Abstract

Research Problem: The absence of children in the community and the lack of skills in communicating with each other is an issue that has caused many behavioral problems in the community today. How students communicate in school as a second home has been one of the factors influencing their social behavior. Inadequate conditions in the school environment and the lack of coordination between the environment and students' personalities double the need to pay attention to educational, behavioral, social and environmental issues.
Research Question: How does flexible architecture affect student social behaviors?
Research Method: This research uses an integrated method (qualitative-quantitative) to find the effect of flexible architecture on social relations and the relationship between these two components among students in different situations, so that initially 8 schools with the method Multi-stage clusters were randomly selected and collected before and after the test using descriptive-analytical and quasi-experimental methods based on detailed observations and library and field studies. One school was considered as the test school and the other schools with almost the same conditions as the unequal control group, and the other schools were studied because of their flexible environments. Out of 32 components obtained from theoretical foundations and interviews with experts, 7 components were obtained after scoring. Pre-test and post-test data were collected using observations and 220 questionnaires, and finally in SPSS software data were analyzed using t-test and Sheffe test.
The Most Important Results and Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that the dimensions of social behavior, which according to Altman, is divided into four categories: "crowding, privacy, territory and personal space"; Among students, the physical dimensions of the environment are affected, including flexible architecture, which includes the components of "diversity, variability, and adaptability." There is a significant difference between students 'social behavior before and after making changes in the yard and corridor. Changes affect the quality of the educational environment and as a result, students' social behavior changes their behavioral range. Finally, it allows students to participate directly in the creation and operation of a multifunctional collective environment as well as individual group activities. On the other hand, active interaction in the environment along with maintaining privacy and personal space provides the possibility of students' social development.
