The color is one of the forgotten elements in designing urban spaces that can provide legible and harmonic environment for citizens in Islamic cities, according to the principles, values, beliefs and natural and climatic features. Unfortunately, the rapid growth of the urbanization phenomenon in recent decades, especially in developing countries, has dramatically changed the urban landscape, this case in Iranian cities has led to the lack of precision in using the capabilities of the color element in urban furniture, as a part of the artificial landscapes of the city. As a result it is used without any planning and standards, and thus creates confusion and lack of legibility. Isfahan as one of the most distinguished cities in central region of Iran is one of the best examples that has been able to use the color element in order to improve the quality of urban landscape and historical authenticity, maintaining and promoting its authenticity over the years, by protecting remained historical textures. The purpose of the present study is to identify suitable color factors and codes on urban furniture. In this case study, this factor has been investigated based on urban spaces of central regions of Iran with Islamic dominant culture. This research is done by using descriptive-comparative method and library documents and texts, and also the data was gathered in the context of field studies. The research findings obtained through recognizing the context of the design, statistical data as well as comparing and analyzing the color codes of two study axes (The axis of Hakim Mosque in Hakim neighborhood as the old texture, and the axis of Mohammad Bagher Sadr as the new texture in Isfahan) and also by using internal and external successful experiences and principles of using colors in them, shows that color spectrum integration in single and moving elements of urban furniture increases the legibility and identify of the environment, while using a diverse range of colors for other elements of furniture does not distort the two factors of legibility and identity.

From a linguistic point of view, the city can be seen as a text, consisting of different components and structures being related to each other beyond a sentence. Looking at the city from this point of view, what establishes a syntactic relationship and cohesion and coherence of the components of the city as a common language is called the syntax of the city. Linguistic study of the text of the city requires a branch of linguistics called text linguistics including linguistic rules and elements beyond the sentence. Every literary text arises from the joining of a set of sentences; the relation of these sentences is not just as random as the components of the city text, but the set of all elements and components in a regular relationship creates a structured and coherent whole and provides a harmonious continuum based on certain principles and rules. The combination of these sentences in the city follows both syntactic and semantic rules. Using the principles and rules of linguistics, this paper introduces a methodology for physical and content analysis of the city applying this method for the study of Sar-Tapulah neighborhood of Sanandaj, which is one of the most important neighborhoods of the historical core of this city, in order to evaluate and analyze the criteria of its textuality using urban design techniques and tools. Applying a pathological approach towards this area the paper aims to come up with the strengths and weaknesses of Sar-Tapulah neighborhood based on the textuality criteria. Therefore, the textuality test has been done in this neighborhood based on seven textuality criteria (cohesion, coherence, intertextuality, acceptability, informativity, intention, situationality) using selected urban design techniques and tools. The research findings show Sar-Tapulah neighborhood weak in terms of textuality criteria, and this weakness is due to the deterioration of the neighborhood fabric and lack of attention to the structure of the neighborhood and textuality criteria in its related renovations.

The discussion of man and his alienation in contemporary environments has become an important challenge in environmental psychology studies. Gibson as a theorist in the field of environmental psychology studies, introduces the component of meaning and divides it into six levels, the sixth of which is the ultimate connection between man and the environment. From the audience’s point of view, what is the view towards this issue, and what do they expect from the establishment of meaning levels in educational spaces? In other words, the purpose of the study is to determine the level of students’ expectations of establishing meaning levels and also to determine the relationship between increasing levels and environmental satisfaction of the main audience of such spaces. The research methodology is positivist, with emphasis on quantitative basic data and quantitative research. In the data collection phase, the selected method is a survey method, and in the discussion and analysis phase, the research method is based on statistical reasons and with an explanatory descriptive nature. Gibson’s semantic levels and ideal student status are considered as the two main variables of the study, which are used to determine the correlation relationship between these two variables using Pearson coefficient. Finally, this study concludes that increasing semantic levels in the interior space is more important for the audience of the space and after that the yard has the highest correlation coefficient, but in the entrance space, increasing the semantic levels has an inverse relationship with students’ environmental satisfaction and they do not seek to increase semantic levels in such spaces.
