Evaluation and prioritization of effective dimensions and indicators of the Pattern language on Underground cities in order to achieve localization based on structural-interpretive modeling (Case study: Underground cities of Isfahan province)

Iranian architecture and urban planning, despite its abundance and diversity in various dimensions, is still a place of discovery and research. Based on this, the current research aims to provide a model for prioritizing the effective dimensions and indicators of the pattern language on underground cities and to explain the relationship between these two issues in order to understand underground cities. In this regard, two methods of grounded theory and structural-interpretive modeling have been used to analyze data and achieve research goals. The findings of the research show that this type of architecture can be recognized according to the pattern language in three dimensions, macro, medium, and micro, so that the indicators of the macro dimension are the most influential and the indicators in the middle dimension. have the greatest influence in the localization of architecture and urban planning in Iran today.
