        One of the main indicators of hard-working countries in environmental protection is policy making towards education as the third dimension of sustainable development, which green schools play an important role as a global environmental education program based on international standards. The purpose of this study is to investigate the level of the green school indicators with a sustainable architecture approach coming true in primary schools in Urmia. For this reason, the descriptive - survey method has been used. The required data were collected and analyzed by a questionnaire tool after obtaining green school indicators from the research literature. The results of the research indicate that the primary schools of Urmia have the green school indicators lower than the average. Manuscript profile

        Population growth and increase in energy consumption and excessive use of natural resources have caused many problems for human societies. The contribution of the construction industry in the consumption of resources and the production of pollution caused by it is high, and the waste produced from construction and demolition operations causes many problems. Man, nature and architecture are three factors that have always been side by side and effective on each other throughout history. In the meantime, architecture, as an element connecting man to nature, can fulfill its task properly when it is used with proper knowledge and understanding of the conditions and needs of man and nature. By using the experiences, sciences and techniques hidden in the heart of nature and building a bridge of friendship between man and the surrounding environment with the help of architecture, it is possible to create a work that is of the nature of the environment and will be mixed with the environment. Decades have passed since the introduction of sustainable architecture and many solutions have been presented by architects to solve crises. Sustainable architecture is a process that can be repeated. Sustainable architecture can influence the quality of the final product and identify a process that is sustainable. Our goal in this research is to investigate sustainable architecture in the design of future buildings based on the environment. In this research, the measures taken on case samples in specific periods of time, as well as their effects on the environment and geography, were investigated using the method of comparative studies. Then, the explanation of sustainable measures used by architects in the design of future buildings was put on the agenda. In the following, the results have been presented with an analytical method. The method of collecting information was library method and document study. And based on the obtained results, the category of design criteria for future structures and the measures that can be taken will be discussed. Manuscript profile

        Problem and necessity: In order to create sustainable buildings, systems have been developed to evaluate the performance of buildings, separated by use. Due to the prevalence of Islam and Shia religion in Iran, one of the most used buildings are religious-pilgrimage buildings, the number of which is significant and influential in terms of sustainability. However, until now, these buildings have not been reviewed from the point of view of achieving sustainable development goals, and criteria for this review have not been defined. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to provide special criteria for evaluating a sustainable pilgrimage building and then upgrade and improve these holy places based on these criteria. The purpose of the research: The aim of the current research is to design a model to evaluate pilgrimage buildings in achieving the goals of sustainable development in the building sector in Iran. research method: The research is in the stage of collecting information by survey method. In order to increase the validity of the questionnaire, the initial questionnaires were designed and approved by studying similar questionnaires in researches and consulting professors and a number of elite board membersof Delphi method. Then, a number of questionnaires were distributed among each part of the statistical population and all identified ambiguities were resolved and the final questionnaire was distributed. The consistency rate of less than 0.1 of the questionnaires confirmed the reliability of the questionnaires. In the step of data analysis, Delphi method and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) were used. Research result and suggestion: The results of Delphi analysis were the introduction of a model consisting of 10 headings and 94 criteria. According to the results of the AHP method, among the criteria introduced to achieve a sustainable pilgrimage building in Iran, the first three priorities are: "sustainable management and processes", "technical and functional quality" and "water". Based on these results, an evaluation system and a special weighting system for sustainable pilgrimage buildings in Iran were proposed. The suggestions of the research are preparation of special management annexes, self-sufficient design of energy and water and sewage infrastructures and more serious pursuit of water consumption optimization.

        <p>Unlike many contemporary urban constructions that have lost their Iranian identity and are developed without consideration for cultural values and principles of sustainable and Iranian architecture. Still in the villages of Iran, due to its high age and Valuable texture, a proportionate and homogeneous collection can be observed, in which the connections, functions and roles of the spaces in housing encompass a proportionate socio-economic and cultural system. The villages of Venan and Kohandan Baft are relatively valuable in terms of native architecture and worthy of study, with the existing types of rural housing in this article being among the examples examined in this research. In this study, the villages have been studied in terms of settlement, appearance, landscape, texture, and housing, and they have been analyzed from two perspectives: the assessment of the climatic pattern and the assessment of the spatial-functional pattern. In this research, since the characteristics of the village need to be examined, a qualitative method is used to describe the data and examine a case study, and an analytical method is used to draw conclusions from the collected data. Furthermore, the method of collecting information involves using library sources to gather basic information, followed by field studies through visiting and observing the village sites.</p> Manuscript profile
