Abstract:
 
Inefficient land-use locating, traditional transportation patterns, applying new urban planning patterns without considering theoretical basis of climate condition are the main reasons of climate change phenomenon. These factors include an important part of built-environment. Hence, redefining the principles of urban planning in the direction of climate change on one hand can lead to a sustainable environment and on the other hand, it decreases the dire effects on climate change. The goal of this research is identification of double-sided relationship between urban designing structure and climate change phenomenon in a cyclic process. We used an interpretation approach in this fundamental research which has a qualitative content analysis technique. Achievements of this research are redefining of urban design structures and climate change confirming human-built environment, presenting an urban planning and design frame based on decreasing negative consequences of climate change and frame of urban design interaction (procedural and substantive dimensions) and climate change in a coherent.
