Abstract

Urban ecology has been introduced as an interdisciplinary subject that is the intersection of different fields of social sciences and biophysical processes. Natural and man-made spaces as the physical and semantic context of cities, humans with multiple and hierarchical perception and finally the interaction that occurs between humans and the environment, makes the urban landscape as the first manifestation of historical, social- Cultural, economic and natural of each city should be updated and presented. The current research is analytical-descriptive research in terms of its structure, which in terms of its main goal is considered to be of the type of applied and developmental research, which can also be used as an exploratory research approach considering the lack of previous research on the concept of landscape. According to the course of theoretical foundations and conceptional model, the effective factors in the influence of the urban landscape in the field of ecology are considered and by explaining the branch of landscape architecture to it, these factors are tested by experts and elites for indexing using the Delphi method. Are taken so that the framework of the proposed criteria can be presented in chapter one. Based on the research findings, framework can be presented as the result of studies, theoretical framework and Delphi method, the important indicators that is affecting the quality of urban landscape architecture quality are Visual scale, Visual clarity, Visual influence, Form feature, Greenness, Aesthetics, Legibility, Size, Proportions, Environmental comfort and sense of place.
