Hafez Street in Shiraz, as the axis connecting the Quran Gate to the Isfahan Gate, has lost its visual coherence due to the interventions of recent decades. Therefore, its place in the mental image and perceptual structure of citizens needs to be examined. The purpose of this study is to identify the effect of each of the physical components affecting the visual perception of citizens and to examine the relationship between them. The research method is "survey and correlation" and the required data have been collected through field studies such as photography, mapping and taking notes, as well as questionnaires and documentary studies. The sample size was calculated using the Cochran's formula and the available sampling method was used to complete the questionnaire. Multivariate regression test was used to analyze the data. The results indicate that the "readability" component has the greatest impact on citizens' visual perception, and in the next priorities are the "clarity" and "human scale" components. On the other hand, the "diversity in the environment" has had the least effect on the visual perception of this street. Finally, some strategies were proposed to improve the visual perception of observers in order to improve the performance of existing urban spaces in addition to creating stronger mental images of the city.

The Mehr housing plan was designed to house the lower decks of society in the ninth government. Qualitative-physical dimensions of housing can be investigated from two angles: first, the housing structure as a residential unit, the second is the physical relationship of housing with its residential environment which is a social indicator of the role and place of housing in urban development. Considering the importance of housing and especially Mehr housing, the city of Kerman is investigated and the quality housing components are summarized in order to be used as a model for construction and appraisal of Mehr housing. The purpose of this study is to determine the quality components of Mehr housing in terms of physical characteristics of housing. The question posed in the present study is: which components affect the quality of housing? Based on aim this research is developmental-applied which uses an analytical-descriptive method for data collection. Two models of AHP and TOPSIS have been used for data analysis. Based on their importance, the present study considers six main components in two different categories of "physical and qualitative" alternatives. The components are: housing pattern, housing strength and safety, environmental quality, accessibility, infrastructure, and land use. Analysis of the results indicated that the criterion of the shape and pattern of housing with land-use scale are the most important criteria. Finally, the comparison of the final weight results indicated that the results of qualitative alternative is superior to the other.
