Abstract

Ignorance of perceptual-spatial communication and hard border visualization between enclosed spaces has led to the breaking of arenas, which results in the neglect or prioritization of each, the weakening of individual or collective identity, the isolationist view of solitude, and psychological and social harms. The importance of paying attention to the spectral and interactive nature of solitude in which man engages in communication or self-awareness. The need to consider the effects of perceptual-spatial coherence, given the privacy required by each space to provide individual and collective privacy on both sides of the spectrum, shows. Assuming the existence of some degree of privacy in the transition from micro-spaces and the formation of privacy spectrum and to investigate the relationship between spatial configuration and desirability in both individual and collective areas of urban houses, this study seeks to answer the question of the quality of perceptual privacy and its relationship with syntax. Space is about achieving spatial privacy. Spatial permeability was assessed by Deptump and the perceived degree of privacy was interviewed by residents and assessed by SPSS and statistics (t). A survey of four components and indicators of privacy, among all models, the results of Mehrshahr perceptual privacy above the middle level and showed residents' satisfaction with individual and collective privacy. Reducing permeability, by organizing convex interactive spaces and preventing the integration of functions that invades privacy, and by increasing the hierarchy and longer spatial chain from origin to target space, has resulted in the highest collective and individual privacy of Mehrshahr houses relative to the village; In the realization of the spectrum of solitude, the results of spatial and perceptual solitude overlap and correspond.
