        Life in the traditional cities of Iran until the end of the Qajar period was organized in the form of a neighborhood, which suffered a physical and functional rupture following the urban development of the Pahlavi period. Over time, changing the lifestyle and accelerating its process caused semantic changes, isolation and destruction of neighborhood structures from the collective memory of citizens. Since the neighborhood is the bedrock of current life in the old city and the most important residential scale, it is important to study its structure and key elements. However, not much research has been done on the structure of neighborhoods in Isfahan during the Qajar period and in order to identify each neighborhood from the perspective of architectural history studies. In this regard, Lonban neighborhood, which is one of the oldest and largest neighborhoods in Isfahan and located in the western part of the city will be studied in the mentioned period. The purpose of this recognition is to examine and map the historical background of one of the most important historical cities of Iran. The present research has been done by historical-interpretive method and using valid written historical sources. Historical data from which the existence of the neighborhood originated or was important to local people were compiled and extracted as key components from various sources, including maps, travelogues, historiographies, etc., and with different perspectives on the five categories of natural, historical, economic and occupational, demographic, and physical characteristics were explained. Finally, using the studies and matching with Seyyed Reza Khan’s map, the area of this neighborhood in the city of Qajar period was redrawn and the key elements in this neighborhood were identified and their positioning was done. These studies are not only valuable in terms of urban historiography, but as a structure derived from human behaviors and activities over a long period of time and in accordance with their natural environment, it is essential for the process of improving the quality of today’s cities.

        In the last decade, more than before, there is a need to find a solution to increase interest in attending mosques. With the modernization of human life, human’s spiritual need for worship has made them need to attend mosques. However, human beings are less interested in using and staying in these spaces than before. This research first seeks to find the answer to the question, what is the formal hierarchy of mosques during the Qajar period in Shiraz? And secondly, what are the principles of designing the physical elements of the mosque with an emphasis on form hierarchies in order to increase attendance? The purpose of this article is to find principles for designing mosques with emphasis on shape hierarchy in order to increase attendance. For this purpose, the principle of hierarchy in mosques was first discussed with field studies and library surveys. Then the design proposals were prepared according to the criteria of visual ecology obtained in library studies. These suggestions were evaluated in the form of a questionnaire among experts using the Delphi method. Then, the results of this questionnaire were analyzed in SPSS v25 software to check compliance or non-compliance, the degree of influence and the importance of the proposed solutions in the Qajar mosques of Shiraz. According to the analysis carried out in this research, the most effective solutions that can create a formal hierarchy, as a result of increasing spirituality and interest in attending mosques, are solutions such as increasing "additional and decorative elements" and "Make the roof lines more visible" in the design.

        What is translation of cities is the way that this discipline entails the arrangement of different land uses suitable and compatible distribution of urban facilities beside each other as well as the roads network at the localities level. The desired neighboring of infrastructure and urban facilities on the localities has resulted in preventing the establishment of social inequalities and consequently spatial inequality and spatial inequality in the areas that have influence on the function of spatial and spatial configuration of cities in the context of time and space. The aim of this research is to read the Integration spatial behavior between man and the environment in the historical context of the city of Beshravieh in the Qajar period, which has become the basis for the emergence of spatial organization and social logic of space and correlation in the physical-functional structure of the neighborhoods of this city.The current research is applied research in terms of its purpose and descriptive-analytical in terms of its nature and method. The theoretical information of the research has been collected from the method of library studies and using the findings, documents and documents of the cultural heritage of Beshravieh city. And in order to read the social logic of the space governing the spatial body of the neighborhoods of Beshravieh city, two quantitative guidelines (relationships, indicators of space syntax) and qualitative (idea of space syntax) existing in the theory of space arrangement have been used.According to the theory of space syntax, what was the role of physical-functional factors in shaping and developing the social logic of the space of Beshravieh city in the Qajar era? The results of the research show: the building elements of the physical structure of the neighborhoods of Beshravieh in the Qajar era were formed in order to meet the needs of the residents of the neighborhoods and in order to preserve and strengthen its cultural-social identity. And they have also been responsible for creating correlation between the physical elements of the neighborhoods. The achievement of this spatial order is the existence of spatial unity in the whole and its function in the minuscule. Manuscript profile

