Abstract

"Territory" is one of the most essential "innate" needs of human beings, especially in residential environments. Attention to which improves the human scale of the environment and consequently the quality of artificial environments. Researches show that in the same situations, people act in different ways towards their secondary territory. Therefore, the current article seeks to find the reason for the difference between the territorial performance of residents of a residential environment. Assuming that the “mental content” affected by people's “lived experience” is the cause of the different performance of people in similar conditions, the focus of this article is to discover the effect of people's "lived experience" on the recognition of their secondary territory. In this direction, with an explanatory approach, used the "Delphi" research method, and in the form of open interviews, asked 10 experts in the field of research to express their views regarding the secondary territory and After 2 rounds coding, we presented the final output in the format of the "content_goal" table.
Then, we designed a questionnaire with 185 questions and questioned 21 experts in this field. The answers of the interviewees were analyzed using SPSS software and manually. Then, to ensure the accuracy of the results, we prepared the second questionnaire based on the 56 common questions of the respondents and asked the same statistical universe again. The similar result between the two stages was the focus of the accuracy of the results obtained in the research process. Thus, 6 main approaches were identified in dealing with people with their own territory:The role of ownership on identity, the role of comfort perception on environmental control, the role of external control on security, the role of identity on ownership, the role of comfort perception on permanence in the environment, the role of internal control on security.
