Introducing Model for Evaluating the Quality of Public Spaces Resulting from the Regeneration of Urban Natural Environments Based on Components of Sustainable Landscape

Natural environments are considered among the most important ecological structures of the cities، and if planned correctly، they can result in the sustainability of urban natural processes. This paper، while introducing a new component model for evaluating the quality of natural public spaces، applies its fundamental principles to a particular case study. As well as comparing existing component models، the study examines the component model of sustainable landscape with an emphasis on landscape’s excellence eco-environmental-societal processes، providing the excellence conditions of ‘biological interfaces’، ‘flow of matter and energy’ and ‘societal interactions’. In assessing the model، the Analytic Network Process (ANP) is used to either make the model of internal-external relations or use feedback processes. For gathering the information the study uses the methods of questionnaire، case observation and literature review. The results show that lack of attention to bio-spatial-social interrelations of urban natural spaces causes many damages in continuous sustainability of city’s urban landscape.
