Context and purpose: Human experience takes place in different spaces of the city through different sensory channels. In the perception of a space, the more sensory organs are stimulated, the more the impact of the space and the understanding of the space will be more complete and deeper, and the extent of the resulting experiences can be examined with the concept of sensory richness. Sidewalks are one of the manifestations of vitality and urban life, and one of the ways to improve the quality of such spaces is to increase sensory richness in order to use all the senses of the audience. The purpose of this research is to measure the sensory richness and the effect of each sense in different parts of this pedestrian Bazar. What seems to be the case is that the markets, especially Jannat Bazaar, do not have the necessary potential to attract the audience and have lost their place among the people. Therefore, it is necessary to measure the sensory richness and the effectiveness of each sense in different parts of this market.Research method: This research has been conducted in terms of applied purpose, in terms of mixed nature and descriptive-analytical method. In order to collect background information and theoretical foundations, the method of library studies was used, and in order to collect and analyze information in the field study, the method of sensory walking and taking sensory notes was used. Findings and conclusions: do In order to measure the sensory richness in each of the main points of Mashhad Jannat Bazaar, the stimulating factors and the level of involvement of each of the five senses were investigated. In order, the largest painted area is related to point number 6, 1, 4, 3, 5 and 2. At point number 1 (entrance plaza), the richness of the visual sense is high due to vegetation, visual proportions, sky line and colored paving stones. Also, the sense of touch is well stimulated at this point due to the texture of materials, plants and water. In point number 2 (coffee shop), the sense of smell with the highest score has the first priority and the main sensory stimulus is the smell of coffee from the coffee shop located in Jannat 2. In point number 3 (Khatam al-Anbia Mosque), two senses of hearing (due to hearing the unique sound of the call to prayer and other religious prayers on different occasions) and sight (due to the use of traditional materials such as bricks and tiles with various textures and colors), They have created the most sensory richness. At point number 4 (juice shop), the sense of smell and taste are stimulated (because of the smell and taste of juice, corn and sweets). In point number 5 (elements of passing through history), the sense of sight has a high priority due to the observation of celebrity introduction boards and vegetation. At point number 6 (Moustofi's historical house), the sense of sight (due to rereading the body of the historical identity of the region, vegetation, pond and waterway) creates the most sensory richness.

Background and Aim: n recent years, the environmental crisis has been one of the main concerns of human beings. Increasing energy consumption and its impact on the future of the environment has made the design of buildings with a sustainable architectural approach of particular importance. Meanwhile, the physical structure and shape of schools, their environmental and technological qualities, have a great impact on education, culture and achieving a livable world. The main purpose of this study is to achieve the physical characteristics effective in promoting sustainable architecture in schools, so that the physical environment of the school becomes an educational tool for learning environmental issues and sustainable development.Methods: The present article is of applied type and is a qualitative and descriptive analytical research method. Data collection is based on documentary studies, review of texts, sources and experiences that lead to the extraction of a conceptual model. Finally, the physical indicators derived from the model are analyzed in a case study (François Mitterrand School) and solutions are proposed to design the educational space based on the physical indicators of sustainable development.Findings and Conclusion: Findings show that the components that promote sustainability in the educational environment include four main components: physical, environmental, social and economic. In the meantime, the physical component can turn a school into an educational tool for environmental issues and its characteristics include the use of daylight, improving indoor air quality, communication with natural elements, space design to support environmental activity, conscious choice Materials are physical flexibility, reduction of energy consumption through the body and the use of stability elements, which also affect the case study.

The sense of place establishes an inseparable bond between the individuals and the place, leading to individual harmony and satisfaction with the environment while providing the necessary motivation to remain in the environment. The coffee shop is one of the main urban spaces, chosen not only for drinking tea or coffee but also for experiencing the meaning and emotions while spending some hours away from work and stress. Hence, it is necessary to know the factors that affect the sense of place and what puts humans in an internal relationship with the environment. This study generally aims to examine the concept of the sense of place and the factors affecting its creation, particularly the physical body in the coffee shop environment. Library and documentary studies have been used to collect data and the theoretical foundations of the research. The field survey method (observation, interview) has also been employed to investigate and analyze the physical components affecting the sense of place. According to the results, the physical component, influenced by ten indicators of color, geometry, materials, natural and artificial lights, scale, diversity, beauty, and natural elements, has the most significant contribution to the creation and promotion of the sense of place in the coffee shop. Examination of physical components in Blanche Café also showed that indicators of light, natural elements and spatial diversity are the most effective in promoting a sense of place in the sample. Finally, solutions are proposed to enhance the sense of place for each physical component.
