چکیده

In the last few decades, physical identity crisis in architecture and urbanism in Iranian cities, specifically Mashhad as the second largest city in Iran and an important cultural and religious center, have been the subject of discussion among experts. However, there is a lack of specific components and indicators in the explanation of Iranian-Islamic architecture, particularly regarding Mashhad. The study aimed to identify the components and indices of Iranian-Islamic architecture in Mashhad using a sequential exploratory combined research method, which involved both qualitative and quantitative analysis. Initially, 28 documents were analyzed using the Metasynthesis approach, resulting in the identification of 94 codes that were categorized into 4 axes, 10 concepts, 16 components, and 64 indicators. a conceptual model was utilized to present the findings. In the second step, a questionnaire was sent to thirty experts to prioritize the components and indicators of Iranian-Islamic architecture in Mashhad. The data were analyzed using SPSS software and single sample t-test and Friedman test to rank the variables. The findings revealed that the top five priorities of Iranian-Islamic architectural components in Mashhad are hierarchy and spatial classification, order, unity and integration, self-sufficiency, and fluidity. The top five priority indicators in this field are harmony, proportion, presence of open, semi-open and closed spaces, purposeful presence of light in spaces, and neighborhood unit. This study provides insights for architects and urban planners to consider these components and indicators in designing Iranian-Islamic architecture in Mashhad. It also provides a theoretical framework on Iranian-Islamic architecture for future research.
