Regarding the current environmental conditions of cities as well as attention to the future of the city and the acceleration of the urbanization process in Iran, revision of the design methods of residential complexes is very necessary. In cities filled with the future population, apartment life will be more prevalent, and the number of people who open their free time in the yard, next to their favorite pond and garden, will slowly decline. On the other hand, the increasing growth of mental illnesses in urban and modern societies, therefore, can be used to control depression using green spaces in the design of residential areas and complexes. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of environmental permeability on residents' depression on 669 inhabitants of Khatoon and Chogan residential complexes in Shiraz. The results of the research indicate that depression status among the residents of the two complexes is significantly different.
