The growth of urbanization is associated with the increase of mental disorders, and one of the neglected issues in most of the programs and projects related to the environment is the discussion of aesthetics, and the focus of attention is focused on quantitative issues and factors, especially economic factors. The problem of this research is to examine the mental health of residents of residential complexes with the presupposition of the role of aesthetics. This research was done with the aim of improving the mental health of the residents, considering the role of aesthetic components. Explaining the components and standards of mental health and aesthetics and how to realize it in the research sample (Talar Gorgan town) are the questions of the research. Explaining the components and standards of mental health and aesthetics and how to realize it in the research sample (Talar Gorgan town) are the questions of the research. Field research was conducted through random sampling in a statistical sample (301 people) and using a Likert scale questionnaire, approved in spss software. The results of the studies are presented using descriptive tests, mean, one-sample t-test, correlation, regression and path analysis in spss software. The findings show that there is a significant negative relationship and correlation between the two variables of aesthetics and mental health, and only two variables of gender and length of stay have a direct and negative effect on the variable of mental health. The research results and architectural solutions to improve the mental health of the residents have been presented with regard to perception.

In recent decades, mental health is one of the basic factors in the lives of citizens in developed countries. Paying attention to the fact that a large part of citizens' time is spent in urban spaces, it is important to pay attention to the physical components that lead to improving the mental health of citizens. The aim of this research is to investigate the effect of physical components on the components of improving the mental health of citizens in the urban spaces of Tabriz. This study was conducted in terms of practical purpose and correlation method. First, research components were extracted in two categories: mental health components and physical components of urban spaces based on scientific principles, and then a questionnaire was designed to evaluate the effect of physical components on mental health. In this article, the statistical population is the citizens of Tabriz city, who use the two urban spaces of Ainali and El-Goli as the most important collective spaces. according to Cochran's formula, the sample size was determined as 384 people, the questionnaires were analyzed using Spearmon's correlation coefficient test in SPSS software. The physical components include spatial diversity, space flexibility, environmental issues, climate comfort, environmental facilities, privacy, legibility and visual beauty, and mental health including a sense of peace, personal security, mental images. Providing needs, happiness, sense of belonging and social interactions. The highest correlation belongs to the component of spatial diversity with the component of providing needs (0.478) and the lowest correlation to the component of climate comfort with the component of personal security (0.104). According to the findings of this article, the correlation between more than 90% of the physical and mental components is strong or moderate, and this result shows that the physical components have a high impact on the mental health of citizens.

A healthy city is a city that continuously improves its physical, social, and cultural environments, develops its resources, and ensures public health. In recent years, the increasing trends of environmental pollution, unemployment, poverty, poor housing, and social and psychological harms as well as industrialization and the spread of epidemic diseases have decreased the quality of the urban living environment. Noorabad City, like many other cities, is facing many problems such as worn-out structures, inadequate housing, lack of social and health services, and noise pollution. These problems will cause serious damage to the health of the environment and citizens. The present study employs a descriptive-analytical method for final evaluation and data analysis. This study uses t-test and structural equation modeling to explain and model the effects. The results of the t-test of the sample showed that the status of healthy city indicators in the study area with an average of 2.51 is not in an acceptable situation and is estimated to be poor. Analysis of the findings of structural equation modeling indicates that the amount of factor load of the root mean square error (RMSE) is equal to 0.079, which indicates the desirability of the research model. Also, the analysis of the second-order factor model showed that the health dimension has the highest factor load with a weight of 0.94 and the lowest factor load belongs to the physical dimension with a factor weight of 0.64. In order to promote the indicators of a healthy city and balanced distribution of services and facilities, spatial policies and planning should be based on creating a platform for attracting more private sector investment and directing them to disadvantaged areas where the role of urban management and related organizations is very important.

