Abstract

Aime: The healing landscape in today's turbulent, stressful and dense world that is the result of environmental crises is one of the approaches that reduce the physical, mental and social illnesses of citizens in space following today's turbulent, stressful and dense world resulting from environmental crises. Is, has come into being, becomes. Historical and contemporary architectural spaces have different effects on landscape healing according to their construction pattern.

Methods: The present research is based on the nature and scope of the subject in the field of applied and developmental research and in terms of research method is descriptive-analytical which has been done in a mixed (quantitative-qualitative) way. Qualitative analysis of the article is based on observations and indicators affecting healing and then in order to adapt the analyzed indicators to prioritize them based on the opinion of respondents who have been users of study gardens with a coefficient of variation. The statistical population includes all users of Delgsha garden space and family. The sample size is 100 people (minimum descriptive analysis threshold) who are randomly selected.

Finding: Based on the acceptable results, it was observed that a comparative study of the components affecting the landscape healing in historical and contemporary gardens can lead to a pattern of spatial construction in which the components of landscape healing are important.

conclusion: The results indicate that in the traditional garden of Delgosha, spatial clarity, selection, solitude and experience of controlling garden affairs, readability, social interaction and mobility of other indicators were more important for the subjects. While in the contemporary garden of the family, spatial mobility, social interaction, spatial diversity, green plant species and spatial resolution were more important than other indicators for the subjects.