        Life is one of the valid categories in architecture. In spite, the fact that some experts in the contemporary period have paid attention to the issue of life and the effective components in its formation as a special quality, but in architecture of this period, one rarely sees the presence of vital components in the constructions. This is despite the fact that in the architecture of the pre-modern periods, these features can be received so that it creates a level of quality. In the architecture of the pre-modern period the house has more value among the buildings built. In these houses, the courtyard is one of the important spaces as the focal attention and through this the dignity of all the house spaces originates from it. Therefore, the main research problem is that; What are the vital quality components in Qajar architecture of Yazd? In order to approach a level of physical and mental life in the houses of the contemporary period, knowing the components and the possibility of their application is the main goal of this article. Qualitative research method is among the methods that provide the possibility of obtaining reliable results in this research. Therefore, based on the foundation data method and field research, we will introduce extractive components. For this purpose, by selecting examples of houses of the Qajar period in Yazd, which seem to have this quality, an attempt has been made to identify the components that create or strengthen vitality in architecture. The research results indicate that the evaluated components, in addition to having diversity, also follow a semantic level, so that these levels are closely related to the territorial talents and knowledge skills and architect vision. Also, the components explained by some architectural theorists, including Alexander, can be proven in the architecture of Qajar period houses in Yazd and have relative validity. Manuscript profile

        Throughout history, human has spent his life in different architectural bodies, which is the final product of man's attitude, his behavioral needs, social religious, economic and climatic conditions. The effect of each of the mentioned factors on the configuration of the architectural form of the houses is different, but the influence of culture and climate as the most key factors affecting the architectural characteristics is undeniable. The aim of this research is to get an attitude on the role of culture and climate on the design criteria of Qajar houses in the hot and humid and mild and humid climates of Iran with the approach of comparative analysis in order to find out the influence of each of the physical characteristics from this. Slow identification factors. The research method in this article is in the field of qualitative method and the collection of materials was done by library method and field observation. In the process of analysis, four Qajar houses with two different forms of central courtyard and block were selected in the key cities of the mentioned climates in order to determine the role of culture and climate in the architectural factors through comparative analysis. The results of the research showed that in the hot and humid climate, the criteria of hierarchy, facade and decorations, light and illumination were more influenced by culture and the climate had the greatest impact on the house form, orientation, materials and performance, while In a mild and humid climate, culture has the greatest impact on the geometry, hierarchy and scale of houses, and the climate factor has been effective on the composition, function and form of the house.

        The architecture of traditional schools is often symmetrically formed around one or two perpendicular axes. The main elements of the school building are located on both sides of the axis, and the design of the courtyard is such that it strengthens the centrality of the courtyard and the overall structure. In the architecture of traditional schools, the design and construction of the space is done according to the perceptive capabilities and material and spiritual needs of humans. The main purpose of the research is to know the spatial organization, to examine and compare the elements, and the structural patterns of schools in Tabriz and Urmia in the Qajar and Pahlavi period. In this article, first of all, qualitatively, it examines the structural patterns and spatial organization and the quality of schools, and then by comparing and evaluating the research findings, for the purpose of statistical analysis, processing quantitative data using indicators and tests. Statistics have been done. This research deals with choosing two consecutive historical periods (Qajar and Pahlavi) as a starting point in the change and evolution of the structure of schools. The research with applied approach and descriptive and analytical research method, using field and library information collection, examines the patterns of schools in these periods. The technique of collecting information by means of a questionnaire depending on the answers of the researchers and analyzing the data collected with SPSS descriptive statistics method of skewness and kurtosis and histogram chart to compare the schools of Qajar and Pahlavi period, using statistical analysis and correlation and The test of received indicators was done, and finally the results were extracted. The numerical value of Cronbach's alpha coefficient is equal to 0.707 considering the 9 questions of the questionnaire, which shows that the reliability of the questionnaire is average. For the comparative study of schools, Tabriz Dar al-Funun School, Rushdieh Tabriz, Ferdowsi Tabriz, Anoushirvan Tabriz, Chamran Urmia, Teb Urmia, Tawheed Tabriz (Parvin Etisami) were selected from Qajar and Pahlavi schools. Then, the desired indicators were determined and checked for comparison. Based on this, the most important result of this research is benefiting from suitable design patterns such as centrality, layering, overlapping courtyards, reflection and diversity in school architecture and stretching of plans and entrance in the center, the importance of setting environmental conditions, stretching east and west. And being sunny is important on the one hand, and on the other hand, the era was the neoclassical era, buildings were mostly symmetrical in Europe, and influence from the West was important both in school education and in the shape and body of schools. As a result, the educational spaces from the school mosque with a central courtyard pattern later changed to schools with an elongated plan pattern, and the educational evolution in the Qajar period followed the concept of physical-shape continuity of the traditional Iranian architectural format and items such as the central courtyard, module and frame The arrangement of views and symmetry, introversion and appropriate geometry, etc. can be seen.
