The purpose of this study is to investigate the variables that form the courtyard system of Kashan houses (from a morphological point of view), to improve the climatic comfort of the house in Kashan and to determine the significant of correlation between them. These variables include length, width, height, courtyard elongation, garden pit, pond area, garden area, number of courtyard, number and location of the Sardab and Houzkhane and the orientation of the courtyard. The study area of the old urban fabric of Kashan, which is surrounded by Jalali fort and the statistical population is houses in the old part of city. The type of applied research and descriptive research method is using statistics, analysis based on SPSS outputs and content analysis. In this study, twenty houses were selected as a sample from the statistical population and each of the research variables was reviewed based on field visits and written sources and checked for Pearson correlation and summarized by content analysis and then concluded. This study is innovative in terms of number and type of variables and examining the correlation between variables for the courtyard of Kashan houses. The results show that the central courtyards of Kashan have an average area of 440.6 m2, length 33.8 m, width 17.5 m, body depth 6.75 m, central courtyard elongation 1.38, pond area 48.7 m2 The area of the garden is 86.6 m2, the percentage of the area of the pond from the yard is 10.98, the percentage of the area of the garden from the yard is 19.7, the average number of yards is 1.55, the average number of Sardaab is 1.75, 50% have a pond and 70% have a garden pit and 65% have a southeast orientation. have a . The variables of width and length and yard area and pond area and garden area are correlated with each other and yards with an area of more than 500 square meters have two Sardab.

The purpose of this study was to present an analytical model of morphological dimensions of the entrance, based on the phenomenological approach and study of the main inputs of Tehran. The methodology of this article was based on qualitative- Survey methods. Since the study of urban entrances has not been studied from the perspective of phenomenological approach, research innovation is in terms of approach and case study. Data collection was built upon document analysis, complete observer and questionnaire survey (108 users) and they were analyzed through qualitative – quantitative methods. The results of the expert -based survey showed: All of the entrances to Tehran are inappropriate regarding the identification and semi-appropriate concerning the orientation. The results of the user-based survey confirmed expert-based findings and showed: Saveh with a score of 77.8% in all of the identification dimensions had the worst position and in regard the orientation, its condition was semi-appropriate (56%). Damavand with a score of 66.7% was in the best condition. In relation to the type of environmental characters, Saveh had just natural elements, while Damavand with a score of 88% in green spaces and with a score of 63% in its potential for the activities was in the best position. Karaj was in the next position, because of the physical elements (64%) and unique land uses (66%). Although in all of the entrances, the final level of inside-ness had not existed, in Damavand’s entrance (11%), it existed a little. Based on findings, for having a successful entrance, creating the “identification” and “orientation” should be considered. The innovation of this research is in conducting a study for the city of Tehran.
