Measuring the Effectiveness of Spatial-Physical Components Affecting the Interaction of Human Energy with the Environment in the Traditional Houses of the Qajar Era with an Emphasis on the Three Groups of Designers, Users, and Space Users
Main Article Content
Abstract
The science of interaction of energy in the environment is called feng shui, and this has led to the emergence of an ancient philosophy in China, which is used to find the correct arrangement in residential houses so that it can have the best effect on (chi). Residential houses, as the main center of human life, should have the highest level of peace. Historical and traditional houses have a hidden peace inside them, which has diminished with the passage of time. This research has been carried out with the aim of extracting the environmental components effective on the interaction of energy with the surrounding space in residential environments and examines three communities. The research method is a combination of nested qualitative and quantitative type, which first begins with a systematic study in this area to extract effective environmental components, and then the components are extracted, and in the quantitative phase, the verification of the environmental components is focused on feng shui. At this stage, ATLASTI and ORIGINPRO software are used for ease of work. In the group of designers, the lowest coefficient of determination is related to the structure with a value of (0.218) and the highest is related to materials and the presence of nature and furniture with a value of (1.000). In the group of users, the lowest is related to volume combinations with a value of (0.356) and the highest is related to compatibility with the background and color with a value of (1.000).
