| Abstract | ||
| connects the spaces of the shopping center together and acts as a point of attraction where people interact and engage in many events and activities. The current study aims to build a model that defines the fundamental variables of the human aspect of shopping centers courtyards in order to explain the relationship between the human aspect and shopping centers courtyards and determine its role in enhancing the interactive relationship between the user and the courtyard. The resulting criteria can serve as a valuable tool for architects and designers to ensure compliance with the criteria of the human aspect of shopping centers courtyards. This was done by using the analysis method, which involved a review of scientific references, theoretical perspectives, and relevant research on human aspects and shopping centers. These variables can be organized and classified using the STEEP Analysis. Subsequently, the proposed criteria were presented in the form of a questionnaire to a panel of specialists for their feedback and refinement. Finally, data analysis using SPSS led to the final criteria defining the human aspect in shopping center courtyards. The research reached to criteria that can be relied upon to achieve the human aspect of shopping centers courtyards, including (identity, human behavior, quality of the internal environment, visual appeal, security and safety, etc.) Special Issue of AEIC 2024 (Sustainable Architecture and Urban Design Session) | ||
