then into four dominant types. Sample residential units with more than one year of operation were selected. First, 25 questionnaires were distributed among the specialists and based on the values ​​obtained above acceptable, second 30 questionnaires were pre-tested. Cronbach's alpha test was performed to confirm the reliability with SPSS software. The closed-ended and open-ended questions were distributed among the residents in the form of 405 questionnaires. After removing incomplete answers, 384 questionnaires were used for final analysis. Prioritization and ranking were performed by Friedman test. The results showed that the residents of apartment units prefer collective interaction to solitude leading to isolation. Respecting the design arrangements to ensure privacy in the facade, transmitting sound between indoor and outdoor spaces and providing the desired collective interaction is the desire of residents. As a result, the balance between solitude and collective interaction is relative, depending on the spatial organization of the residential units, and changes over time as individuals tend to choose their lifestyle. This tendency can be influenced by life background and adaptation to the spatial organization of new homes .

Methods In the first part, the purpose of identifying and prioritizing vitality indices in academic open spaces was carried out by hierarchical analysis method. The present study was conducted in two phases (AHP) and R factor analysis in SPSS software in a qualitative and quantitative manner. The research population was comprised of the first part of all architectural and urban planning specialists who had open-ended interviews with purposeful sampling and snowball technique with 15 experts. Then, by acquiring the main research priorities from the previous stage, a new questionnaire was developed and randomly clustered by 341 students in Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Urban Development and Civil Engineering at the Iranian University. The data were analyzed using R factor analysis, and the data were analyzed using inferential descriptive statistics.

The results of this research indicate that social, physical, design and psychological dimensions of the environment are influential.

The first part illustrates that the social, physical, design and psychological dimensions of the environment are involved in the design of university open spaces. Also the components of flexibility in human behavior, spatial diversity, the effect of physical comfort on physical comfort, relationship between artificial and formal space with sociable and individual space, human behavior formation with environmental arrays and the presence of nature and lively environment were extracted from the user questionnaire. Was done.

Identifying the factors affecting the quality of urban space is essential because in today's industrial world, people spend most of their time during the day and night in urban environments and the quality of these spaces affects the lives and health of citizens. Vitality in urban space is a factor that can help improve the quality of the environment and the life of urban space users. In this regard, this study examines the factors affecting vitality in Taghbestan Boulevard in Kermanshah by field studies and completing a questionnaire. Findings indicate that 75% of people who use this space consider the boulevard as a lively space. The most important factors affecting vitality in the urban space from the perspective of users of this boulevard are greenery in the environment, the presence of trees and plants, diversity of use, lack of riding and car axes, individual satisfaction with the environment, the amount of people using the street, water levels such as Ponds, public communication spaces, play areas for children, the use of cheerful colors in the environment, the use of appropriate lighting and the absence of abnormal sounds. According to the findings, it is suggested to use various, flexible and changeable urban elements to increase the vitality and presence of people in the space of this street in order to reduce the effect of the day of death and induce vitality in the space. Other solutions are to reduce the role of cars and add pedestrian and bicycle axles along the boulevard. Also, the presence of various uses such as shopping malls, retail stores and leisure centers can make the boulevard more lively.

This study examines the relationship between privacy and interactions together.The results show that the two criteria of border and territory, and interpersonal distances, have the greatest impact on social interactions and the criterion of audio-visual privacy has the least impact on social interactions compared to other components. The results of Friedman ranking test showed that the indicators of physical flexibility, social homogeneity, interpersonal flexibility and spatial planning have the greatest impact on social interactions and the indicators of dimensions, proportions and hierarchy have the least impact on social interactions. Compared to other indicators. The study of the results in sheshsad Dastgah Residential Complex in Mashhad also shows that the designer's attention to the criteria and indicators affecting interactions with an approach to maintaining privacy in the design, has played a significant role in promoting interactions between users and residents of the complex. Which has been considered by the designer more than other criteria.

In residential complexes, securing privacy, in its two main dimensions, namely family privacy and individual privacy, is prioritized as an effective component in ensuring the security and tranquility of residents. In fact, people’s attitudes toward privacy are part of their socialization process. For establishment of social relations, the privacy of individuals and groups in the public must be considered. It is essential to provide a balance between privacy and social interaction in the light of the cultural values of the community. The purpose of this study is to identify and prioritize the indicators of privacy effective on social interactions in a residential complex with 600 apartments in the city of Mashhad, Iran.

Theoretical Framework

Privacy is a process undergone for determining the boundaries between individuals, through which the individual or group monitors how they interact with others (Altman, 2003). Altman (1975) considers personal space and territoriality as the main mechanisms used for achievement of privacy (Lang, 2009: 165). Communication means the ability to transfer human information, thoughts, and behaviors from one person to another. Social interaction is a need that involves actions and emotions such as the sense of belonging and attachment, joining a group, loving, and being approved (Siramkaya, 2017).The factors effective on the promotion of social interactions with the privacy approach include the following:
Physical characteristics,Borders and territories (hierarchy, border clarity, and controllability in the separation of private and public areas),
Interpersonal distances, Audio and visual privacy.

The research method is descriptive-analytical, adopted besides documentary and library methods to identify the components of privacy affecting social interactions. The population examined in the present study consists of the residents of the Sheshsad Dastgah residential complex in Mashhad. The sample size is set to 322 people using Cochran’s formula. A questionnaire is used to collect the required information, and the data are analyzed using the SPSS and PLS software. Confirmatory factor analysis is applied to evaluate the research model and the validity of the questionnaire, along with the one-sample t-test to compare the means and the Friedman ranking test to rank the components.

The findings of the one-sample t-test of the population demonstrated that the mean values of all the components and subcomponents were higher than the obtained averages, and that all the specified components and indicators had relatively large impacts on social interactions (p < 0.05). The mean for the interpersonal distance component was 4.48, that for the boundaries and territories was 4.38, that for the physical characteristics was 4.12, and that for the visual-auditory space was 4.06. The results of the Friedman ranking test also indicated that the components of border and territory and interpersonal distance ranked highest in average, and therefore exhibited the greatest impacts on social interactions. Moreover, physical flexibility, social homogeneity, and interpersonal flexibility exhibited the highest average ranks among the subcomponents and the greatest impacts on social interactions.

As explained in the Methodology section, the SPSS 25 and PLS 3 software were used to analyze the data. The extracted average variance index (AVE) was used to verify the convergent validity. This index measures the amount of variance that a hidden variable gets from its markers, and its value ranges between 0 and 1, where higher values indicate greater convergent validity for the structure. The mean extracted variance, which measured the convergent validity, varied from a minimum of 0.53 for the boundary and a territory to a maximum of 0.70 for the physical characteristics. Since the mean values of extracted variance were close to or greater than 0.50, we could confirm the convergent validity (total validity of each component). Finally, the results demonstrated the validity and reliability of all the components and relevant questions. The effects of the four main criteria of privacy on social interactions in the examined residential complex could be analyzed using the Friedman test, ranking the criteria and the degrees of their impact on social interactions as follows. The findings on the ranking of the privacy criteria with respect to a chi-square value of 226.81 (df = 3) indicated significant relationships with social interactions (P < 0.05), from which it could be inferred that there was a significant difference between the four criteria of privacy affecting social interactions, and the extents and degrees of their impact on social interactions were also found to be different. The results of the Friedman ranking test demonstrated that the border and territory criterion ranked highest in average, and exhibited the greatest effect on social interactions in the residential complex. Shortly after that, there was the criterion of interpersonal distance, with an average rank of 2.97. According to the results, the two criteria of border and territory and individual intermediate distance had the greatest impacts on social interactions, and the criterion of audio-visual privacy affected them less than the others. There were significant differences between the fourteen indicators affecting socialization, the ranks and values of which were also different. The results of the Friedman ranking test demonstrated that physical flexibility ranked highest in average, and was the most important indicator affecting social interactions. The social homogeneity, interpersonal flexibility, and spatial arena sub-components were ranked next, averaging 10.34, 10.20, and 8.82, respectively. According to the findings, the indicators of physical flexibility, social homogeneity, interpersonal flexibility, and spatial arena exhibited the greatest impacts on social interactions, and those of dimensions, proportions, and hierarchy affected them less than the others. The results indicated that the components of territoriality, such as interpersonal distance, physical characteristics, spatial domains, and audio-visual privacy, could be regarded as variables affecting social interactions in the Sheshsad Dastgah residential complex with an approach to maintenance of privacy.

