Exposure to environmental stress is the most important factor in increasing mental disorders in cities (Streit et al., 2014: 352). In fact, the stress of modern urban life can be a reason for the growth of mental disorders (Kennedy &amp;amp; Adolphs, 2011: 452) in the cities of Muslim countries, including Iran. Stress caused by the urban environment, in addition to being an important factor in causing physical diseases (such as types of cancer, cardiovascular diseases, digestive diseases) and mental diseases (such as depression, schizophrenia, isolation of people, etc.), the number of moral abnormalities in it also increases and this environment reduces the security of citizens. In addition to this stress due to the imposition of high medical costs on citizens, it also causes the loss of human capital in the city. For this reason, it is necessary for urban planners and designers to consider stress as an important principle in their plans and to avoid actions that fuel this mental confusion.In fact, due to the rapid growth of urbanization in the world, especially in the Middle East and Iran, and its many challenges and issues, particularly the reduction of mental health and the increase of citizens' stress, a comprehensive approach is needed to reduce environmental stress and to promote urban mental health. It also seems that the Islamic city can be an effective approach in this field due to its adaptation to the native culture of Muslim cities. However, considering that many studies in the field of social sciences have pointed to the impact of Islamic teachings on mental health and stress, so far, no study has been conducted on the link between the Islamic city and urban mental health or urban stress. In fact, the relationship between urban stress as the most important factor in reducing urban mental health and Islamic urbanism has not been investigated so far. For this purpose, this research was conducted with the aim of clarifying the relationship between the environmental stress reported by citizens and the indicators of the Iranian-Islamic city in Hikmat neighborhood in Tehran. According to the research conducted by MoghaniRahimi and his colleagues, this area is one of the most stressful areas of Tehran (MoghaniRahimi et al., 2024: 4). For this purpose, in this research, Hekmat neighborhood, which is one of the neighborhoods of this district, has been selected as the study sample.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Keywords:&lt;/strong&gt;Hekmat Neighborhood of Tehran, Islamic City, Urban Stress.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methods&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This research is a descriptive-analytical research with a comparative approach, where the &lt;br /&gt; required data has been collected using quantitative and qualitative methods such as questionnaires, observation, library studies and then analyzed using regression analysis. In order to measure the conformity of urban blocks with the Iranian-Islamic city, 27 indicators presented in Table 1 have been examined through the introduced criteria. Also, the amount of urban stress was obtained by using a question related to how stressful the residents consider their living environment. According to the study sample population and Cochran's formula (confidence level 95%, error 0.05%, and normal variable 1.96), the minimum number of questionnaires was 379 people, then the sample in the study was distributed using a proportional stratified sampling method. Also, the reliability of the questionnaire was checked with Cronbach's alpha coefficient and the value was calculated as 0.73.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After identifying the indicators, according to the purpose of the research, the data related to the indicators of the Iranian-Islamic city are considered as independent variables and their relationship with the level of stress reported by the citizens (using the question of the questionnaire: In your opinion, how stressful is your living environment (home, street, neighborhood) Enter a number from one to one hundred.) was investigated through regression analysis. Based on the studies of Moghani and his colleagues, this question has a lot of correlation with urban stress and explains the stress of citizens (MoghaniRahimi et al., 2024: 4). In fact, in this section, the data related to the stressfulness of people's living environment as a dependent variable and the data related to the Iranian-Islamic city as an independent variable have been analyzed in SPSS software. As shown in Table 2, the value of the correlation coefficient between variables is 0.645, which indicates a high correlation between Iranian-Islamic urban planning and urban stress reported by citizens. Also, the adjusted or modified coefficient of determination shows that 58% of the total changes in the stressfulness of people's living environment depend on the conformity of the block of residence with the indicators of Iranian-Islamic urban planning in their living area. In other words, Islamic Iranian urban development indicators predict 58% of the variance of the dependent variable.