In recent years, living in residential complexes can be considered one of the most important developments in housing, which has become a form of contemporary living and housing in cities. Also, with the excessive growth of residential complexes and their physical development, we sometimes see a decline in the quality of residential spaces, which has caused various problems in the lives of the residents of these complexes. In this regard, the crises arising from apartment living have created a wide range of mental disorders, such as stress, anxiety, depression, etc. The current research is based on the evaluation and analysis of the impact of the physical components of the environment on mental health; so that the results may open the way for the design of healthy and growing residential spaces. In order to measure people's mental health and examine the environmental elements, the GHQ-12 standard questionnaire was used, and the environment's physical components were taken into consideration. Also, a researcher-made questionnaire was prepared based on the environment's influential physical components. This questionnaire was answered by 340 residents of different residential complexes in Shiraz, and SPSS software was used to analyze and process the information. The findings of the present research show that the physical environment of residential complexes has a fundamental role in life quality and consequently has the greatest negative impact on the mental health of the residents. As a result, it has been determined that there is a reliable relationship between human health and the surrounding physical environment. Also, it concluded that to ensure the mental health of residents, the physical components of residential environments should be taken into consideration and designers should try to improve and fix their defects.

Attending the dental office and being on the unit for examination is not so easy and relaxing. One of the problems that causes people not to go to the dentist on time is fear and anxiety. this research was conducted with the aimed of evaluating the effective criteria for reducing anxiety in design of dental clinics. Therefore, a comparative - comparative method was used to conduct the research and the required information was also collected using library and document methods in order to identify and categorize the factors affecting anxiety reduction in dental clinics and after that, according to these components, a few samples of dental clinics were examined and analyzed in the forms of tables and graphs in the article, and the components of each case sample were studied and investigated separately to achieve the purpose of the research. The results of the data show that environmental factors such as light, color, form and furniture have a greater effect than human factors such as the appropriate design of the entrance, legibility and access and creating integration between the interior and exterior spaces, on reducing anxiety in the design of dental clinics. The amount of this effect in natural factors such as the presence of atrium and green apace, yard design according to the climate, noise control with light music and interaction with nature reaches its lowest level compared to other factors.

Security remains a fundamental human need within society. The safety and well-being of vulnerable groups, particularly children, who constitute one of the most at-risk segments of society, hold particular significance. An active human presence contributes significantly to enhancing security in urban spaces. The ability to comprehend and observe the surrounding environment, as well as being visible to others, fosters a sense of security. The current research employs a blended quantitative and qualitative approach, involving a research community comprising 25 experts. These experts were selected through an open interview framework, utilizing a purposeful sampling method with the snowball technique. The gathered opinions were subsequently analyzed using SPSS26 software. According to the coefficients obtained from the variables, graphs were generated by Gefi software. Ultimately, the indicators extracted from the first and second stages of the survey underwent analysis using Depth Map software. The integration of the plan analysis with the generated graphs from the previous stage was deliberated using AGraph software. Based on the results, users are mostly looking for spaces that are efficient in attracting people when choosing urban parks for the safety of their children. Especially adults, and allow parents to monitor the space. Cultural spaces with a rating of 4.46 in urban parks are the main factor in attracting people for public participation.

Gated communities have become a popular trend in residential development worldwide, which vary in size and type and have widespread negative impacts on urban life, public spaces, social cohesion, and governance. It is ranged from security concerns to lifestyle preferences due to their formation differing across regions. The present research evaluated development, history, dimensions, and outcomes of residential gated communities. In addition, it explores the reasons for choosing gated communities in Yazd. The research involved a qualitative approach, including questionnaires and interviews with residents. Most residents in Yazd do not prefer gated communities as a long-term lifestyle, instead opting for traditional apartment living. Economic incentives, such as government-provided housing loans, play a significant role in residents' choices. Understanding the impacts and motivations behind gated community development helps shed light on the complexities of this prevalent trend in residential development.

The smartening of cities does not only mean the growth of technology and mechanization, but when it is smart and optimal in all socialcultural, economic, environmental, and governance fields, it is called a smart city . One of the necessities of making cities smarter is using less energy resources and creating maximum efficiency. In recent years, the technology employment has become important to speed up the process of daily work and improve the quality of life; however, it has not been formed in a comprehensive and integrated way. This research aimed to investigate the feasibility of smart city indicators in Tabriz. The feasibility of six basic components of a smart city in social, political, environmental and other fields has been investigated. The current research method is a library and questionnaire. Considering the specialization of intelligence and the requirements of its realization, the extracted questionnaire was completed with the cooperation of professors and experts. The results were analyzed in SPSS software. Based on Cronbach's numbers, Tabriz city has been in a relatively favorable situation in terms of realizing the characteristics of a smart city. But in general, this city cannot be called smart.
