Analysis of Physical Components of the Entrances of Localities Passages in Yazd with a Climate Sustainability Approach

Lack of paying attention of contemporary architecture and urban planning to the environment and adaptation to the climate of the region, Climate sustainability has become a significant issue in urban revisions. To increase climatic stability in a city, effective physical components must be considered in the localities of that city. Awareness of these components and their priorities in architectural design and urban design is the basis of climate sustainability. The purpose of this study is to obtain and analyze the physical components of the entrances to the localities of Yazd. Since more than 3/4 of Iran is covered by arid climate, it was examined in this study. The old texture of Yazd is one of the best architectural models compatible with arid climate of Iran, which its teachings can give suitable guidelines for contemporary architecture and urban planning. In this regard, three localities from the historical texture of Yazd were selected as research samples. This research is of applied in terms of aim and its methodology is descriptive-analytical conducted by library method and field survey. The method of research and data analysis method is mixed (qualitative and quantitative). First, physical components entrance of localities passages were taken and examined and by comparing and analysis the results, effective components in climate sustainability were obtained. Results suggest the effect of physical components of locality entrances on climatic stability in arid climate of Iran.