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With a confidence level of 95%, it can be concluded that the influence of indicators of social interactions, connection with nature, access to services, mixing of uses, safety, justice, legibility, access to collective spaces, social support, social cohesion, social integration, social capital, spatial diversity, public health and social diversity are not significant on the stress level of citizens. This index does not affect the dependent variable because its error value or significance level is greater than 0.05. Of course, this issue needs more investigation and it is necessary to investigate it in other study samples and mostly different questionnaires. Also, using the beta coefficients of the sky and pedestrian connection indicators with a coefficient of (0.275), indicators of housing quality, security and comfort and tranquility with an importance coefficient of (0.182), human scale with a coefficient of (0.152), identity with a coefficient of (0.139), vitality with a coefficient of (0.133), participation with a coefficient of (0.127), respectively, the most important indicators of Iranian-Islamic urban planning are effective on the reported stress of citizens. All these indicators have a negative effect on the stress level of citizens, and by improving them, the environmental stress in citizens can be significantly reduced. As shown in Table 4, the identification of the indicators of connection with the sky and pedestrian orbit as the most important effective indicators demonstrates that the most important stressful indicator related to the Iranian-Islamic city in the neighborhood of Hikmat is feeling and lack of observation and connection with the sky and lack of orbit in this area. In the cities of the past, due to the low height of the buildings, the urban man established a very good connection with the sky and the cities were in a deep connection with the sky. But today, high-rise buildings in cities, especially in the 1st district of Tehran municipality, and the study sample of this research, which has faced a rapid trend in recent years, has severely affected the mental health of citizens in this area. Also, neighborhoods in the past cities were very walkable, and citizens benefited from many advantages of walking, especially in the field of health.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Due to the rapid growth of urbanization in the world, especially in the Middle East and Iran, and its many challenges and issues, notably the decrease in mental health and the increase in stress of citizens, many ideas and approaches have been proposed to deal with these challenges. Considering the adaptation of Islamic urban planning to the native culture of Muslim cities, including Iran, it seems that this approach can be effective in dealing with the challenge of urban stress in these cities. However, considering that many studies in the field of social sciences have pointed to the impact of Islamic teachings on mental health and stress, so far no study has been conducted on the link between the Islamic city and urban mental health or urban stress. In fact, the relationship between urban stress as the most important factor in reducing urban mental health and Islamic urbanism has not been investigated until now. For this purpose, this research was conducted with the aim of clarifying the relationship between the environmental stress reported by citizens and the indicators of the Iranian-Islamic city in Hikmat neighborhood in Tehran.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The findings of this research show that there is a high correlation between Iranian-Islamic urban planning and urban stress reported by citizens. Also, by using the beta coefficients of the indicators of connection with the sky and pedestrian orbit, indicators of housing quality, security and comfort and peace, human scale, identity, vitality, and participation, respectively, the most important indicators of Iranian-Islamic urban planning are effective on the reported stress of citizens. All these indicators have a negative effect on the stress of citizens, and by improving them, the environmental stress in citizens can be significantly reduced.&lt;/p&gt;

This research has studied and evaluated the tradition or evolutionary process of Gorgan house architecture in these two periods based on library studies and historical documents along with supplementary field observations based on the scientific method of Ames Rapaport typology. Three types of house architecture can be identified in terms of physical-spatial aspects. The first type, "Qajar houses", includes houses with a central courtyard pattern. The second type, "houses of the transitional period from Qajar to the first Pahlavi dynasty". These houses have linear geometry. The third type, "the first Pahlavi houses", are completely extroverted. Architectural elements and features such as: proportions of open, closed and semi-open spaces and other physical elements were examined and the necessary results were obtained to classify and recognize the architectural developments of Gorgan houses.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Keywords: &lt;/strong&gt;Tradition (process of evolution), Gorgan historical house, Qajar dynasty, Pahlavi dynasty, Transitional period&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Introduction&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Gorgan, due to its special climate, has an urban texture and architecture of houses that are separate from other regions of Iran. The transformation that occurred from the Qajar period to the first Pahlavi period, initially, the historical texture passages of the city and then, historical buildings and native houses have been exposed to destruction. These transformations make it necessary to identify the architecture of historical houses in Gorgan city as part of its historical identity. The dimensions of the houses, spatial structure, the location of the house within the courtyard, the distinctions in the entrances and porches, the location and number of rooms, the approach to urban passage, windows and stairs, are the main factors affecting the definition of different types of house architecture in this research. In this research, the concept of type and typological methods for classifying architecture, both in components and elements and in the totality of the phenomenon that is affected by the classification of elements and components, are examined.