Abstract

Nowadays in Iran, the construction of beautiful courtyards has been overlooked by designers and architects for various reasons. Due to the residents' need for green space and the courtyard, green roofs are used to access the space like the courtyard, and the green roof is far from its main concept in Tehran. Therefore, this space should be considered as one of the main pillars of sustainable development in the city, so that the main goals of building such roofs could be approached. In this research, which is applied in terms of the nature of the practical and methodologically descriptive-analytic, the "documentary method" was first used to study the theoretical foundations, and then a questionnaire was given to architects and planners about executive constraints And the efficiency of the green roofs is now in Tehran which The SMARTPLS2 was used to determine the validity of the questionnaire and Friedman test was used to prioritize the data in SPSS software. The result of the research shows that the most important factor influencing the implementation of green roof which is adapted with environmental principles is architectural attitude and urban planners on the green roof. This implies that the attitude of architects and urban planners in Tehran to the implementation of green roofs has the least adaptation with environmental approaches in Tehran, because of various reasons, and finally solutions has been devoted to minimize constraints.
