Abstract

This study was carried out aimed to investigate the effects of cultural values on urban landscape. To achieving this purpose, a researcher-made questionnaire has been designed based on the theoretical framework in which components of cultural values including relationships, forms and performances are developed in combination. Also, a mixed researcher-made questionnaire has been developed for measuring the urban landscape variable. The statistical population of this study is Yasuj. The effective components on the landscape, including human, natural, alive and absolute are analyzed and studied in order to analyze the urban landscape. The method used in this study is survey and a self-made questionnaire has been used to assess the components of the landscape and cultural values. Also, Anova's analysis method has been used to determine the relationship between landscape and cultural values. Simple non-probability sampling (also known as simple non-random sampling) was distributed among the citizens of Yasuj and data collection method was purposive. The questioner has implemented the questionnaire. The required data was collected and analyzed by SPSS22 software and the results were studied on two levels of descriptive and inferential statistics. In inferential statistics, Pearson correlation coefficient test was used for examination of the research hypotheses. In the present study, according to the results of the test of variance, there is a significant relationship between cultural values and urban landscape quality and it can be deduced that urban landscape will change with higher growth of cultural values.
