Abstract: (258 Views)
Urban green landscape as a part of the urban landscape has multiple impacts on various aspects of citizens' lives and how it is developed is of great importance. In contemporary development plans, green landscape is considered merely as a decorative phenomenon for recreation and its environmental benefits are considered, which in the sustainable development approach, economic and social aspects are also considered. The development of contemporary green space in the vicinity of Khuzestan rivers has reduced the multiple functions and identity role of the river and green landscape to recreational elements in the city, and as a result, the separation of these two from the daily lives of residents. In recent development plans, a comprehensive model is often presented for all cities, while the spatial capacities and needs of residents are considered a determining factor in the development process. The river cities of Khuzestan also have their own characteristics and capacities that determine the style of green landscape based on the needs of residents in these cities. Therefore, understanding this style and its characteristics is essential for place-based development. This study, by reading the landscapes, identified these features through field observations using the exploratory method and in some cases, examined historical documents. The results of the observations showed that the green landscape in the cities of Dezful, Susa, and Shushtar was organized as an oasis in order to adapt to the climate, located in the pause poimts and focal points of the city in order to connect with daily activities, selected native palm and kenar trees with sacred status as monocultures, and in general, the green landscape is multifunctional. The green landscape, in continuous connection with people's lives, has met the needs of residents and has been created based on the functional, climatic, cultural, social, economic, and identity capacities of the place. Therefore, the native green landscape of these cities, with its place-making components, can play a fundamental role in place-based development, which needs to be considered in the development process.
