This concept, which is derived from the philosophical foundations and Islamic mysticism, is one of the factors that can induce a sense of spirituality and holiness in places. Therefore, recognizing the basics of spirituality through the concept of hierarchy and using them in spatial planning of Shiraz is a goal that this research seeks to achieve. With this explanation, the present study seeks to analyze the role of the concept of hierarchy in the formation of the foundations of a sense of spirituality in the context of religious spaces. In this study, the sense of spirituality in the context of religious spaces is examined as an independent variable and types of hierarchy as dependent variables. The method used in this research is descriptive-analytical based on library studies and field research.

The results showed that the principles of orientation, passage and geometric order have the greatest impact on the formation of a sense of spirituality in the context of religious spaces, which can be used in the design of urban spaces, especially the context of religious spaces in cities Planners to be placed.