Public spaces have always had a close connection to human beings and created a form of interaction in space that, in turn, has formed social relations and socialized public spaces. Besides, the neglect of and lack of concern for the standards for open public spaces has made them empty and inutile. Therefore, it is necessary to acquire knowledge about the factors developing and improving sociability in open public spaces to revive them on various scales. The present study aims to identify and analyze the factors affecting the quality of public spaces in residential areas and their impact on the interaction between residents. Accordingly, the main purpose of this research is to assess and evaluate the factors interpreting the quality of shared public spaces in terms of sociability; given that this quality is highly effective on the amiability of the environment and the quality of its residents’ lives. The set of effective activities and parameters are significant in environment socialization.

Theoretical Framework:

Theorists have presented models based on the above concept to categorize the quality and sociability of spaces. In this article, conclusions have been made—according to the space theory of John Panther and Counter and Gustavon’s emphasis on meaning and the significance of its interaction with the environment—regarding the idea that the quality of sociable spaces is the consequent of three aspects, each developing one of the triple qualities in the environment: physical, active, and semantic. The latter is of great significance in terms of the improvement made in the sociability between individuals within the environment. For this purpose, a theoretical framework was established to obtain the effective qualitative components of a favorable design of open public spaces, focusing on the potential of sociability in public spaces and entailing the improvement of such environments.

The descriptive-inferential research method was adopted in this article. First, the quality of open public spaces within residential complexes was assessed, and quantitative data were collected and categorized to determine the proportions, criteria, and spectrum of sociable quality in open spaces. The inclusion criteria considered in this study was to be a resident of one of four residential complexes in Municipal District 6 of the city of Shiraz, Iran. The sample size was calculated using the Cochran formula as 122 individuals in each residential complex. The simple random sampling method was used for sampling. The collected data were authenticated by the residents of the residential complexes through the evaluation method of questionnaires. The reliability of the questionnaires was verified through Cranach’s alpha method—with each factor evaluated individually first, followed by the whole questionnaire. The validity coefficient was assumed to be 0.61, and the sample size was determined as 488 of the residents of the four residential complexes, based on the results from the Cochran formula. The results obtained from the questionnaires were used in the statistical test, using the Pearson correlation coefficient to verify the hypotheses of the research, based on the fact that the scale in this study was interval, and the relationship was linear. The data were analyzed using the SPSS software.

The results of this research were focused on the impact of the quality of open public spaces on the emergence of sociable environments in residential complexes in the three physical, active, and semantic dimensions. The study also assessed sociability in residential areas according to the conceptual model, as compared to factors such as security, flexibility, penetrability, activity, sociability, spatial identity, and environmental perception. In the physical dimension, the relationship between physics and sociability was found significant. The most important conclusions made regarding the physical factors in residential complexes emphasized the use of symbols and elements to organize the environment. On the other hand, ease, secure access, and flexible navigation proved effective in the development of interaction between users and the environment, as well as social activity in sociable spaces. In the active and social dimensions, a significant relationship was observed between activity and sociability. The users’ attention to sociable spaces in shared public spaces in residential complexes and social relations and activities conform to the arrangement of open public spaces, appropriate behavior patterns toward the environment, and elements that pertain to environment-fitting activities. Other factors that enhance sociability in these dimensions include accessibility and legibility—especially effective in the active dimension. In the semantic dimension, a significant connection can be seen between sense and sociability. The impact of sociability on the attachment and connection of man to a place is signified through the several forms of connection made by people to the environment. In this dimension, the multiplicity and sequence of spaces are also signified. Consequently, among the three major aspects defining the quality of open public spaces—physical, active, and semantic—the semantic dimension and its relevant components attracted the largest amount of attention from users, and proved to have the greatest impact on sociability in the open spaces between residential complexes. This needs to be included more effectively in the theories of public space design. This study demonstrates how active and physical components affiliate with the concepts and semantics of a place to create a pleasant public space and provide sociability as well.

