A designer, facing organization of theorder of urban blocks, does not have access to required comments from the environmental perspective andhas no idea about which kind of order is appropriate for the blocks from this perspective. According to thedefined problem, the question arises that which type of order (simple or complex) is more appropriate inthe process of designing a district and from the perspective of environmental perception. Has Mardavijdistrict, with its simple order, acquired functionality from the perspective of environmental perception,or is this functionality more highlighted in Khaneh Esfahan district, with its complex order? To reach ananswer for the research question, thorough examination has to be done so as to which one of the abovementioneddistricts has provided the required perceptions for a district. Therefore, this study is aimed atidentification of proper order for the purpose of designing a district from the perspective of environmentalperception of 2 districts, namely Khaneh Esfahan and Mardavij, by utilizing descriptive-analysis method,and with the help of using cognitive map drawing technique as well as interviewing inhabitants of bothdistricts. The conclusion was reached that Khaneh Esfahan district, with its complex order, featuresconcepts such as coziness, calm, and friendliness; and therefore, this complex order is more appropriatefor a district from the perspective of environmental perception.}, keywords = {order,Urban block,City Imge}, title_fa = {Examining the Order of Urban Blocks from the Perspective of Environmental Perception in Comparison between 2 Districts: Khaneh-Esfahan and Mardavij of Isfahan}, abstract_fa = {}, keywords_fa = {}, url = {https://www.armanshahrjournal.com/article_49207.html}, eprint = {https://www.armanshahrjournal.com/article_49207_813306f996633980e8fe6c6ee961148c.pdf} }
