Abstract (405 Views)
Objectives: The aim of this study is to analyze the mutual influence of the components affecting the perception of time on the spatial memory of citizens in urban spaces and to prioritize these components. Methodology: This is an applied and descriptive-analytical study conducted in the Bahonar neighborhood of Mashhad. The statistical population includes all citizens using space and urban planning experts, from which 195 people were selected by simple random sampling method based on the Cochran formula. Data were collected using a questionnaire based on related indicators and a five-point Likert scale. The validity and reliability of the tool were guaranteed by the approval of experts and Cronbach's alpha was above 0.7. Data analysis was performed with Smart Pls, SPSS software and Spearman and Friedman tests to evaluate and prioritize the criteria. Findings: The criteria of attention and arousal, complexity of events and diversity of events had the highest impact, and the criteria of sensory relaxation, emotions and mental states, and intensity of events had the lowest impact among the criteria of spatial memory. The criteria of different occasions throughout the year and different days of the week also had the greatest impact, and temporal-physical rhythms and different atmospheric conditions in the environment had the least impact among the criteria of time perception. Conclusion: The different criteria of time perception and spatial memory have a high level of influence on each other and predict coherence at a high level.
