There is a correlation between urban spaces and user behavior patterns in urban spaces. Environmental context affects the cognition and feeling of the individual and consequently the behavioral pattern of users in the environment. One of the most important environmental factors affecting the behavioral patterns of users in urban spaces is climate. Climatic condition and the amount of environmental opportunities in the face of climatic conditions cause different behavioral patterns in users. Recognizing the behavioral patterns of users in different climatic conditions and designing urban spaces in accordance with these behavioral patterns, makes urban plans more compatible with the context, humanism, pivotal location and sustainability of urban spaces.
Dokhatun Square is the most important public space in Shahrekord, which is located in a cold climate. Lack of observance of climatic considerations and non-compliance of urban space with user behavior patterns has reduced the vitality of this urban space. In this study, by recognizing and analyzing the behavioral patterns of users in this field in the coldest and hottest days of the year and climatic simulation of the field in these days, users' behavioral patterns and the role and effect of climate on behavioral patterns and urban space are measured and analyzed. In line with this assessment, design policies should be developed for the case study sample.
The method of this research is a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods. Assessment of users' behavioral patterns has been prepared in a qualitative manner with the help of scheduled video recording and has been recorded with the help of GIS. Climatic data are simulated using quantitative method with the help of ENVI-met 4 software. Then, by using interpretive analysis method, the effect of climate on urban space and the behavioral patterns of urban space users have been studied.
The results of this study show that behavior, thermal comfort and environment are highly interdependent. So, to increase social vitality, the environment needs to be adapted to the climate and positive behaviors of users. Climate directly and indirectly affects the behavioral patterns of users in urban spaces. The direct effects of climate on behavior include the effect on the presence of people in urban space and the occurrence of behavior, type of behavior and activities (forced, selective and social activities), place of occurrence of behavior, time of occurrence of behavior, continuity of behavior and recurrence rate. Climate also indirectly affects behavioral patterns through the bed. Indirect effects of climate are the effect on physical-spatial characteristics, cultural-social and personality-emotional characteristics and in general the effect on the context of behavior and then the effect of these components on user behavior in urban space. According to research studies, thermal comfort is one of the determining factors in people's use of urban space. In such a way that in hours with more thermal comfort, the presence of users has increased. There is also a strong relationship between user behavior and thermal comfort. In conditions of thermal comfort, selective activities and social interactions such as conversations with strangers increase. Thermal comfort also affects the rate of stopping by passers-by and their short rest in the urban space. The results show that the centers of activity are located in areas with greater thermal comfort and most of the selected activities have taken place in the shade. Also, the presence of users as a group has increased during the hours with more thermal comfort.