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In order to regularize the typology in a way that it can be used for planning, Ames Rapaport has proposed principles. These principles have been used in this research and a set of characteristics in the typology of building elements and components has been used to finally identify the basic types. From a total of 38 houses reviewed in the historical context of Gorgan, 18 houses were selected, including: 7 houses related to the early and middle Qajar period, 5 houses related to the transition period from the end of the Qajar to the beginning of the first Pahlavi dynasty, and 6 houses related to the middle and late Pahlavi dynasty.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Research Method&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The research method is descriptive-analytical and logical reasoning with a deductive strategy and from part to whole. In the research process, the Ames Rapaport multi-attribute typological method has been used to analyze the study samples in the two periods of the Qajar and the first Pahlavi. In order to typify and recognize this tradition (development process), at the beginning, various physical-spatial characteristics are examined and, considering the similarities, a set of several characteristics in the historical houses under study is introduced. In library studies, contemporary sources on the architecture of the region and texts written by tourists about the historical texture of Gorgan have been used and basic theories have been identified. In field research, the existing documents on the architecture of historical houses of Gorgan have been collected, reviewed, and completed in the three periods of the Qajar, the first Pahlavi, and the transitional period.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;The study shows that three types of house architecture can be identified in terms of physical and spatial aspects in the historical context of Gorgan. The first type, related to "Qajar houses", includes houses with a central courtyard pattern, which are divided into two categories: houses with extended families with several central courtyards and houses with independent families with one courtyard. The second type is "houses of the transition period from Qajar to Pahlavi I". These houses have linear geometry and are classified into two categories: semi-introverted (end of Qajar) and semi-extroverted (beginning of Pahlavi I). The third type is "Pahlavi I houses". These houses are divided into two categories: "garden houses (garden pavilions)" and "extroverted houses facing urban passages". Architectural elements and features such as: the relationship between indoor spaces and semi-open spaces and open spaces (courtyards), porches, windows and their proportions, entrances, number of floors, area of ​​the substructure, stairs and their location, percentage of building surface area occupied by the entire land, proportions of rooms, spatial arrangement of rooms, and other matters, have caused differences and created different types of house architecture in these two historical periods, especially in the transition from the Qajar historical period to the first Pahlavi historical period, and in a meaningful tradition.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Discussion and Evaluation of the Results of this study&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Historical houses in Gorgan city were studied as a human environment derived from various cultural, climatic-geographical and social factors. The important point is that the traditional (evolutionary process) of human living spaces (houses) is derived from fundamental social, political and economic changes in the two historical periods of Qajar and the first Pahlavi. With the passage of time and approaching the present era, historical houses have changed more rapidly, so that in the 100 years from the beginning to the end of the Qajar historical period, two types of houses, one with several central courtyards and the other with a single central courtyard, have emerged, which do not differ fundamentally from each other. The architecture of historical houses in Gorgan during this period is dominated by stability and stability. However, at the end of the Qajar historical period to the end of the first Pahlavi historical period, which includes about 20 to 25 years of time, 4 types of houses that are completely different from the houses of the Qajar period have been formed, and these 4 types also have many differences from each other. The type of classification that has been carried out in the typology of Gorgan's houses' architecture has been able to accurately analyze the spatial structure and design pattern in different periods of Gorgan's architecture. Linear patterns and the central courtyard are patterns that have been obtained naturally and without the intervention of external and interfering factors, which can be a suitable model for Gorgan's native architects to design modern housing inspired by the past architecture of Gorgan. What has been obtained regarding the architecture of Gorgan's houses in the extroverted patterns shows that the houses of the first Pahlavi dynasty did not have much of a natural and historically evolutionary structure and only paid attention to some naturalistic architectural patterns of the past of Gorgan, and in the periods after the first Pahlavi dynasty, the architectural patterns of Gorgan's houses were generally no longer used.&lt;/p&gt;

Different theorists including "Lang", "Cremona" and "Ian Bentley" expressed different theories in the field of environmental perception and examined the components affecting qualitative perception and things like readability, variety, vitality, flexibility, sense Place and... have been presented in the explanation of qualitative components. While introducing the quality measurement models based on these theories, this article deals with the extraction and selection of the most effective components on the perception of space. In this research, which is of a mixed type, first among the components affecting the quality of perception, four components "variety, readability, visual compatibility and sensory richness" which have been given special attention by most theorists, were initially selected and While describing and analyzing the quality of each of the selected components, qualitative indicators such as geometry, order, fluidity, balance, evocativeness, etc. were extracted. Because these indicators can be evaluated in the measurement of qualitative perception; In the second part of the article, the impact of the components and indicators was measured using the questionnaire method and the average analysis of the obtained statistical data. In the following, with the aim of measuring and evaluating the mentioned indicators in the qualitative perception of two traditional houses in the historical context of Yazd, namely " Rasoulian" and " Mortaz", which in recent decades have become parts of the Yazd Faculty of Art and Architecture. Qualitative and quantitative measurements have been identified and analyzed in order to identify and accurately analyze the perceptual differences in these two houses. The respondents of the questionnaire of this research were graduates of Yazd Faculty of Art and Architecture who had the experience of attending these two houses for consecutive years and gained a relatively accurate understanding of these two houses. The analyzes have shown the perceptual commonalities in these two houses. Relying on the quantitative measurements, the findings of the article confirm that from the perspective of the users, all four investigated components had a significant effect on the qualitative perception of the spaces of this two houses, and this is a sign of the secret of the dynamics and durability of traditional architecture of Yazd.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Keywords: &lt;/strong&gt;Components of Perception, Mortaz House, Quality of perception, Perception of Space, Rasoulian House.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Introduction&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The field of architecture has undergone significant transformation over the years, evolving from a discipline primarily concerned with aesthetics and construction techniques to one that actively incorporates insights from behavioral science, environmental psychology, and sociology. This interdisciplinary approach has led to a deeper understanding of spatial perception and the Components influencing it. The Perception of Space, which refers to the way humans cognitively and sensorially interpret their surroundings, plays a critical role in how architectural spaces are experienced, appreciated, and utilized. In recent decades, researchers and theorists such as Kevin Lynch, Matthew Carmona, and Ian Bentley have contributed extensively to this field, offering frameworks and theories that identify multiple key qualitative components effecting spatial perception. These components, including legibility, diversity, vitality, flexibility, and a sense of place, are foundational to creating spaces that resonate with users on cognitive, emotional, and sensory levels.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This study delves into these theoretical insights by focusing on the Traditional Houses of Yazd, a city renowned for its ingenious desert-adaptive designs and historic urban fabric. Yazd&amp;rsquo;s traditional houses exemplify a harmonious blend of functional and aesthetic elements, offering a wealth of insights into how architecture can show environmental challenges while fostering a profound connection with its inhabitants. The research specifically examines and studies two exemplary traditional houses&amp;mdash;Rasoulian House and Mortaz House&amp;mdash;to explore the qualitative components influencing spatial perception. By conducting a comparative analysis, the study seeks to uncover the principles underlying the timeless appeal and enduring vitality of these architectural masterpieces.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Theoretical Foundations and Methodology&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Central part to this research is the identification and analysis of key qualitative components that effect on spatial perception. Based on a comprehensive review of theoretical literature and information, four components have been selected for detailed exploration: diversity, legibility, visual compatibility, and sensory richness. These components are frequently emphasized in the works of leading theorists and are considered essential in shaping meaningful and engaging architectural spaces. Each component is analyzed to extract specific attributes that contribute to spatial quality. For instance:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Diversity&lt;/strong&gt;: Refers to the variety and complexity of spatial arrangements, including variations in scale, function, and spatial transitions.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Legibility&lt;/strong&gt;: Encompasses the clarity and coherence of spatial organization, ensuring that users can easily navigate and understand the environment.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Visual Compatibility&lt;/strong&gt;: Highlights the harmonious integration of architectural elements, materials, and motifs to create aesthetically pleasing spaces.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sensory Richness&lt;/strong&gt;: Focuses on the stimulation of multiple senses through elements such as light, texture, sound, and temperature.