Planning and Design of Green Sectors in (Al-Amerat First Residential Complex) According to the Concept of Human Behavior

This study analyzes the reality of green spaces in the "Al-Amerat Residential Complex I" in Najaf Governorate by incorporating the concept of human behavior into urban design, alongside adopting environmental and social sustainability standards. The research aims to evaluate the alignment of green space design with human usage patterns and community interaction, using indicators derived from philosophical and psychological theories. The study employs digital analysis tools such as ENVI-MET, and LEED-ND, in addition to aligning with the Iraqi Urban Housing Standards manual. The research examines three alternative designs for green spaces, focusing on functionality, psychological comfort, and social interaction. The findings reveal that the first alternative characterized by the design of an interactive multi-generational environment between two schools is the most integrated and effective. It achieved the highest compliance with local and global standards, providing flexible and safe design solutions that enhance urban quality of life. The research recommends adopting the concept of human behavior as a fundamental approach in designing public spaces, increasing the proportion of green areas, enhancing community involvement in planning, and applying the first alternative as a pilot model reflecting sustainable design concepts and social interaction in the Iraqi urban environment.
