The Concept of Privacy and Its Role in Creating Original Persian Spaces
Journal Title: Journal of River Engineering - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
This article seeks to demonstrate the reasons and origin of the presence of architectural sanctum, based on the quality of human-environment relationship. Therefore, for this reason, by qualitative method and analytical-descriptive research method, after explaining the effective principles and approaches in understanding the subject and examining it from the perspective of different approaches, it is analysed in examples that each of them has been effective in some ways in creating real quality in architecture space. The obtained results show how the true and pure quality search in space, which rising from the harmony of architectural sanctums with the human nature's desires, has been converted into plain impressions of privacy in some contemporary approaches and to deep conceptual references related to it in others. Understanding the concept of privacy in architecture and identifying its defining criteria provides a framework for evaluating the qualities of these approaches. Hence, this paper sets out its discussion by answering these questions: "What is privacy, how does it emerge in Iranian architecture, and how do the inhabitants of these spaces respond to it?"

Automatic Calibration for Estimation of the Parameters of Rainfall-Runoff Model
This paper describes the demonstration of an automated procedure for calibrating of AFFDEF model parameters. For this purpose, SCE algorithm which linked to the code of AFFDEF model, was used to calibrate spatial vari...
Importance of Flood Severity Estimation for Flood Plain Management in a River Valley
Climate changes strongly affect the occurrence of floods. Extreme flooding can occur due to dam failure but sometimes high outflows that exceed the downstream safe channel capacity can also cause significant flooding....
Pressure Hydraulic Sediment Flushing on short dams
Several methods have been proposed to control sedimentation process. These may include catchment’s management, flushing, sluicing, density current venting and dredging. Flushing is used to erode previously deposited sedi...
Comparative Study of Canal Design
India is basically an agrarian country and crop-water is supplied through the system of canals from either dams or distribution chambers. Conventionally, canals are designed, constructed & maintained by the Water Reso...
Floodplain Modeling Using HEC-RAS and MIKE11 Models
A significant deficiency of most computer models used for stream floodplain analysis is that the locations of structures impacted by floodwaters, such as bridges, roads, and buildings, cannot be effectively compared t...