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The research adopts a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative techniques to provide a comprehensive understanding of spatial perception. In the qualitative phase, detailed analyses of the selected components are conducted through site visits, architectural documentation, and interpretative studies. Attributes such as geometry, order, fluidity, balance, and memorability are explored to understand how these components contribute to the overall spatial experience.In the quantitative phase, structured questionnaires are distributed to users and occupants of two Case Studies:Rasoulian House and Mortaz House. The survey captures subjective experiences and perceptions, providing statistical data that complements the qualitative findings. The combination of these methods ensures a robust analysis of how qualitative components influence spatial perception in traditional houses.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Case Studies: Rasoulian House and Mortaz House&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Rasoulian House and Mortaz House were selected as case studies due to their exemplary representation of Yazd&amp;rsquo;s traditional architecture. Both houses, situated within the city&amp;rsquo;s historic fabric, embody the principles of adaptive design, cultural expression, and environmental harmony. Despite their differences in architectural spaces and historical contexts, both houses offer valuable insights into the qualitative aspects of spatial perception.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rasoulian House&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Rasoulian House is renowned for its central courtyard design, which exemplifies the traditional Persian architectural approach to creating a microclimate in hot and dry environments. The house features symmetrical layouts, intricate stucco work, and a well-defined spatial hierarchy. The courtyard acts as the focal point, surrounded by iwans (semi-open spaces), closed rooms, and subspaces. The interplay of light and shadow in the courtyard, coupled with the presence of water features and greenery, gives the space a sensory richness. The use of traditional materials such as adobe, brick, and plaster further adds to the tactile and visual appeal of the house.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mortaz House&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mortaz House, though distinct in its design, shares several similarities with Rasoulian House in terms of its adaptive use of spatial elements. The house is characterized by its geometric precision, balance, and functional layout, which reflect a strong focus on legibility. The clear spatial hierarchy and axial alignments make the house easily navigable, while the harmonious integration of architectural elements ensures visual consistency. The use of semi-open spaces, such as iwans and porches, allows for a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor environments, enhancing the overall spatial experience.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Findings and Implications&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The findings of this study highlight the significant role of the four identified components in shaping spatial perception. Diversity, legibility, visual compatibility, and sensory richness are shown to have a substantial impact on how users experience and interpret the spaces in two traditional houses:Rasoulian House and Mortaz House. Attributes such as geometry, order, fluidity, balance, and memorability further enhance the qualitative richness of these environments.The perceptual commonalities observed between the two houses underscore the effectiveness of traditional architectural principles in creating meaningful and engaging spaces. These principles, rooted in a deep understanding of human needs and environmental context, have contributed to the enduring vitality and resilience of Yazd&amp;rsquo;s traditional architecture. The findings also provide valuable insights for contemporary architectural practices, emphasizing the importance of integrating qualitative components into Contemporary design processes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lessons for Contemporary Architecture&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This research underscores the relevance of traditional architectural principles in showing contemporary challenges. By drawing inspiration from the qualitative components analyzed in this study, architects can create spaces that are both functional and meaningful. For instance, incorporating elements of diversity in spatial arrangements can enhance user engagement and adaptability, while ensuring legibility can improve the navigability and coherence of spaces. Similarly, both emphasizing visual compatibility and sensory richness can create environments that foster a sense of place, community, and well-being.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In conclusion, this study confirms that the qualitative components analyzed are integral to the spatial perception of Yazd traditional houses. These components enhance the aesthetic, functional, and emotional qualities of the spaces, contributing to their enduring relevance in contemporary architectural discourse. The lessons learned from Rasoulian House and Mortaz House highlight the potential of traditional architectural principles to inform and inspire future design practices, ensuring the creation of spaces that resonate with users on multiple levels.&lt;/p&gt;

