Abstract Lack of attention to the entrance space of the city during the rapid growth of urbanization, these spaces have faced a crisis of anonymity. Achieving a design with understandable quality is a reference to solve these issues. Achieving a sort of design for preservation and continuity of the former identity, relationship of the audience with the identity of the place through visual communication with symbolic elements, creating a pause through visual communication with local symbols and symbolic elements in the entrance design of Kermanshah (from Hamedan) are the aims of research. The method is combined, with an interpretive approach, we tried to ask how people understand and evaluate the identity of the entrance of the city of Kermanshah from Hamedan? To be answered. In this regard, data were collected and analyzed through in-depth interview techniques and field observation and field survey. Sampling was purposeful and the interviews reached theoretical saturation after 30 interviews. In the analysis step, thematic analysis method was used. Finally, the results were classified and interpreted based on thematic analysis and field observations. The results of this study showed that the non-use of environmental elements (human and natural) at the entrance of Kermanshah has caused the city entrance to lack the components of a distinct entrance. The most important environmental elements identified as native signs and symbols of Kermanshah are; Tagh-e-Bostan, Tagh-e-Gara, stone materials and vegetation of the region, which if used in the entrance of the city based on the contextualism approach can identify the entrance and make it have the components of a distinct entrance.

The statistical sample of the study consisted of managers and organizers of sport events in ten provinces (Tehran, Alborz, Isfahan, East Azerbaijan, West Azerbaijan, Khuzestan, Khorasan Razavi, Kurdistan, Lorestan and Kermanshah). After distributing the questionnaires, 254 questionnaires were returned. Research data analysis was performed using AMOS and SPSS-19 software. Pearson correlation coefficient and path analysis statistical tests were used to test the hypotheses and bootstrap method was used to test the indirect relationships. The results showed that the three factors of environmental awareness, perception of environmental effects and intention to support green sport events affect the actual environmentally friendly behavior. The results also showed that the variable of intention to support green sport events acts as a mediating variable and a measure of the effect of environmental awareness and perception on the actual environmentally friendly behavior resulting from the intention to support green sporting events. According to the proposed research model, the environmentally friendly behaviors of organizers and managers of sporting events and their intention to support green sporting events are greatly influenced by their awareness and perception of environmental issues. It seems that understanding the basic factors influencing the real and supportive behaviors of people in green sports is necessary to promote environmental behavior.