The findings of this research—providing useful methods for design of open public spaces with an enhanced potential for sociability in the interaction and communication between users—can be decomposed into four branches: creation of active environments, creation of public spaces, association and interaction, and enhancement of mutual understanding with the behaviors of the environment. These findings can improve the quality of open public spaces.Given the hierarchy of human needs and social dimensions, open spaces in residential complexes form the foundation of social life, creating a background for the emergence and growth of creativity, sociability, collective interaction, communication, entertainment, events, and activities—social, economic, and leisure. Hence, open spaces in residential complexes constitute the fundamental element of the building space and the heart of social affairs.

According to Miskawayh’s theory, social interactions governing the society lead to the formation of Iranian-Islamic ethics if they are based on virtue. In contrast, Miskawayh considers the interactions outside of this arena to be inhumane, leading to the cultural and social collapse. In Miskawayh’s view, the ethics-based social interaction is the cause of society’s evolution. The play is also an art that tries to depict the social interactions to exhibit the society based on dramatic action, and if playwrights can move their dramatic works forward based on Iranian-Islamic social interactions, they will create a work with an Iranian identity. The plays that are produced based on the conventional social interaction discover the conceptual basis of the ethics and propose a solution in the heart of their dramatic action to guarantee the implementation of ethics in society and even specify a moderate way so that the younger generation can understand and follow moral values. Miskawayh believes that we can achieve the harmony of the soul with nature using symbolism and social action, and this causes the produced work to be pleasant. This research found that the social action common in society has been manifested a lot in the works by Akbar Radi such that we can call him the most moral Iranian playwright. That is why his plays have Iranian origin and identity. In terms of paradigm, this paper uses “Oful” the work by Akbar Radi as a model.

Schools are the gathering place and places for the social activity of students and like the beating heart, are the centers for all forces, events, and the gathering place of values. They play an important social role in the collective life of students. As a place of communication, the school must have a wide range of qualities to allow people to interact and ultimately promote learning. The purpose of this article is to interpret and analyze the strategies and principles adopted to establish social interaction in school to promote learning by reviewing studies on the sociopetality of space. This is an applied research study in terms of purpose that uses descriptive-analytical methodology. The required data were collected using desk research and a questionnaire. The statistical population consists of a panel of experts, and the samples are randomly selected. The effective social interaction components were then analyzed and prioritized based on the questionnaire indicators using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). The collected questionnaires were analyzed using the Expert Choice software. The results showed that the mental criteria had the highest importance coefficient and the physical criterion had the lowest importance coefficient. On the other hand, the prioritization of sub-indicicators showed that the sub-indicators of "length of stay" belonged to the behavioral criterion, and the sub-indicators of "accessibility of public space", such as class, belonging to the physical criterion, had the highest importance. The reason is that an improvement in these criteria will lead to greater student satisfaction and increased social interaction.