Today, public spaces in cities are more than ever the scene of the presence and manifestation of the collective and daily life of citizens, for this reason these spaces play a significant role in the mental health of citizens. The main purpose of this article is to investigate the role of public spaces in the mental health of citizens of Region 2 of Kermanshah Municipality. This article is based on the purpose of applied research and based on the nature of a descriptive and analytical research. Library method and questionnaire tool were used to collect data. For this purpose, 384 citizens of the 2nd region of Kermanshah were selected as a statistical population using Cochran's formula, and questionnaires were distributed among them by a simple random method and information was collected. The results of the research showed that women's mental health in public spaces is at a higher level than men's, but there is no significant difference in mental health between single and married people, but there is a significant difference in mental health between owners and tenants. and people who own their own residential houses have better mental health than renters. Also, the results of examining the indicators of public spaces and the level of mental health using the Pearson correlation test indicate that the correlation between urban public spaces and the mental health of citizens is at a significant level of 0.001, the correlation coefficient is equal to 0.183, which indicates that the relationship There is a strong relationship between the components of public spaces and the level of mental health of citizens

The increase in urban population and the expansion of urbanization have had various physical, social, environmental, and economic consequences for cities and their citizens, especially psychological consequences; On the other hand, it can be said that contact with nature in today's cities in the form of urban green spaces in various scales plays a significant role in reducing mental and psychological problems. Hence, urban green infrastructure planning, considering spatial/physical qualities to improve citizens' mental health, can play a role in transforming urban spaces into supportive environments. Green infrastructures have become influential components not only in their content, but also in their impact on their surrounding areas' physical, environmental, and social values in recent decades. The main aim of this research is to test and analyze the relationship between urban green infrastructure and citizens' mental health in the surrounding area of Park-e-Mellat to enjoy the capacities of such spaces in promoting urban health. In this article, we have attempted to investigate the relationship between the surrounding area of the urban park and its effect on mental health through document and field methods (interview and questionnaire). Thematic analysis using semi-structured interviews with 14 space users was performed using MAXQDA software. In the second stage, using the fuzzy Delphi technique, the final results were obtained with 10 experts in two rounds of the questionnaire. The research method is based on an interpretive paradigm, with a mixed approach in the first part of qualitative thematic analysis and the second part of fuzzy Delphi. The findings, in the form of four main themes: the quality of the physical environment, mental health, physical health, and social health, defined ten qualities for green infrastructure planning to improve citizens' mental health.

The quality of urban environments and mental health interact with each other, and the quality of urban environments affects people's mental health. Considering that one of the important dimensions of the quality of urban environments is the physical-physical dimension.. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to measure the physical-physical quality of the urban environment with an emphasis on the mental health of citizens, which was carried out on a case-by-case basis in Region 3 of Ardabil city. Is. The upcoming research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical in nature. In order to measure the physical-physical quality of the studied neighborhoods, 5 indicators (accessibility, beauty and visual order, functional attractiveness, physical form and facilities of the residential unit) were used. The validity of the research was obtained by using face validity, and the reliability of the questionnaire was obtained using Cronbach's alpha of 0.830. Then, based on simple stratified random sampling, 480 people were questioned in order to analyze the data and prioritize the localities in terms of quality. Physical-Physical COPRAS multi-criteria decision making model was used in Excel environment. According to the findings of the research and the results of the COPRAS model, among the localities of the 3rd region of Ardabil city, Hafez has the best status and the first place with the highest score, followed by Rezvan, Azadi, Azadegan in the second to fourth position. are favorable and Malabashi and Melayoussef neighborhoods are in the most unfavorable situation and the last place with the lowest percentage. Due to the importance of the quality of urban environments in the mental health of citizens, more and more detailed planning is felt in order to improve the physical-physical condition of the neighborhoods and then improve the level of mental health of citizens.

The alarming and increasing trend of factors threatening the health of citizens; City and health planners propose a relatively new term called health planning, in which they seek to connect the urban environment and landscape with the physical and mental health of city dwellers and make their decisions regarding some basic issues such as health. strengthen urban ecology, social welfare and improve the quality of human life. The purpose of the current research is to investigate the state of the environment and the urban landscape and its relationship with the mental health of the citizens of Paveh. The research is of applied type and in terms of descriptive analytical method. The statistical population is the citizens of Paveh city 380 people were selected as a statistical sample using Cochran's formula. In order to collect information a questionnaire containing questions about the About the environment and urban landscape and mental health of citizens has been used. To analyze the questionnaire, t-test, Friedman, Pearson correlation coefficient were used. The results show that in the indicators of environment, security, communication and transportation network, housing, commercial and cultural, design and furniture, people's participation and education; The average is average and slightly higher than the average value of 3 But in the economic index, the average is lower than the average and the situation is not good. The results of the Friedman test showed that the indicators have different importance and the environmental index was the most important. Also, the results of Pearson's correlation coefficient between the examined components related to the environment and urban landscape and mental health of citizens showed that there is a significant relationship between them. Examining the degree of correlation also shows that this relationship is direct.