This study aims to explore the stages of transition from separation to union in the interstitial space of architecture, focusing specifically on the Imam Mosque of Isfahan. The interstitial space, as a third space that facilitates transition, is related to movement, direction, and destination, guiding the individual from appearance to essence. The research method is a mixed (qualitative-quantitative) approach, utilizing library studies, spatial arrangement analysis, and field research with DepthMap and SPSS software. The findings suggest that interstitial spaces create a hierarchy of movement and perception, providing a platform for spiritual proximity along a path toward a defined destination, leading to mental and emotional transformation of the user.The transition from exterior to interior in architecture is deemed as one of the most fundamental debates addressed in the present research within the context of liminality. Liminality implies an in-between and mediatory state in architecture which refers to two positions of being in-between proximity or elevation to reach the final resting destination of stability. In the architectural world liminality represents closeness to communion with the goal akin to an intuitive command and makes architecture to have levels and stages. The most significant goal of the present dissertation is proximity to truth in transition from external to internal examining its levels and orders.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Keywords:&lt;/strong&gt; Interstitial space, union, appearance and essence, Imam Mosque of Isfahan&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Introduction&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Islamic architecture has always sought to create spaces that transform the sensory and spiritual experiences of users. One of the key features of this architecture is the use of interstitial spaces, which act as intermediaries between external and internal spaces, facilitating a gradual experience of movement and transition. These spaces not only have a functional role but also carry significant symbolic and conceptual meaning, altering the perception of the user toward space and architecture. Given the importance of this subject, the current study investigates the stages of transition from separation to union in the architecture of interstitial spaces, with the Imam Mosque of Isfahan selected as a rich example of Islamic architecture.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The liminal stages are defined as appearance (transmission, reception), reality (interpretation, perception) and truth (presence, transformation). The liminal experience is not confined to a mere passage from one space into another as this experience signifies a material dissociation and spiritual association. The scope of research in the theoretical framework includes the liminal space in mosques along with the related concepts reflecting and focusing on ideas by domestic as well as foreign thinkers, philosophers, mystics and scholars in order to reach a comprehensive and thorough definition of the notion of communion in Shiite mosques scrutinizing the data in the relevant texts. Moreover, the implied and semantic values in the architecture of the liminal spaces of mosques are examined to explore the relation among action, reaction, and interaction to elucidate that this process is two dimensional whose outcome is the three staged passage from detachment, elevation and attachment. This not only assists the formation of the shape of the space, but also plays an essential role in gradation, and orientation of the notions of interaction, action, and reaction. This dissertation being an interdisciplinary research including philosophy, semantic values, and qualitative terms related to the liminal space of mosques, attempts at exploring the moment of union in the selected mosques. To achieve the goal, the research utilizes the mixed qualitative, and quantitative method. After examining the specialized texts within the theoretical framework, the presented models obtained from domestic as well as foreign scholars and thinkers are introduced and based on the nature of the subjects in questions using the narrative method or content analysis or descriptive statistics with the use of SPSS and AMOS software. Afterwards the required maps to interpret the given data with Depth Map are extracted from trasure books and documents from Isfahan province&amp;rsquo;s cultural heritage organization to analyze the physical characteristics of Imam Mosques with interviews, and registering the post analysis by human.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Research Methodology&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This study is applied in terms of its objectives and uses a mixed (qualitative-quantitative) method. In the qualitative section, library research is conducted to extract theoretical concepts related to interstitial space, transition, and union. In the quantitative section, field data is analyzed using spatial arrangement analysis, DepthMap, and SPSS software, as well as human trace recording. The Delphi method and Analytical Network Process (ANP) were also used for data analysis. The statistical population includes architectural experts and users of the Imam Mosque of Isfahan, and the sample size was determined using Cochran's formula.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt; The findings of the research reveal that interstitial space in the Imam Mosque of Isfahan plays a crucial role in guiding users from the public space to more private and inward spaces. This process occurs through the hierarchy of movement, changes in spatial scale, and the interplay of light and shadow. Software analyses also indicate that the Imam Mosque has a coherent spatial pattern that focuses the sensory and spiritual experience of the users in the dome chamber.