Adoption of strategies such as compact city design and urban intensification are claimed to positively affect the levels of social sustainability within the city. The sense of safety and social interactions within neighborhoods are also important factors affecting residents’ quality of life and community cohesion and sustainability. However, no research has been conducted on the relationship between density and social ties, and contradictory claims are made about the impacts of higher density on social life in residential environments. It has been demonstrated that people’s experience and perception of density could vary by its levels, and is inadequately expressed by any of its measures. Previous research has found that most of the negative associations of density concern the perceptions thereof, and perceived density is correlated with social interactions and the sense of safety in residential environments. The causal nature of the relationship, however, has not been established. Furthermore, the constructed shapes, residential layouts, and hybrid land uses in a neighborhood and the relevant socio-demographic variables have been found in some studies to play important roles in achievement of social sustainability. A physical element known as gatedness is also believed to influence local community relationship networking and the sense of safety. Therefore, one of the most common strategies that developers adopt to establish communities that provide residents with closer-knit, safe places to live in involves gated communities: residential areas with access restricted through physical barriers such as fences, walls, security guardhouses, and electric gates. Based on the social ecological model, this study highlighted the importance of evaluations and perceptions derived from communal spaces as motivators of social interaction, and demonstrated that the physical environment affects people’s thoughts, feelings, and beliefs about a local neighborhood through everyday contact and experience. The aim of this study was to examine the structural relationships between perceived density, social interaction, and the sense of safety in gated and non-gated communities. For that purpose, six neighborhoods of the same net residential and population density and the same socioeconomic resident status but with different layouts in the city of Mashhad, Iran were selected for detailed investigation. A total of 590 randomly-selected residents completed a 5-point Likert-scale questionnaire, originating from the reviewed literature. The data analysis was made using SPSS 19 and Amos 23. The reliability of the questionnaire, developed specifically to elicit individuals’ perceptions, was demonstrated, and the latent constructs were validated through confirmatory factor analysis. Then, structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to estimate the relationships between the predictors and outcomes. It was found that social interaction was greater in gated communities than in non-gated ones. However, residents in non-gated residential areas exhibited greater senses of safety than those in gated communities. The results of SEM demonstrated that the direct effects of perceived density on social interaction were significant in both groups, and there was a negative causal relationship between perception of density and social interaction. In gated communities, the non-recursive model suggested a feedback loop where a decrease in perceived density would increase social interaction, thereby increasing the sense of safety, in turn further decreasing perceived density. In non-gated communities, however, the sense of safety was influenced by perceived density and thus correlated with social interaction as an independent factor. This finding indicated the mediating role of the sense of safety in the relationship between perceived density and social interaction in non-gated communities.

Present research has been done with the purpose of answering an important question: How could we improve the quality of resident's lives by developing assemble able spaces in residential blocks?  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.

Autism spectrum disorder is a pervasive abnormality in nervous system accompanied by defections in thinking, emotion and feeling, speaking and the ability of communication with others hence leading to the reduction in the interaction level of individuals with autism. In order to create an integrated process for enhancing the social interactions in children with autism, the therapeutic interventions should be conducted by the assistance of proper architectural designing and through considering the role of environmental variables in satisfying the needs of children with autism. Thus, the recognition of the architectural indicators influencing the enhancement of social interactions in the children with autism and evaluation and prioritization of them in architectural designing of these centers seem important. The present article aimed at recognizing and offering an analytical model consisted of environmental indices influencing the enhancement of social interactions in children with autism for prioritizing these indices in designing of educational environments. a descriptive-analytical method was used in this study and the data has been collected in two stages: in the first stage, the study background and theoretical foundations have been compiled using library and documentary research following which the main scales and subscales were identified; then, using the scales found in the first stage, a four-level analytical model was offered comprised of the environmental indices influencing the increase in the social interaction in the children with autism. Afterwards, a questionnaire was prepared using Expert Choice program and it was administered to 15 specialists, including psychologists, occupational therapists and instructors of children with autism. Then, the obtained scales and subscales were rated using analytic hierarchy process and pairwise comparisons. In the end, the autism schools of Qazvin, Zanjan, and Tabriz were selected on which the criteria were evaluated. Finally, the study results indicated that “spatial organization” and “natural elements”, with weights equal to 0.42 and 0.32, respectively, had the highest effect inter alia the studied principles and scales on the enhancement on the social interaction level of children with autism in educational environments.

Nowadays, the sociology of urban space has been the focus of researchers in urban planning and design fields. This has caused the cities and urban spaces within these cities to be considered more than the bodies in them and the relatively large structures in which they were built. In comparison with other sociological factors, vitality in urban spaces is a factor that has been given special attention. This kind of expectations would arise immediately after the introduction of the urban space in the minds of citizens. In fact, one of the most promising expectations of people from urban spaces is the dynamism and liveliness of that space, which is understood as the concept of urban vitality. It seems that the factor that plays a vital role in creating this vitality is the existence of activities in the context of urban spaces. The research tries to investigate the effect of existing activity patterns on the vitality of urban spaces. The Vali Asr Crossroad in Tehran have been identified as a key point in the heart of Tehran and in the structure of Tehran, and It is a totally urban space full of activity patterns, but studies show that vitality in this space is not at the optimal level. For this reason, the study of vitality based on activity patterns in this important urban space is investigated. In the analytical section, a questionnaire based on a conceptual model was designed and then a regression model was used to analyze the results.The results show that the factor of performance as a vital variable in promoting social interactions and as a result of creating vitality at the Vali Asr crossroad plays an important role. Meanwhile, the two factors of static / dynamic activity and diversity at Vali Asr crossroad are factors weakening social interactions and urban vitality.