From the beginning of human civilization, man has always been in search of happiness. Aristotle believed that "happiness is the ultimate meaning and purpose of life" (Chen & Zhang, 2018). Happiness and mental health are the most important factors of public health. Assessing the extent to which our place of residence can affect our emotions and overall qualities of life has always been one of the most important theoretical and empirical topics in the various professions of human geography, urban and regional studies, urban design and planning, and assurance. Citizens’ high quality of life in all its objective and mental dimensions is one of the most important concerns of managers and urban planners around the world (Moore et al., 2018 and Ballas, 2013).Designing and planning to improve people’s health in many scientific circles, especially since the early 90s in the 20th century, have been already discussed. However, the researchers’ main problem in this field has been addressing people’’s physical health and neglecting the issue of the impacts of urban spaces on citizens’ mental, emotional, and spiritual health conditions (Pfeiffer & Cloutier, 2016).In general, the spaces of urban neighborhoods should be in a way that they provide citizens with easy access to interactive and green and public environments ensure their healthy physical and mental lives, and make a positive feeling in them. It is clear that having positive face-to-face experiences in the neighborhood can affect the level of citizen happiness (Han et al., 2019).Given that mental health requires extensive studies to determine a specific framework of factors affecting it, this research was innovative in this regard. Also, considering that the outputs of theoretical studies are evaluated in the context of urban spaces, they can be a suitable source for implementation of practical measures and fill the gap between thought and action. Therefore, doing this research was necessary.According to the definitions provided by the World Health Organization, an individual’s happiness and mental health is affected not only by intrapersonal characteristics, but also by social and economic factors related to some other environmental components, such as safety. Existence of environments for leisure time, existence of green spaces and vegetation, vitality of the environment, etc. have all been considered as factors that are related to individuals’ levels of happiness and mental health (Hoisington et al., 2019; Wu et al., 2014;Firdaus, 2017;and Melis et al., 2015).Various studies have shown that citizens’ quality of life is directly related to their living environments. In the meantime, the public spaces of cities are of special importance as a platform that provides the ground for collective life and can strengthen or weaken citizens’ health. In general, the artificial environment is one of the most influential determinants and prerequisites for citizens’ health. In many studies, its impact on various aspects of health has been examined. Among them, citizens' mental health and happiness are the most influential dimensions that are strongly influenced by urban structures and environments (Melis et al., 2015).According to Choe (2012), "Of the main concerns of urban designers and planners in different cities, especially in the old and worn-out contexts of cities, are reduction of citizens’ quality of life and their loss of vitality, as well as reduction of the physical quality of the environment." "It is a concept that seems almost difficult to define. This concept is mainly definedbylife satisfaction, mental comfort, and enjoyment for well-being and security (Choe, 2012).Urban neighborhoods and streets have a special role in attracting people to the public space of cities and are very important for the city vitality and its inhabitants. This is while the growing trend of using vehicles has reduced the social role of cities and this issue has led to less human interactions in cities and paying more attention to cars and the need for motor vehicles (Horijani, 1397).Therefore, in the profession of urban design and planning, creating a context to provide spaces that can improve the residents’ positive feelings and emotions and reduce their negative emotions is necessary and undeniable. Accordingly, the effort to create a happy atmosphere for citizens in the society that can provide them with a peace of mind. This should be considered as one of the main tasks of social institutions, such as municipalities, city councils, and urban management systems in general. Due to the importance of the issue and lack of a comprehensive and useful research on it in Sanandaj, this study was done to make a comparison between two different neighborhoods with worn and new structures and different social contexts in Sanandaj City.

