Abstract

The purpose of this article is to analyze and identify the factors affecting the sense of place in religious-cultural buildings and to promote these factors in order to enrich the sense of place in these buildings. The research method is descriptive-analytical. The statistical population is determined based on Morgan table = 78n = n. What distinguishes this research from its similar researches is the analysis and study of the components of sense of place in Ali Ibn Mahziar's tomb as the most significant shrine building in Ahvaz, which has not been researched in this field so far. The results of Pearson test, while confirming the correlation of all criteria and sub-criteria with the sense of place, show; The variable of peace and spirituality has the highest and the variable of security has the lowest correlation with the amount of sense of place. According to the results of regression test, perceptual and physical dimensions have the most effect and functional and social dimensions have less effect on inducing a sense of place in the shrine. The results show that in addition to the four components of physical, semantic, social and service, other components are involved in creating a sense of place in tombs and religious buildings.
Therefore, it is possible to deepen the sense of place among pilgrims in pilgrimage buildings and religious tombs by providing more grounds for both physical and semantic components.
