        Gender differences in urban public spaces can be the source of many factors affecting the quality of urban environment. A review of this proposition requires an accurate understanding of the concept of urban perception. Interpretation of what our sensory receptors have received from the surrounding environment takes place in the brain. This act is called perception that leads to recognition. The research seeks to answer the question of how the gender differences of citizens can change sensory perception and ultimately their perception of the urban environment and what are the factors and notions of this kind of perception? The main method of research in this article is the descriptive method, along with analyzing the content of qualitative content and analyzing the data extracted by field studies method. An analysis of the content of research and theories on the factors derived from gender differences has also been part of the research method. After designing the conceptual model of the research, the findings of this study shows that Gender differences are manifested in three-dimensional perceptions, city-centered navigation, environment image ability, mapping skills, and ultimately routing and way finding. Therefore, these components can be regarded as the main notions of perceptual differences in urban environments. Of course, all of this is due to differences in the structure of the human brain, which can be altered for both women and men. Another important point before the perception of the environment is the sense of the environment that is received by our five senses and as a result, the ideas of this study add to the difference in the use of sensory, tactile, auditory, olfactory and taste (with varying degrees of importance) among men and women.

        The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of energy transfer on the environment and humans, and given that today energy and its use is an integral part of life, so that even a minute of energy interruption will cause billions in losses. If energy transmission lines had not yet been discovered and invented, perhaps mankind would never have reached such a level of well-being and would still have to use carts and horses. This study investigates the characteristics of urban environments and the effects of energy transmission lines on the environment and humans. In addition to all the benefits that energy has, it will naturally have detrimental effects on humans and the environment, and therefore people who are exposed to the currents of energy transmission lines are more likely than others to suffer from all kinds of damage. According to human progress, solutions can be found to deal with it. For example, energy transmission lines can be crossed from the basement, which have less destructive effects on both physical health and environmental appearance than airborne transmission lines.