The present study was based on a descriptive-analytical method in terms of purpose and data collection was done in the two ways of library and field studies. To achieve the research objective, which was investigation of environmental qualities affecting the citizens’ happiness in Sanandaj City, the necessary framework was identified and extracted by reviewing the existing sources and documents and then a questionnaire was used to collect the background data.To answer the research questions, Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests, one-way analysis of variance, and regression analysis were utilized, as well as SmartPLS software. To test normality of the research variables Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was applied. The results related to the citizens’ different levels of vitality, mental health, and happiness and also differences in urban design qualities in both neighborhoods were used via one-way variance to evaluate the effectiveness of qualities. Urban design was used on the level of the citizens’ mental health.Also, using regression analysis, different levels of each of the urban design qualities in the mentioned neighborhoods were studied through statistical calculations. Finally, SmartPLS software was employed to develop structural equation modeling and provide suggestions.Considering the importance of looking at cities for citizens' happiness and joy, the main purpose of this study was to explain the framework of urban design qualities that affected the citizens’ mental health and happiness.

From the structural equation model of the research, it could be stated that the research hypotheses were confirmed with 95% confidence and the quality components of urban design had a positive and significant effect on the citizens’ mental health. Also, based on beta coefficients, it was clear that the components of perceptual and transportation qualities had the most and least impacts on the citizens’ mental health and happiness, respectively.In general, evaluations of the components of functional quality, transportation quality, ecosystem quality, perceptual quality, visual quality, social environment quality, and total time quality (coefficient of determination: 97%) related to health changes determined the citizens’ mental health and the rest of changes in the citizens’ mental health were related to other factors that were outside the scope of this study. Table 13: Structural equation results (source: authors) mental health Ecosystem Quality 0.31 3.84 Confirmation Positive mental health Perceptional Quality 0.77 7.37 Confirmation Positive mental health   Visual Quality 0.53 6.78  Confirmation Positive mental health Social Environment Quality 0.50 6.13 Confirmation Positive mental health = Time Quality 0.41 4.15 Confirmation Positive mental health  Urban Design Quality 0.94 240.52 Confirmation Positive |t|>1.96 significant at P<0.05, |t|>2.58 significant at P<0.01

The results of the statistical analyses showed that based on what was asked in the first question, the residents of the two different neighborhoods of Sanandaj located in the two different types of traditional and developed contexts enjoyed life on different levels of satisfaction , mental health, vitality, and happiness, which could be attributed to the differences in the levels of some environmental qualities, such as environmental sensory richness, attractive visual qualities, and existence of different spaces for them to stop and spend time. Leisure time could create a ground for improving the residents’ social interactions in the two neighborhoods.The results obtained in this study are consistent with the results of the studies of Zuniga-Teran et al. (2017), Pfeiffer et al. (2016), Cao (2016), Taheri and Taheri (1398), and Abrun et al. (1397).Regarding the impacts of environmental qualities on the citizens’ levels of mental health, the studied qualities, i.e., functional quality, quality of transportation, quality of ecosystem, perceptual quality, visual quality, quality of social environment, and quality of time, could be mentioned as the factors affecting their health.In addition, it could be stated that the existence of such qualities could be the definitive environmental predictors that ensured part of the citizens’ mental health that was affected by the environment and urban design qualities. These results are consistent with the results obtained by Han et al. (Impacts of Access to Parks and Green Spaces on Mental Health) (Han & Kim, 2019), Wales (Impacts of Sense of Safety and Security on Mental health and Well-being) (Wills, 2014), Zhang et al. (The Effects of Different Environmental Qualities on Mental Health and Happiness) (Chen et al., 2018), Griff et al. (The Effects of the Physical and Social Structures of the Environment on the Health and Mental Stress of Citizens) (Greif & Dodoo, 2015), Taheri et al. (The Effect of Physical Environment on Citizens' Satisfaction with the Environment and Their Happiness) (Taheri and Taheri, 2009), and Abron et al., 1397), thus confirming their results and completing their studies.The research results emphasized the importance of urban design in the citizens’ mental health. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the citizens’ happiness based on the research approach, besides including the related courses of urban design for obtaining the master's degree at the university, the criteria of a happy city based on the results of the present research and other similar researches, as well as the related experiences gained by the relevant organizations in Iran so as to take valuable steps for achieving the goal of Masharaliyeh in the medium and long term.

