Abstract: (830 Views)
Earth architecture is considered as one of the construction techniques with several thousand years of historical richness and from a theoretical point of view, it is part of the sub-branches of Vernacular architecture in architectural knowledge, which despite the background; Now, in accordance with the times and changes in "culture" and "technology", it has undergone a transformation on the widespread use and acceptance and is facing a noticeable decline. Reducing the amount of use and acceptance of earth architecture due to the mentioned changes in the contemporary era is more important and is on the focus of researchers.In this regard, knowing "public acceptability", as one of the specialized fields of social dimensions of Earth architecture, can help to explore the causes and reasons of this issue. Referring to the scientific texts and resources available in this field is also one of the appropriate tools in order to cover the prevailing scientific current in the subject under investigation. The purpose of this research is to describe and analyze the content of existing international researches regarding the social acceptability of Earth architecture. The methodological approach of this research; is quantitative and is based on the use of content analysis technique of fifty international studies in the field of public acceptability of Earth architecture. For this purpose, this research in this field has used a set of descriptive indicators such as "frequency of publication", "concentration of texts", "geographical distribution" and "main thematic axes of the articles" in order to analyze and classify the content of the mentioned articles. The results of the research indicate the possibility of comparing, harmonizing researches, aggregating and finding gaps around this issue. Therefore, social acceptability in Earth architecture is a rich and multi aspect concept that includes topics such as advantages, disadvantages, challenges, obstacles, drivers and variables of public acceptance of this architectural construction method. In addition, the findings of this research focus on the possibility of recognizing a set of challenges, advantages, multiple diverse obstacles and drivers for promoting the public acceptability of using earth materials, promoting earth architecture and filling scientific gaps in this specialized subject, especially in domestic scientific texts. Based on this; The findings include a range of “technical and architectural challenges”, “policy-based and socio-cultural obstacles”, and “technical and scientific-educational drivers”. Therefore, part of the existing gaps has been filled by this research.
