Abstract

With the growing trend for semi-natural spaces in urban areas, urban parks and the related social behaviors have been faced with more interest. However, the flaw in the original design, changes in the park field and variation in living standards level of users, causes situation that lead to some inappropriate performance functions of the parks or parks unable to provide optimal quality of these functions. The main objective of this study was to address these failings and to advance the cause, using problem solving method proposed in this social-architectural research. In this context, semi-mountainous areas parks, review as case studies due to the nature of subject and locating in the particular region in the country for evaluation the priority of redesigning principles.To achieve this goal, redesigning in urban parks is defined and after studying worldwide experience and situation analysis, by using a qualitative evaluation in an urban park in Khoram-Abad, Arak and Hamadan, redesigning principles is proposed. The research method was descriptive-analytical and information collecting method have been taken by theoretical studies through library method and field studies including survey of the physical condition of the park and picked up a case study and statistical distribution of questionnaires among 224 presented persons in the park. The statistical analysis was performed on the responses of consumers by analysis program R and the frequency response is obtained. To assess the principles' priority of redesigning in the city's parks, the covariance was used.The results show that the three principles: consideration to the union, linkage and coordination between the initial layout and redesigning plan of parks, optimizing the ecological functions of Park and optimizing social functions of Park through the relevant mechanisms should be in interest and commitment in redesigning parks of semi-mountainous areas.

Highlights

  • Urban sprawl, changing people lifestyle and apartment dwelling causes urban green spaces change to the necessary and thinkable issue

  • Cities that are located in the semi-mountainous areas are no exception and by the changes in the shape and texture of the lifestyle of residents, everyday, the amount of urban green space reduced.

Summary

Introduction

Urban sprawl, changing people lifestyle and apartment dwelling causes urban green spaces change to the necessary and thinkable issue. Cities that are located in the semi-mountainous areas are no exception and by the changes in the shape and texture of the lifestyle of residents, everyday, the amount of urban green space reduced. 191) In the complex environment due to the construction and manipulation of human-caused, Adverse effects of environmental factors such as vegetation, water, light, land and was undeniable and with that every day more and more pollutants in urban life and the problems faced by patients, Green space, are effective in creating a beautiful, comfortable, air and noise filtration and etc. Urban parks act as an air pollution systems and greatly reduced the pollution caused by oil and other contaminants and are a filter to prevent noise nuisance to nearby residents. The design process has a cyclic process and reversible. The park design process is not exempted from this matter, in the event the procedure of this process after evaluation can finish by defining the issue or present failures and lead to some sort of redesigning or elimination of defects and failures in future
