This study was an attempt to investigate the relationship between spatial memory and Symptoms of Neuroticism in men and women visitors of a flower garden. The participants were chosen by an available sampling method among people who visited flower garden, located in Isfahan, Iran in October 2016. Subjects (woman=36, man=24) were asked to specify approximate locations of eight sites in the flower Garden on the incomplete map of flower garden after visiting the garden. Then, the subjects filled a demographic questionnaire and a short form of Eysenck introversion-extraversion questionnaire. The results showed that the means of spatial memory in men are significantly more than those of women (F= 11.46, p<0.05) and also, neuroticism in men is significantly less than that in women (F=7.22, P<0.05). Furthermore, positive relationship between age and spatial memory (r= 0.41, p<0.01) and negative relationship between neuroticism and spatial memory have been discovered (r= -0.59, p<0.01). According to the results, it can be concluded that neuroticism avoids paying attention to the environment and it causes memory function slump.

The concept of place and the necessity of understanding the plan and thus the reality of architecture has always been an important issue for architects. The mental and psychological effects of architectural frames on human beings have been considered from the early shelters to today΄s modern structure. Since the human behavior is performed in defined spaces, it is necessary to design the physical space based on people’s behavioral characteristics. In this papar, different perspectives on the relation between psychology and architecture as an interdisciplinary plan in two areas of perception and planning are studied. First, some general concepts and principles are presented and then an attempt is made to integrate the two. The main purpuse is to study how the designed environment by man affects his mind and soul in terms of function, form and other factors and also how the architecture is affected by controlling the behavior and individual as well as social motivation based on the principles of environmental psychology. Establishing optimum relations between man and his designed environment is the main objective of this study.

The sample's youngest participant was 13 years old, while the eldest was 18 years old. According to the results of Table 2, the mean score of the mental state of adolescents hospitalized in three hospitals of Ibn Sina, Namazi and Saadi was M= 42.14.

Since the third places are very effective in relieving the anxiety and tension of the citizens and the s tudies conducted in the pas t, consider this component as a multifaceted component that different results are mentioned in the articles depending on the time and different places, in this article using A comprehensive ques tionnaire of artificial intelligence has been used. We are looking to find key variables in these main components of this research, which are the perception of persons, third place, and environmental perception. In this case, we can achieve maximum use of third places to improve urban spaces according to key variables. This research, which aims to improve the quality of urban hangouts to increase the quality of urban space on urban perception, originated from a basic ques tion which is to identify and prioritize the factors effective in improving the quality of the third place in urban perception, in this research artificial intelligence information by setting up a ques tionnaire The detailed influencing variables of the third rank of environmental perception have been collected. The purpose of this research is to inves tigate and identify the role of the third place in environmental perception, and since the research method is qualitative, it has been analyzed using research onion and MAXQDA software. In the end, by showing a map of the relationships between the influential variables of this research, it is s tated which includes: the sense of belonging, individual perception, experience and habit, and environmental perception.
