Implementing healing landscape components in residential complexes open spaces in order to increase social sustainability in the post-corona era (Case study: Ekbatan residential complex)

Within the coronavirus spread, societies experienced harmful emotions.Therefore, various policies were implemented, including home quarantine and social distancing, which in long time led to numerous social harms, including decline in social sustainability. According to research, healing Landscapes increased the mental and physical their users health, so attention should be paid to the application of this factor in the public open spaces design.This issue is quite tangible in the Tehran metropolis due to high population density, and since Ekbatan complex is the most densely populated residential complex in Tehran, implementing solutions to improve social sustainability is vital. The research goal is to determine the feasibility of using healing landscape components in residential complexes open space in order to increase social sustainability. This research is a mixed research type, applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical and survey in terms of methodology. Data collection is through library studies and field surveys and the sample size is 50 experts.The method of data analysis is using t-test, Friedman, factor analysis and structural equation modeling method. Based on the research findings, the "participation" dimension, with an average rank of 2/35, has the greatest impact on increasing social sustainability through the application of healing landscape components in residential complexes open space. According to the research results, strategies such as increasing access and permeability to space through using diverse plant species and the diversity of collective spaces while utilizing natural elements (flowers and plants, water, etc.) will be helpful in implementing this dimension.
