Abstract

Green roofs due to their deep background in the architecture of the world today are among the main components of buildings that are somehow involved in urban landscape as a determining factor. In the current cities, the lack of organizing structure to green roofs has caused a thematic disconnect and a lack of integration, which is one of the reasons for the crisis of urban identity and lack of sense of place in cities is this kind of attitude towards the city. The current research method is analytic research and is aimed at applied and development. He may also be able to look at his discovery. The aim of this study is to explain the proposed indicators for presenting conceptual model and research framework in line with green roof model with the approach of improving urban landscape with ecological vision to the subject, by using Delphi method and considering concave of elite and expert opinions, effective factors have become the primary suggested indicators that have been tested and finally the framework and model of the research have been extracted. The results showed that the effect of greenery index with a score of 0.1456, aesthetic index with a score of 0.1261, paired indices of readability, texture, size and proportions with the score of 0.1195 were more effective respectively and identity with a score of 0.1141 had the least effect. Key words: objective quality , quality of life, subjective quality , urban management
