Abstract :

With the advent of the industrial revolution and the changing attitudes and exploits of nature, there has been a rift between urban spaces and natural systems. This has led to the formation of ghostly urban spaces that have nothing to do with the morals, needs, and inherent dependencies of nature on nature. The myriad problems caused by this disruption have become one of the major concerns of urban planners. In this regard, biophilic approach as a new and holistic approach based on nature-based approach in urban spaces, by applying environmental indicators, citizenship and management, seeks urban ecological sustainability. The purpose of this study is to localize the global biophilic indices in the 9th and 10th districts of Tehran metropolitan, while trying to analyze the internal relationships between these indices, to present a model of biophilic city. The research population consists of a group of experts and experts in the fields of geography and urban planning, environment and urban planning. The research method is descriptive-analytical. Using structural equation modeling and pls software, a model is presented to explain and explain the relationships between the biophilic indigenous indices of the city and how the model variables are linked. The results show that biophilic entities and organizations index with path coefficient (5.330), biophilic infrastructure and conditions with path coefficient (4.314), biophilic attitudes and knowledge with path coefficient (3.423) and finally Biophilic activities with path coefficient (2.109) have the most influence on biophilic pattern design, respectively. Based on these results, the principles of moving towards biophilic can be provided by institutions and organizations, managers' policies for nature conservation, formulation and monitoring of biophilic model laws, partnerships, and partnerships. The grassroots activist pointed out the changing attitudes of citizens towards environmental issues, environmental education and more.
