Comparative Study of Green Structure Elements in Traditional and New Textures (Case study: Shahreza, Isfahan)

In recent decades, urban green structure approach has been aimed at increasing the environmental and identity problems of new textures in order to help reestablish integrated urban structure to solve environmental problems. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the elements of urban green structure in the traditional and new texture of Shahreza city (in Isfahan) and compare them to create an integrated urban structure throughout the city. This research is applied and descriptive-analytical research based on studying case studies, which first studied the literature review of documents and researches through content analysis method, to explain the theoretical framework of patterns and elements of green structure in Traditional and new texture if cities, and then two traditional and new textures of Shahreza are studied as a comparative study based on theoretical framework components. The findings of this study indicate that Shahreza possesses both micro and macro elements of urban green structure in both traditional and new texture. In the traditional texture, the green spots are the green spaces inside the houses; the green corridors are Madis (water canals); and the green hubs are private gardens. In the new texture, the green spots are the local green spaces; the green corridors are urban Boulevard; and the green hubs are public parks. The result shows the importance of considering urban green structure in integrating correctly with urban form and main urban structure, to provide the possibility of traditional and new textures transplantation and integrated and efficient structure to the city.Keywords:
