خلاصة:
Nowadays, spatial meaningfulness is one of the most important solutions for improving the quality of architectural space, and designers and architects strive in this field. Therefore, attention to concepts such as sense of place and the components influencing it is highly significant. Understanding the meaning of the environment, its formation process, and the parameters affecting it can be influential in creating a desirable environment, which is the main goal of architecture. Sense of place means people's mental perception of the environment and their more or less conscious feelings about their surroundings, which places the individual in an internal connection with the environment, such that the individual's understanding and feeling are linked and integrated with the semantic context of the environment. This sense is a factor that causes a space to be transformed into a place with special sensory and behavioral characteristics for specific individuals. Since excessive attention to functionality in the modern view has faded many perceptual aspects of architectural spaces in relation to the audience, the void of meaning manifests itself more than ever in today's societies. Based on the evaluation conducted on educational-cultural environments, a large number of these complexes suffer from a void of meaning. Given the importance of this matter, the profession and knowledge of architecture can be used to help improve the environmental quality of these spaces and increase the sense of belonging to place by explaining and extracting strategies for this approach. The aim of this research is to provide more specialized solutions to enhance the sense of place in architectural educational-cultural environments, which can be achieved through the recognition, preservation, and application of its physical, perceptual, functional, and social components. Ultimately, by enhancing and strengthening this sense, one can witness the mental and psychological health of individuals, the protection of equipment and facilities, and an increase in social participation and interaction, which leads to the development and sustainability of the environment. In this research, the studies are initially descriptive-analytical, using library and documentary information collection methods. In the next stage, alongside field studies, a questionnaire was designed using the Likert method to achieve more detailed and important indicators in increasing the sense of belonging to place in educational-cultural environments, which was distributed among a statistical sample including architecture students and graduates. Questionnaire data were extracted using Excel software, and the results were analyzed as qualitative charts, where the research method in this section is descriptive-survey.

In the next stage, alongside field studies, a questionnaire was designed using the Likert method to achieve more detailed and important indicators in increasing the sense of belonging to place in educational-cultural environments, which was distributed among a statistical sample including architecture students and graduates.
This research initially addresses the meaning of sense of place and its concept from various perspectives, then describes its different levels and constituent factors, and by extracting general indicators, proceeds to design a questionnaire to achieve more detailed indicators of the sense of belonging to place that are influential in educational-cultural complexes, and finally, appropriate solutions for enhancing the sense of place in such complexes are provided.
In addition to causing a sense of comfort in an environment, sense of place supports the cultural concepts desired by people and the social relations of society in a specific location, and leads to the recollection of past experiences and the achievement of identity for individuals.
In this category of factors, user elements such as forms, including shapes, texture, and color, emanating from the social layers of the environment, play a communicative role with users, each of which is obtained based on cultural data throughout the history of environmental architecture and contains its own specific meanings.
Perceptual and Cognitive Factors: This dimension of belonging emphasizes human emotions and feelings toward the place and the surrounding environment, and considers the sense of place belonging to be resulting from an interaction between the person and physical, social, and activity stimuli.
