Abstract
Statement of Problem: Rural landscapes, as continuing cultural landscapes, represent the natural personality of their community over time, landscapes that change under the influence of cultural and natural currents in their context. Human interaction with nature and the continuity of these landscapes have created several outstanding values in rural landscapes that express tangible and intangible values or in other words, its semantic importance. International documents emphasize the need to develop a conceptual framework and identify these values as a key component in the process of conservation of these landscapes, so that any effort to protect and regenerate rural landscapes, in principle, helps to preserve culture and sustainability of a land.
Aims: To identify and categorize the values of rural landscapes in order to regenerate and sustainably protect such environments and transfer their collective knowledge and cultural meanings to future generations.
Methods: This research first defines the concept of cultural landscape and formulates the conceptual framework and position of rural landscape by reviewing international documents and conventions and examining the views of experts. Then, according to the studies, the values in rural landscapes are classified and explained and finally, a model for regenerating and preserving rural landscapes is presented.
Findings: In this study, the values of rural landscapes divided into two groups: natural and tangible values ​​and cultural and intangible values. Natural and tangible values ​​including environmental, physical, economic and educational values, ​​and cultural and intangibles values include cultural, spiritual, social, and recreational ones. Although in some cases, values ​​are a combination of both, so they are very difficult to refine.
Results: Considering the existing values, a model for recreating and protecting rural landscapes has been presented, which in order to coordinate with the change in the prioritization of these values, it is necessary to pay more attention to their dynamic and multifunctional aspects.

Abstract Aims: Pedestrians are very important because of their characteristics in creating social interactions, functional and environmental goals. The main purpose of this study was to investigate and measure the effects of pedestrian paths on improving the quality of urban environment and comparing the 15 Khordad and Saf pedestrians.
Method: In order to conduct this research, first, using descriptive and analytical research method, physical, functional (functional) and perceptual variables affecting the quality of pedestrians were extracted. The above variables were evaluated by the specified indicators in the 15th of Khordad and Saf pedestrians. Some indicators were evaluated in pedestrian paths using expert observation and through maps and tables. For others, the questionnaire was used to measure physical, functional (functional) and perceptual variables. The questionnaire was evaluated for reliability and validity by Cronbach's elfaya method and reviewed through the initial test of internal dissonances.
Results: The results of the studies showed that there was a significant relationship between the variables of facilities and facilities (physical), economic and service performance (functional-functional) and order (perceptual) with improving the quality of the environment. On the other hand, there is no significant relationship between increasing the sense of belonging to the place by creating the 15th of Khordad and Saf pedestrians and increasing social interactions.

Abstract Problem statement: Sense of place means people's mental perception of the environment and their more or less conscious feelings of their environment, which puts a person in an internal relationship with the environment, so that the understanding and feeling of the person is linked to the semantic context of the environment. Will be integrated. This sense is the factor that turns a space into a place with special sensory and behavioral characteristics for special people. The environment is made up of both physical and social aspects. Humans create places around them, and a place independent of humans has no meaning.
Aim: To analyze human interaction with the environment in terms of the effects of perception and behavior on the sense of belonging to a place in Mehr housing complexes.
Methods: The present study is descriptive-analytical in nature and the statistical population of the study is the residents of Mehr Mokrian Housing Complex in Mahabad. For data analysis, structural equations were used by second-order factor analysis with Amos software.
Results: The results showed that human needs have the greatest effect on creating a sense of place with 0.946 with the effect of perception and behavior in human interaction with the environment and the least effect is related to the interpretive dimension with a collective effect of 0.531 Be.
Conclusion: All the dimensions studied in the present study have an effect on creating a sense of place in human interaction with their environment.

Aim: This study examines the mental factors affecting citizens' satisfaction with municipal services. Three factors are considered: attachment to the place, quality of life and communication between the municipality and the citizens.
Methods: This study is based on qualitative and quantitative analysis. The conceptual framework has been developed using structural equation modeling (SEM).
Results: The results showed that communication has the greatest impact on public service satisfaction (total direct and indirect effects= 0.938), followed by quality of life (total effects= 0.315) and finally, attachment to the city (Indirect effect= 0.256) are.
Conclusion: Therefore, municipalities in order to communicate more efficiently and faster with citizens in Tabriz should use technological systems and create the necessary activities on them so that they can communicate effectively with citizens.

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.