Review Nowadays, marginal health in tehran, Mashhad, Tabriz and Kermanshah are one of the most important management challenges in the country. The aim of this study was to evaluate and measure the mental health of women living in the city in two marginal areas and the main text of the city and the impact of marginalization on them. The type of applied research and the method used descriptive-analytical and for data collection, library and field methods (questionnaires) have been used. The statistical comprehensive of this study is women living in the city that based on Cochran's formula, 384 questionnaires were distributed in Tehran, Mashhad, Tabriz and Kermanshah randomly in two marginal regions and the main text of the city. In addition to descriptive and inferential tests, logit model has been used to analyze the effect of marginalization on women's mental health. The findings showed that mental health status in the main text of the city is higher than the margins of the city. The average of the main text of the city from the perspective of urban women is 2.79 and for urban margins is 2.22. Also, the results of logit model showed that with increasing marginalization of mental health of women in the first situation (disease) increases by 35%, but in border condition this variable is effective and the amount of this variable in normal mental health is 0.29%, which indicates that if the person is in normal mental health condition. The effect of marginalization

The issue of health and mental health is one of the hidden goals in the urban regeneration approach that has been less discussed so far. Also, urban regeneration, as it is currently pursued in the country, has serious problems in terms of supporting mental health indicators. On the other hand, the effects of such projects on various aspects of mental health are not well known. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to the pathology of urban regeneration programs to support mental health indicators.

In this study, a survey method based on semi-structured interviews and completing a weighting questionnaire of experts was used. Snowball sampling was performed on 17 experts in the form of three groups of “academic researchers”, “experts in the field of urban regeneration” and “managers of Tehran urban management institutions” and the results were analyzed using open and axial coding techniques. Then, the dimensions affecting mental health in urban regeneration projects were evaluated in the form of a 39-item questionnaire using the effect spectrum method.

An urban regeneration program to support mental health components should create 8 positive features and prevent 4 negative features. These dimensions are the externalities or external effects of projects that can be measured in the form of impact assessment techniques. Barriers to achieving a mental health support rehabilitation program can also be pursued in three areas: “policy approaches”, “preparation and implementation process” and “monitoring and evaluation process”. According to other results, the negative consequences of current rehabilitation programs on mental health are greater than their positive consequences, the most important of which are “discrimination and inequality” and “stress and anxiety”.

In order to integrate the components of mental health as much as possible in the heart of regeneration programs, the mechanisms related to policy-making, preparation, approval, implementation, and monitoring of these programs should be changed and fundamentally revised.

Following the outbreak of Covid-19 disease in late 2019 and the adoption of policies such as home quarantine, telecommuting, home-based education and other similar measures, concerns was raised about the negative consequences of these measures on the society mental health. Therefore, the present study seeks to analyze the role of environmental quality in urban areas in maintaining the citizens’ mental health during the Covid-19 epidemic. The research method is analytical-interpretive and based on documentary studies and field survey. In the first step, the main environmental variables at the neighborhood scale were extracted from valid articles to be used to compile a questionnaire. The Dass-21 standard questionnaire was also used to assess the mental health of individuals. The statistical population includes citizens of Kermanshah, and 200 people were randomly selected as a sample. The validity of the environmental quality questionnaire has been confirmed by receiving the opinion of urban planning experts and its reliability has been confirmed with Cronbach's alpha test. Then, the data obtained from the questionnaires were entered into SPSS software and evaluated using exploratory factor analysis and focal correlation analysis. Findings show that the environmental quality categories into 5 factors: "Functional Structure", "Environmental Comfort", "Quality of Urban Space", "Visual Image" and "Social scape". Also, the output of the focal correlation analysis confirms the existence of a correlation between environmental factors and mental health. According to the findings, during the Covid-19 epidemic, the two factors "Functional Structure" and "Visual Image" had the most relationship with the society mental health. This research is particularly important because the repetition of risks similar to future Covid-19 epidemics is not unexpected. At the same time, in Iran, not much research has been done, especially with a quantitative nature and based on valid statistical models.

