Relationship between Social-Spatial Mental Schema and Observers' Tranquility in Urban Green Highways (Case Study: Modarres Highways)

The aim of this article is to investigate the relationship between the observers’ tranquility and creating mental schemas in the corridor of the green urban highway. Tranquility is the one that can cause memories and sense of belonging by locating in mind. Being unique and criterion cause quick images to remain in minds and these elements cause the space to become an indicator of spatial identity. To become a tranquiller and memorable space and to remain in minds some schemes should be created in minds and this is the fundamental condition. Furthermore, the space should have a definite and unique identity. Statistical analysis included descriptive and inferential techniques. The findings show that, in designing the urban highways paying attention to spatial-social schemas is one of the main components for generating tranquil of highway margin by criteria. According to the results of the analysis of experimental findings, it seems that considering spatial-social schemes are one of the main components of creating a reliable and tranquil environment for bystanders who visit routes such as highways. According to the results of this study, there is a linear relationship and a high correlation between tranquility and creating mental spatial and social schemes. It means to make a space tranquil and memorable some schemes should be created in minds to make the space effective and persistent. Several sequences and focus points in the special parts can lead us to have a convergence mental schema.
