Cityscape is the first visual characteristic of a city, which is the result of spatial interactions between land-uses and urban activities. According to the experiences of urban science, an unfavorable urban landscape has a negative impact on all internal processes of the city in the short term, and in the long term, it causes the instability of urban development in various dimensions. Since the structural factors are one of the most important options that form the facade and landscape of the city, the purpose of the present study is to analyze the role of structural-physical factors on the quality of the landscape of Babol city. The present research is done in the central part of Babol city by descriptive-analytical method and data were collected by field methods and questionnaire. SPSS software and Regression method were used for statistical analysis. The results show that the urban landscape of Babol is not in a favorable condition in terms of structural-physical components. On the other hand, indicators such as "access to urban services and facilities and open and green spaces", and "pedestrian and bicycle performance" have respectively had the greatest and least impact on the degree of desirability of the quality of the urban landscape of Babol.

The present study is aimed to provide a model based on which one can maintain the cultural dimension and identity during urban development. A model based on which, one can derive the criteria and identity components for landscape aesthetics. If the aesthetics resulting from the cultural symbol in the aesthetics of the city’s landscape development is applied, the city’s cultural and ethnic dimensions are preserved, thus making each city a unique example with unique attractions. The landscape can be the richest historical document of every city showing its cultural structure. A large part of urban symbols has cultural function. The ethnic cultural symbol is a subset of urban semiotics that can provide the cultural story of an ethnicity in a city to the audience. The lack of management and planning of cultural codes of cities in the form of cultural markings influenced by geography and ethnicity have led to the breakdown of the cultural messages of the landscapes. How to preserve the cultural identity of urban landscapes with regard to ethnic characteristics is the main question of this research that. In other words, can the identity and cultural landscape of the cities be maintained through cultural aesthetics of the symbol? The methodology of this research is qualitative that examines the cultural symbol in the case of Baluch-resident city. Based on a documentary and observation method, required concepts and references were collected and the validity of the proposed hypothesis was examined using the method of inference. For the case study of the adaptation of aesthetics of the cultural symbol, the cities affected by the Baluch ethnicity with their cultural landscape were taken into consideration. The main reason for this choice was: making an effort to preserve the cultural identity of cities in Baluchestan region due to their rich and prevalent ethnic identity during their urbanization development. The findings of the present study showed that the visual aesthetics components hidden in the Baluch folk handicrafts are manifested in the form of warm colors; from the wonderful orange to the red spectrum, geometric forms with sharp edges and mostly triangular forms, dense and prolific texture, complete abstraction and evasion from figuratism. Such components can be sought in terms of color, form, texture, as well as the amount of abstraction or realism in the visual elements of the architecture and urbanization of the Baluchistan cities in Iran
