Introduction: The environment and its design can serve as a link between the dimensions of health and their connection. Today, health has a wide range of dimensions. Among these, the mental dimension of health is essential in citizens' quality of life due to various changes such as widespread urbanization and its effects. One of the traditional Iranian architecture achievements in regulating man and space's relationship is to consider all physical, mental, and mental dimensions. However, the study and analysis of traditional architecture from the perspective of health has been done less in research. Architecture can lead us to self-cognition, and this attitude can be seen in Iran's traditional architecture. It attempts to support both human beings in balancing the material and spiritual world with both quantitative and qualitative aspects of architecture. The commercial and recreational spaces such as bazaars are an inseparable part of everyday life; since almost all people in communities use them, the Bazaar as a public space can play a crucial role in promoting the health of citizens in today's urban life
Methodology: In this research, factors affecting mental well-being and their influence on other dimensions of health concerning architecture in a commercial-recreational environment are considered by using thematic analysis with maxqda12 software; in this regard, the articles of the "Public Health" journal are investigated. By selecting the repeated components of mental health from literature, examining the quality of Isfahan's primary traditional market (Bazaar), the Iranian market's architecture was compared and extracted. In response to these needs in the commercial-recreational space, a set of architectural components affecting mental health in the commercial space were collected.
Results: Results showed that seven leading indicators in the thematic analysis have the most substantial effect on mental health. These seven factors were considered the principal codes in this research, and they are investigated in the Iranian bazaar context. This study found that from a mental health perspective, the quality of the pedestrian path, accessibility to green spaces, and proper building height in architectural aspects appears to be the most important determinants of well-being in the Iranian commercial context.
Conclusion: In addition to present policies for improving mental health in traditional Iranian markets, the article introduces a new conceptual model concerning mental health and urban commercial-recreational spaces interaction, which is useful in the future development of healthy architecture and improvement of urban public spaces.
