The research tool is a researcher-made questionnaire that was answered by tourists visiting Kashan. The sample size was calculated by using sample power software to 200 people and was randomly distributed among tourists in Kashan. The research in terms of purpose is applied and in term of nature it is one of the descriptive analytical researches based on field studies. This research has been done for the first time with a comprehensive and systematic approach in the region. The results of the T-test indicate that 5 components of historical, religious-cultural, natural, shopping, location and accessibility attractions are effective. Classifying the effective factors has been performed by structural equation modeling. The factor loading of 0.78 for components of religious-cultural attractions demonstrates that this factor is the most effective issue which motivates traveling to Kashan and it is more effective than other factors. Identifying effective factors in increasing tourists’ inhabitancy duration by factor analysis indicates tourists’ services and facility in Kashan, among the 6 identified factors, has 15.46% of the general variance of the analyzed collection. In other words, the improvement of services and facilities could be more effective in the rise of the tourists’ inhabitancy duration in Kashan.

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.
