Abstract
An analysis of the indicators explaining the desirability of the urban landscape (case study: Ahvaz metropolis)
Abstract
The urban landscape, as the most important part of the city's appearance, plays a fundamental role in improving the visual quality and, as a result, the satisfaction of the presence and benefit of different spaces for citizens. Therefore, checking the desirability of the urban landscape and providing solutions to achieve the appropriate quality in this area should be considered by urban designers and planners. For this purpose, in this research, examines the indicators that explain the desirability of the urban landscape in Ahvaz city, with an emphasis on public spaces. The research method in the current study is mixed (quantitative-qualitative) with a practical purpose and a descriptive-analytical nature, in order to analyze the information, have been used structural equation modeling in Amos software. The statistical population of the research also includes the citizens of Ahvaz, whose sample size was determined by Cochran's model as 384 people. The findings of the research show that the most favorable indicators of urban landscape of Ahvaz are related to functional, sense of place, aesthetic and environmental indicators respectively, and the coefficients extracted from the structural model for each are 0.44, 0.39, 0.27 and 0.20. Among the sub-indices, the most favorable is related to the separation and clarity of different functions and areas, the openness and comparison of buildings, and the familiarity and having a special face of each space with values of 0.61, 0.58 and 0.54, respectively. Also, the results indicate that according to the critical value of the structural model (1.96) and the low value of the investigated indicators in Ahvaz city, it can be said that the condition of urban landscape indicators in this city is unfavorable.