The present paper is a field and library research achievement and attempts to analyze the role of patterns of spatial deployment in the human-made environment on the social nature of the physical environments of everyday life and the passion for acting in the spaces. Establishing a proper level of collective interaction in the living environment, as one of the factors affecting the quality of life, is influenced by the characteristics of the human environment. Social interaction and the observation of diverse people's activities, by creating socializatioشn  help to develop individual and social development. Today, however, because of the arrival of manifestations of modernity to many human settlements and the absence of a pattern for modernization and improvement, we see several effects such as physical changes in open spaces,the destruction of the local tissues and, consequently, the reduction of social interactions. Lack of social communication, in addition to individual destructive effects, can lead to social problems such as lowering the sense of vitality, increasing crime, reducing social trust, reducing social capital, and so on. Therefore, the main purpose of this research is to identify and formulate the physical patterns of the system of deployment and how they affect the space community in the architectural structures of Hawraman Takht, because their use in upcoming programs of renovation and improvement can have a positive impact on the level of social interactions., The present article attempts to understand the above-mentioned relationship and raises the following basic questions: 1. Which physical patterns of the settlement system are identified in the architecture of the Hawraman? 2. How do each of these features of the deployment system affect the components of socialization and the level of social interaction in  the Hawraman? The present study was conducted using the descriptive-analytical method based on documentary studies as well as field observations. It is a case study because it involves methods whose purpose is to describe the conditions or phenomena under investigation and is analytical because the method A case study examines the extent to which the social component is influenced by the physical patterns of the present situation. In the first step, theoretical foundations and components affecting the space community are extracted through library studies and based on valid internal and external resources. In the second section, using the field scanning in the architectural structures of the five human settlements in Hawraman Takht, three general patterns of deployment, under the heading: a) general patterns of tissue deployment, b) access development patterns, and c) ecological deployment patterns, Identified and compiled.In the final step, through analysis and logical reasoning, the effects of the patterns of the establishment of the system on the components of socialization and the level of social interactions were assessed and evaluated. The final section of this paper shows how the establishment of the human environment has a significant effect on the social structure of the physical spaces, and the patterns of this system can sometimes, alone and sometimes in combination, be in the quantity and quality of the social environment of the public spaces in Hawraman be effective. In other words, the results of this research indicate that the patterns of the deployment system in the architecture of the Hawraman Takht are identifiable and evaluated in four categories of general structure, deployment, accessibility deployment patterns, ecological deployment patterns; and the findings of the evaluation. Each of the three categories of deployment affects the degree of sociality of space and social interactions.

Today, providing housing as one of the most basic biological needs is of particular importance in social and economic development programs of societies. Providing housing, in particular suitable housing, in terms of providing comfort and well-being of humans, plays an important role in the lives of the people of the community. Following the increasing growth of urbanization caused by population growth and rural migration, and in the context of limited land resources and the lack of horizontal growth of cities, verticle development , called "high-rise", was considered. The development of this phenomenon without proper planning and lack of attention to issues such as texture and cultural factors in the interactive interiors of the habitat leads to the appearance of behaviors from the inhabitants, which disrupts and destroys the culture of residence. In this research, with the aim of reducing the effects of highrise on the lives of residents, especially residents of Shiraz, and with regard to the local concept of culture through the increase of residential culture, first, the most important components affecting the cultureof residence are identified by using library studies method and by reviewing literature. Then, using Delphi method, snowball sampling method was used. Furthermore, in order to find out the difference between the status quo and the expected situation, a 41-question questionnaire with a sample size of 110selected experts all familiar with the habitat culture in Shiraz was used to analyzethe components , and the factors related to physical need, safety and peace, social interaction, social identity, discipline and self-flourishing were analyzed. A better understanding of this difference was evident in the dispersion gap. Finally, by providing solutions to coordinate high-ranking officials with the specific culture of the city of Shiraz, the living conditions can be improved and an environment rich in vitality and tranquility can be provided.