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Discussion and Conclusion&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Interstitial space in architecture functions not only as a physical element but also as a platform for sensory, mental, and spiritual experiences. This research shows that interstitial spaces play a key role in guiding the user from the surface appearance to the depth of meaning. The findings suggest that interstitial space, by organizing movement and perception hierarchies, leads the user toward union and a transcendent experience. The analysis of the case study, the Imam Mosque of Isfahan, confirms that these spaces, through their physical, sensory, and symbolic interactions, not only enhance spatial understanding but also profoundly impact the experience of presence and spirituality.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The research findings imply that as an uncertain condition, liminality invites and encourages the audience in reaching a communion in architecture within the three stages of detachment, elevation, and attachment. In the first order the passage is merely from appearance to appearance; a physical movement from matter to matter horizontally and vertically which causes diversity. The next level is movement from appearance to reality; A mental passage from matter to mind in the realm of spiritual which occurs vertically and leads into excellence and progression. The final stage or level is the passage from reality to truth; A movement from mind to truth in the realm of soul representing the ascending movement from imperfection to perfection culminating into conjunction, and communion. The gradual possibility of union, the destination and elevation are embedded in the motion; A state of restlessness and desire for union which is repeated over and over from external to internal, considering the purposefulness of the transition which ultimately creates harmony and enriches the architecture.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The findings include the presentation of a quantitative model in the field of theorization and research measures are based on a parallel transformation of qualitative and quantitative data in order to inaugurate theories in the liminal zones to fill the existing theoretical gap in the function of the liminal spaces.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</Abstract><OtherAbstract Language="FA">&lt;p&gt;انتقال از یک فضا به فضای دیگر به&amp;zwnj;واسطه فضای سومی است که در قالب بینابینی مطرح می&amp;zwnj;شود. بینابینی در این پژوهش با ماهیت گذار که دارای حرکت، جهت و مقصد است سر&amp;zwnj;وکار دارد. برای دست یافتن به حقیقت موضوع، راهی جز سیر از ظاهر به باطن را پیش رو نمی&amp;zwnj;گذارد. هرگاه فرد در فضای بینابینی قرار می&amp;zwnj;گیرد، در مسیری رو به سوی مقصدی مشخص است که در این مقاله وصال نامیده می&amp;zwnj;شود. مقالة حاضر با سیری از ظاهر به باطن، سعی در پیدا کردن حقیقت بینابینی در معماری دارد. در مرحلة اول این مسیر در احوال آدمی و در مراحل بعدی به عنوان بحثی در معماری به آن پرداخته خواهد شد و با ورود به موضوعی چند جانبه به تبیین نقش فضاهای بینابین در سلسله مراتب حرکت از جلوخان تا گنبدخانه مسجد مورد پژوهش و تدقیق این نقش در سه مرتبه ظاهر، باطن و حقیقت خواهد پرداخت. پژوهش حاضر از نظر هدف كاربردي و از نظر روش، کیفی- کمی (آمیخته) است و از حیث جمع&amp;shy;آوری اطلاعات، مي&amp;zwnj;توان اين تحقيق را نوعی تحقيق ميداني به حساب آورد. روش تحلیل آن نیز با استفاده از روش چیدمان فضا، تحلیل مصاحبه&amp;zwnj;ها و تحلیل آماری توسط نرم&amp;zwnj;افزار SPSS و آنالیز مؤلفه&amp;zwnj;ها در فضاهای بینابینی مسجد امام اصفهان است. بینابینی&amp;zwnj;های مکرر در سیر مراتب از جلوخان مسجد امام تا گنبدخانه در مخاطب تحولی ایجاد می&amp;zwnj;کند که با بی&amp;zwnj;قراری آمادة رسیدن به مقصد نهایی که همان وصال به حقیقت معماری از دل برآمده است، می&amp;zwnj;شود. مراتب گذار در معماری فضای بینابینی به ترتیب با مفاهیم &amp;laquo;انفصال/ دریافت، گذار/ برداشت و اتصال/ تحول&amp;raquo; تعریف می&amp;zwnj;شوند؛ به عبارتی دیگر یک ناحیة انتقالی معماری (مرتبه اول در بینابینی) در مرتبه&amp;zwnj;ای کامل&amp;zwnj;تر جایی برای متحول شدن و در وجوه عالی&amp;zwnj;تر مکانی برای حضور در نظر گرفته می&amp;zwnj;شود. بنابراین تجربة بینابینی در معماری تنها گذر از یک فضا تا فضای دیگر نیست، این گسترة معنایی از فصل تا وصل حقایقی را به همراه دارد.&lt;/p&gt;

Kermanshah, as the largest metropolitan city in the central-western part of the country, has significant regional influence politically, socially, economically, and demographically. Due to the city's poor urban structure, Kermanshah is highly vulnerable to earthquakes, and the probability of emerging problems and critical situations is very high in the event of an earthquake. Therefore, it is necessary to provide systematic and efficient methods for crisis management to reduce the level of vulnerability. This study aims to identify the factors affecting physical vulnerability and provide a method and model to assess the vulnerability of urban areas to help urban management reduce casualties and damages caused by earthquakes before, during, and after the crisis. The research is applied, and the method used is descriptive and analytical. The study uses the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) model in the ARC GIS software environment to measure and prioritize the vulnerability of different regions of Kermanshah city. The results indicate that 31.69% of the city's buildings are located in very high and high vulnerability zones regarding physical sustainability, with Region 3 being the most vulnerable area. In terms of crisis relief efficiency, 13.65% of the city's buildings are in very high and high vulnerability zones, with Region 5 being the most vulnerable area. Regarding physical vulnerability, 23.78% of the buildings are in very high vulnerability zones, and 34.97% are in high vulnerability zones. Regions 3, 7, 4, and 2 are the most vulnerable areas in Kermanshah in the event of an earthquake.