Abstract: (31 Views)
In the last 5 decades, university centers have developed significantly due to the increase in public desire for university education. This has led to a rise in the number of non-native students worldwide. One of the requirements of non-native students is to have a dormitory for accommodation, and these student dormitories play a significant role in the formation of communication and interactions between people from different cultures and societies. Intercultural interactions as a general and ethical behavior help to develop a more just, diverse, free, and fair society. On the other hand, the architectural structure of each society is indicative of the cultural symbols and worldview of the people of that land. As a result, culture and its values can be transferred and taught through architecture. The main goal of this research is to investigate the impact of sustainable architectural factors from a social and cultural perspective on intercultural interactions and also to provide solutions to increase it in student dormitories. The structure of this research is based on qualitative and quantitative data, and the way of collecting information in this research is done in two parts library and field studies. In the library studies section, independent variable indicators of sustainable architecture from a social and cultural point of view, which are "Participation", "Physical", "Economic", "Population", "Diversity", "Environmental" and "Identity". And also the dependent variable indicators of intercultural interactions, including "empathy", "awareness", "self-knowledge", "expanding dialogue", "mutual respect", "altruism" and "justice and equality" have been extracted. In the field studies department, using the obtained indicators, a questionnaire was prepared and distributed among the students living in the Haft Tir dormitory of Shahrood University of Technology as the study area of the current research. Further, according to the calculations of Pearson's correlation test and simple linear regression in SPSS 24 software, respectively, four factors "diversity", "population", "physical" and "economic" were identified as having a significant relationship with intercultural interactions. At the end, solutions to increase intercultural interactions have been presented.
