1 - Studying and recognizing the structural system and the formation pattern of Khan Garden of Shushtar; A distinct type of Iranian gardening
Mohammad Ebrahim Mazhary Amin Maghsoudi Fatemeh PoodatGardening tradition in the geographical area of Iran has included valuable types of gardens such as fruit garden, river garden, organic garden etc over past centuries. However, despite having unique features, because of the lack of compliance to the prevalent pattern of MoreGardening tradition in the geographical area of Iran has included valuable types of gardens such as fruit garden, river garden, organic garden etc over past centuries. However, despite having unique features, because of the lack of compliance to the prevalent pattern of the Iranian Garden, these gardens have been relatively less studied and recognized. Khan garden in Shushtar, adjacent to the historic water canal of Gargar, is a remarkable example of such types of Iranian gardening since its unique context contains considerable features of gardening that are very unusual among other types of Iranian gardens. Accordingly, this research will try to study and recognize constructive components and elements of Khan garden through a qualitative approach and using the descriptive-analytical research method. In order to recognize and document information related to Khan garden like natural, historical and morphological data, the research applies the cataloguing technique. The required data are primarily collected through biblio sources such as historical accounts, archival documents, maps, aerial images. Also, field survey and oral interviews in the process of data collecting are employed. Based on research findings, the Khan garden should be perceived as a river garden and structurally could be classified as a uni-axial garden. However, since the specific context of the garden’s position, that axe has been placed on an indirect extension that affects constructive systems of the garden and provides an irregular and organic structure for that. Furthermore, according to other findings, agricultural activities, cultural influences of Qajar time, and surrounding characteristics have been the most significant factors in shaping the structural pattern of the Khan garden.

2 - The pattern effect of central courtyard geometric on the air flow in traditional houses of Shushtar

The ge MoreThe central courtyard is one of the ancient and valuable models of Iranian climatic architecture and as a physical element in organizing the structure of the space of traditional houses has responded to various dimensions of biological, social and cultural needs. The geometry of the central courtyard (shape and proportions) as the main design feature always affects the performance of the amount of radiated energy absorbed, suitable thermal comfort conditions, and the pattern of air flow movement. Therefore, the present study has evaluated the relationship between yard proportions and airflow pattern in traditional Shushtar houses. In order to achieve more accurate findings in the existing buildings, Nanaee, Rezvan, Aminzadeh, and Baghal houses were selected as the studied samples in a historical period, with minimal intervention in their spatial structure. The research method of this research is a hybrid method due to its interdisciplinary nature. Firstly, the initial observations, using the experimental strategy, the independent variables (shape, proportions) of the yards are identified and the dependent variables (wind flow velocity) have been measured by using digital anemometer device. Secondly, Anemometers are measured. In order to study the data more accurately, the simulation of this research is performed by CFD computational fluid dynamics method by using Design Modeler and Fluent software. Finally, the air flow inside the yards is analyzed. The results show that houses with four-sided construction yards with length to widths of 1.08 and 1.2 have the most favorable air flow distribution conditions and three-sided construction yards with lengths of 1.01 and 1.13 width in terms of uniform air flow distribution suffer .They enjoy unfavorable conditions in the hot seasons of the year in Shushtar. Changes in the proportions and geometric pattern of the yards have affected the air quality conditions and thermal comfort conditions of the residents. Manuscript profile -

3 - Impact of the socio-cultural worldview of tourists on their intention to visit Shushtar traditional houses

In this research, the cultural worldview and authenticity of the behavioral intention process of tourists in visiting traditional houses have been measured by using the variables of the purposeful behavior model and with an interdisciplinary approach. It is a survey. The statistical population of the research was determined and selected based on Cochran's formula, 384 people among the tourists visiting the traditional houses of Shushtar. Statistical analysis was done using the structural equation method and using SPSS and PlS software. To test the hypotheses, a p_value smaller than 0.05 was considered. For the reliability of the questionnaire, three criteria of factor loading coefficients, Cronbach's alpha, and composite reliability were used, and for the validity of the questionnaire, convergent and face validity were used. Structural equation modeling examined the relationships between variables (cultural worldview, authenticity, attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, anticipated positive and negative emotions, behavioral desire, and intention). this research showed that cultural worldview and authenticity, through the variables of the targeted behavior model, can play an effective role in creating desire in the behavioral intention of tourists, in the decision-making process of visiting the traditional houses of Shushtar. The results of this research showed that maintaining the authenticity of the tourist destination is an important and influential factor in forming a positive image of the destination and visiting cultural and historical areas.