In recent years, the benefits of walkability in the field of public health are such that the ability of urban walkability has become a key issue in the program of healthy cities of the world. The two main questions in this study are “What is the effect of walkability of urban areas on physical and mental health (public health) of the youth?” and "Will the general health of the young people increase with improving the walkability?" The research method is applied in terms of purpose, cross-section in terms of time, and mixed in terms of nature. The concept of walkability was introduced as an independent variable along with the explanation of its criteria. In a survey, a 28-item GHQ questionnaire was used to assess general health in young people. This questionnaire consists of four criteria with seven questions in each of them. These four criteria are: physical symptoms, anxiety symptoms and sleep disorders, social action and depressive symptoms. Then, in a field study, the following measures were used to assess the walkability: mixed uses, pedestrian attractive zones, pedestrian and bicycle network connection, access to mass transit, road safety and security. According to the ranks of the regions in terms of walkability and public health, it is observed that this is not a completely direct relationship and in all four scales of general health, this relationship is different. It is concluded that walkability in urban areas affects the mental health of young people more than it affects their physical health.

Inadequate conditions of urban public spaces affect the physical and mental dimensions of children and adolescents. Urban and residential insecurity, isolation, depression and social disruption in urban areas are chronic urban and environmental factors. Designing open public spaces and urban neighborhoods in accordance with the comfort and mental and physical health of citizens is one of the goals of sustainable urban design that has expanded in recent years, especially in developed countries, and providing design guidelines and criteria for mental comfort and The happiness, health and safety of citizens have been the result of such an approach.The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of urban public spaces on the mental health of children and adolescents. The method of the present study was applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-correlational in terms of research method. The instrument of the present study was the 28-item Child Health Questionnaire.For data analysis, SPSS 23 software and structural equation model (AMOS) were used. The results of regression analysis showed that urban spaces affect the psychosocial health of children. The relationship between urban spaces and social, behavioral and emotional limitations is -0.48, the relationship between urban spaces and self-esteem is 0.71, the relationship between urban spaces and mental health is 0.63 and the relationship between urban spaces and problems with family is -0.54.

The prevalence of chronic health problems is increasing, both in terms of physical health and mental health in modern societies. Meanwhile, the health of individuals in society as human capital is important in advancing the goals of thematic communities. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of physical-environmental factors on the mental health of citizens. This research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical method. The statistical population of citizens living in Ardabil was estimated to be 384 using the Cochranchr(chr('39')39chr('39'))s formula. The field data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire whose validity was confirmed by formal validity and reliability using Cronbachchr(chr('39')39chr('39'))s alpha test and combined reliability. The results of this study showed that legibility and visual quality, access to urban green space, security of urban space, quality of urban furniture, mixing and variety of uses have a positive and significant effect on the mental health of citizens. Considering the value of the path coefficient obtained for the independent research variables, among the identified variables, the quality of urban green space with the path coefficient value of 0.44 had the highest path coefficient and had the greatest effect on the dependent variable, ie mental health of citizens. Also, the mixing variable and the variety of uses with a path coefficient value of 0.21 had the least effect on mental health.

In the present world and with the development of cities and urbanization, citizens’ mental health is at risk. In other words, rapid growth of the cities can be considered as one of the threats to the environment which influence the residents of the cities i.e. humans by devastating effects on their soul and body. Studies have shown that the quality of the constructed life environments and urban neighborhoods affects the citizens’ mental health. If we accept that the quality of the constructed environments affects the mental health, in this physical environment housing plays an important role in the indicators of mental health, because people spend much of their time at home and their residential environment. With this approach, this research is mainly aimed at investigating the mutual relationship of different patterns of residential densities on the indicators of the citizens’ mental health in Mardavich neighborhood, Isfahan.