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Introduction&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The variety and frequency of natural disasters worldwide emphasize the need for effective management in urban planning to enhance resilience against the shocks of natural or human-made disasters. Iran, due to its geographical location and position on the Alpine-Himalayan seismic belt, is constantly exposed to high-magnitude earthquakes. Kermanshah Province, located near the main Zagros fault and secondary faults such as Nahavand, Qarun, Sahneh, and Morvarid, is highly susceptible to earthquakes, with events exceeding magnitudes of 6 and 7 in 1957 and 2017 serving as evidence of this vulnerability. Therefore, it is essential to provide systematic and efficient methods based on urban planning principles to manage crises and reduce Kermanshah city's vulnerability to earthquakes.This study examines the theoretical foundations and concepts related to earthquakes, urban planning, and city resilience. It evaluates the physical vulnerability of Kermanshah city in the event of an earthquake and identifies the factors, criteria, and variables affecting this vulnerability. Ultimately, 11 sub-criteria and two main criteria are identified as effective factors contributing to the city's vulnerability. After analyzing and processing the data, vulnerability maps were created for all sub-criteria, and it was found that the highest vulnerability is related to the sub-criterion of open spaces, followed by the proximity to fire stations. The highest vulnerability in the main criteria is related to the efficiency of the urban fabric during a crisis. According to the results, more than half of the buildings in the city are located in very high and high vulnerability zones in the event of an earthquake. The main objective of this research is to identify, analyze, categorize, and determine the impact of each factor affecting the physical vulnerability of the city to earthquakes. The research aims to use scientific methods and models to assess, measure, determine, and prioritize the vulnerability of urban areas in Kermanshah to potential earthquakes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Research Methodology&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The required data were collected through library and documentary methods, using available information from the GIS unit of Kermanshah Municipality, satellite images (LANDSAT), and fieldwork. The aim of this study is to evaluate Kermanshah city's vulnerability based on the city's physical criteria. To determine the factors and variables affecting vulnerability, the study considers the current conditions of the city, as well as relevant previous research. The two main criteria of physical sustainability of the urban fabric and the efficiency of the fabric during a crisis, along with 11 sub-criteria (variables) such as land area, building coverage ratio, population density, number of floors, street width, building age, construction type and materials, access to open urban spaces, access to emergency centers, distance from hazard zones, and urban fabric type, were identified as key factors affecting the physical vulnerability of Kermanshah to earthquakes. After entering the spatial and descriptive data for each sub-criterion into GIS software, the data were stored, processed, and analyzed. Vulnerability maps for each sub-criterion were created, and in order to combine the layers (variables) and generate an overall vulnerability map, the importance and priority of each sub-criterion were determined. For this purpose, expert opinions were collected using questionnaires, and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was applied using Expert Choice software to calculate the final weights of the criteria and sub-criteria and ensure the consistency of judgments. The vulnerability of each sub-criterion was categorized into four zones: very high, high, medium, and low, based on the impact of each indicator.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the event of an earthquake in Kermanshah city, the sub-criteria of access to open spaces and distance from fire stations will have the worst conditions. Specifically, 71.53% of buildings (119,159 buildings) are in very high vulnerability zones regarding access to open spaces, and 65.76% (109,539 buildings) are in very high vulnerability zones regarding access to fire stations. In these two sub-criteria, the worst conditions are found in Regions 3, 5, and 7, respectively. The sub-criteria of urban fabric type, access to healthcare centers, and building coverage ratio fall into the very high vulnerability zone, each with frequencies ranging from 35% to 43%, ranking second. The most vulnerable areas in these sub-criteria are Regions 3, 7, and 2.In the physical sustainability criterion, 34.27% of the city's buildings are located in very high vulnerability zones, and 35.04% are in high vulnerability zones, which is a significant and concerning number. In this criterion, the most vulnerable regions are Regions 3, 4, and 2. In terms of the efficiency of the urban fabric during a crisis, 33.08% of the city's buildings are in very high vulnerability zones, and 31.93% are in high vulnerability zones. The worst conditions in this criterion are found in Regions 5, 7, and 3.Regarding the overall physical vulnerability of the city to potential earthquakes, 39,618 buildings are in the very high vulnerability zone, and 56,796 buildings are in the high vulnerability zone. This means that 96,414 out of 166,500 buildings in the city (57.81%) are located in very high and high vulnerability zones. The final results of this study reveal the harsh reality that, in the event of an earthquake, unfortunately, more than half of Kermanshah city will be in very high and high vulnerability zones. If proper planning, scientific policy-making, and timely implementation of operational programs are not carried out, the casualties and damage resulting from the earthquake will be catastrophic and irreparable.&lt;/p&gt;
