Abstract

Landscape design involves functional as well as perceptive and imaginative aspects of space. It is this particular combination, which is essential to making contemporary landscapes more attractive. Legibility is a quality of the environment that clarifies the city and makes the city's image better remembered. In urban parks, the components of spatial Legibility can create different degrees of Territorial behavior in citizens. According to Lynch's theory, these components include the Legibility of paths, nodes, dis tricts, edges, and landmarks. Therefore, the impact of urban parks Legibility on several users and reaching a Territorial behavior in these spaces formed the present s tudy's focus. Territory refers to the part of urban spaces that individuals or groups regularly and consis tently benefit from and protect agains t intruders and outsiders because of their sense of belonging and ownership of the area. Any personalization and marking in the environment or defense agains t harassment is considered a form of Territorial behavior. Territorial behavior is one of the social dimensions of urban spaces. The quality and way of its occurrence are related to the quality of urban public spaces. In other words, citizens' attitudes and levels of Territorial behaviors interact with the criteria by which they evaluate an urban public space as favorable, with high quality. Strengthening territories in parks create an environment that will give users a sense of belonging and ultimately lead to increased Social interactions in the urban environment. The purpose of this research is to s tudy the process of the impact of Legibility and how to apply methods to improve Territorial behavior in urban parks. This research used a descriptive-analytical research method, followed by a survey to serve the empirical research aspect. The paper claims that the proper path widths, recognizable entrances, dis tinguished dis tricts, and the ease of comprehension of the space are useful and considered by the citizens to be very desirable and necessary to create Legibility. Also, having different people in a park and being comfortable and flexible is one of the mos t vital factors in enhancing the sense of ownership and defensiveness of a place. To enhance territoriality and unders tand the space, it is necessary to consider the criteria by which citizens evaluate Legibility because of differing the Legibility assessment criteria in diverse parks. The design of spaces should also consider the citizens' diversity and cultural differences and create spaces appropriate to the people who use that place, following the social and cultural context. The results show that Legibility indicators mus t exis t together in one space to make that space unders tandable from citizens' viewpoint. Moreover, this unders tanding will ultimately enhance the sense of ownership and Territory. Physical Legibility is analyzed through variables such as geometry, spatial s tructure and configuration, visual barriers and disruptions, access capabilities, underlying architectural components of routing and path recognition, node, edge, dis trict, landmark or landscape, and quantitative and syntactic Legibility. Compared to related research, the innovation aspect Conceptual modeling and extraction of readability mechanisms and processes (factors on components) in urban parks are other unique aspects of the s tudy.
