In modern houses, spatial and structural relationships and lifestyle have led to changes in the morphology and meaning of housing. The main objective of this research is to evaluate the effective physical.environmental components in open spaces to enhance the sense of place in residential complexes in the middle context of Mashhad. The combined approach of this research is initially based on theoretical foundations and a conceptual model has been extracted. Then, the components of the research model are divided into two categories: quantitative and qualitative. At first,qualitative data was collected based on the direct observation method, and then a comparative qualitative analysis was performed according to the six components of the research. In the quantitative part, based on the results of qualitative analysis from two dimensions,the effective factors on enhancing the sense of place have been investigated: Confirmatory factor analysis and hierarchical analysis. In the first part, the viewpoints of citizens have been analyzed based on five main factors including form, location, furniture and equipment,landscape,location and natural elements of the complex with Lavaan software. The second part, which is related to the review of the experts' questionnaire, the Delphi technique,has also been analyzed with the help of the AHP ranking method and Expert Choice software. Finally in order to increase the sense of belonging to the place in the Sazman Ab complex, some strategies such as Spatial connection and coherence between different spaces of the residential complex, Observance of privacy in the residential space interior design in order to increase the sense of belonging to the place, Using materials and nostalgic elements of identity to create memories and stimulate residents to interact more and feel belonging to the place and Designing flexible and multifunctional spaces can be devoted.

Global warming has made climate change one of the most critical issues in sustainable development. In this regard, recent studies have indicated that the rapid growth in building constructions and the rise in fossil fuel consumption in the building sector have resulted in higher greenhouse gas emissions that can lead to irreversible and significant environmental repercussions. In the last two decades, solar energy systems have been seen as some of the most effective methods to reduce fossil fuel consumption in the industry and minimize its environmental impacts. However, the research in developing countries examining the basic requirements of implementing solar systems in the construction industry is limited. Accordingly, this study attempts to investigate the barriers to implementing solar systems via a systematic literature review. This research has employed a qualitative approach using NVivo to analyze the barriers identified in previous research, adopting descriptive and focused coding approaches. Collecting and classifying barriers help reveal the challenges of using solar energy in construction projects, serve as a basis for further research to localize barriers based on the research area, and tackle them to move towards sustainable development.
