Abstract

In contemporary sciences, achieving a multidimensional, conceptual and based cognitive approach to interdisciplinary subjects is one of the most important strategies to overcome the complexity and spread of such fundamental problems. For instance, issues of common perception concern have been created between the disciplines of the basic environment. Considering that all interventions in the building sector are formed based on the core of theoretical foundations, it is possible to see the reflection of this evolution in urban planning theories. In the meantime, the issue of recognizing the place of environmental perception due to its fundamental influence in urban planning theories is an interdisciplinary need that requires a similar answer. On the other hand, all levels of urban life have a direct and immediate dependence on the planners' cognitive framework of factors and the role of environmental perception. As a result, it is necessary to carry out this research to achieve a comprehensive solution. So The current research seeks to explain the place of environmental perception in urban planning theories, with a deep and multifaceted approach to the form of a cognitive framework. This Fundamental research is based on Directed qualitative content analysis and categories with the help of MAX-QDA research aid software, in order to achieve a conceptual communication network, to improve the factors and categories. In the human dimension, the nature of environmental management has intelligence emerging from thematic challenges of urban development, including responsiveness, integration, context orientation, process orientation, structuralism, and undecideds. Therefore, the response of urban planning theories to the process of environmental management corresponding to itself has caused the creation of three different generations of theories.