The main goal of this research is investigating the mutual relationship between quantitative indicators of housing and the citizens’ mental health. In this regards, independent variables include different types of housing patterns, household density in the residential unit, and density of peoples living in a room. Depression and perceived stress are dependant variables of the research. For measuring people’s stress, perceived stress scale by Cohen et al. (1983) was used and for measuring depression, the second edition of depression questionnaire by Beck et al. (BDI-II) was used. The research population includes the households living in Mardavich neighborhood. Regarding the fact that no precise statistics were available, for filling the questionnaires, 250 questionnaires were distributed among the households and at the end, 231 correctly filled questionnaires were gathered.

One of the independent variables of the research is housing pattern. In this research, the respondents’ homes were analyzed in three classes including house, apartment, and high-rise residential complexes. The results showed that the average depression and perceived stress in houses and apartments are much lower than high-rise residential complexes. Statistically, there is an almost strong relationship between different housing patterns and mental health indicators. The second independent variable of the research is building density. The results of the present research showed that with the increase of building density, the average scores of depression and perceived stress also increase. Statistically, building density has a relationship with the variable of depression with the correlation coefficient of 0.518 and also, it has a relationship with perceived stress with the correlation coefficient of 0.464. The other independent variable of the research is the per capita residential land. The results of the present research showed that there is a negative relationship between the per capita housing and mental health indicators. Actually, with the increase of per capita housing and allocation of more land area to every individual, stress and depression will be decreased. Statistically, the correlations between the indicator of per capita housing and the dependant variables i.e. depression and perceived stress are respectively equal to 0.447 and 0.373. The forth independent variable of the research is the density of people living in a room. According to the obtained results, with the increase of people density in a room, depression and perceived stress will also increase. Statistically, people density in a room has a significant and positive relationship with depression and perceived stress with the respective correlation coefficients of 0.405 and 0.380. In the following, for investigating the fact that which of the independent variables has a stronger effect on perceived stress and depression, modeling of the changes of depression and perceived stress levels is done based on quantitative indicators of housing by stepwise linear regression. According to the results, significance level of F statistics for the indicators of perceived stress and depression is equal to 0.000 in the proposed models. This finding which is the result of regression analysis by variance analysis suggests that the research conceptual model has an appropriate goodness of fit. The results of perceived stress showed that for the changes of this indicator, we can propose a model based on the indicator of building density. It means that of the four independent variables, building density has the strongest effect on perceived stress. Finally based on the proposed model, building density can predict 47 percent of the changes of this indicator. According to the proposed models, the two indicators of building density and people density in a room are introduced as the predictive indicators of the variable of depression. Actually, the results of stepwise linear regression analysis for the variable of depression showed that two models can be proposed for the changes of this variable. In the first model, building density is the only predictive indicator which predicts 51.9 percent of the changes of depression. In the second model, the two indicators of building density and people density in room can respectively predict 42.6 and 16.7 percent of the changes of depression. Conclusion In general, it can be stated that all the independent variables of the research i.e. the quantitative indicators of housing have a significant relationship with mental health indicators i.e. depression and perceived stress. So, this research hypothesis which is consistent with many other works is approved and it suggests that there is a significant relationship between quantitative indicators of housing and mental health indicators. Therefore, by improving the quantitative indicators of housing, people’s mental health can be improved. This fact suggests that the communication between housing planning experts and psychologists should be strengthened more than the past in order to be able to control the negative effect of increased density on mental health indicators.

One of the pillars of health assessment of various communities is the mental health of that community. Undoubtedly mental health plays an important role in ensuring the dynamics and efficiency of each community. With the formation of urban abandoned spaces, there is actually a kind of inner-city decline, which coincides with the growth of the city's expansion in marginal areas, the lack of attention to this issue can increase the more dispersed urban prevalence and increase the urban development process Unstable, and endangers the mental health of the community in learning and social interactions, and affects the performance and efficiency of individuals. The present research is a qualitative research method and the research method is descriptive-analytic. Regarding the subject, data collection has been conducted in two documentary and survey methods, in which the theoretical foundations, survey indicators and census data were collected in documentary and libraries, and in order to examine the indicators in Mashhad metropolitan area, the required data are collected from field surveying techniques including field surveys, interviews with citizens. An evaluation of the HIA method has been used.
