摘要：The value of socio-cultural aspects in the environmental design process and relevant issues are discussed in this paper. In addition, Alexander′s Pattern Language theory is derived from human activity, perceptive and behavioural patterns and is associated with the Genius loci. Thus, the researcher considered the possibility of a relationship existing between Pattern Language and the field of Environmental Design (especially the socio-cultural dimension) that would arrive at a correlation model of ″A Pattern Language for Environmental Design″. The research method was a survey implemented to collect data from 129 MS (related to the Environmental Design field) graduates and students studying at various universities in Tehran. The sampling method was based on stratified random sampling. A 49-item questionnaire was used to collect data and the reliability of all subscales was more than 0.80 estimated by the Cronbach alpha test. Hierarchical Confirmatory Factor Analysis was used to analyse data by LISREL 8.72 software. The results of the analysis statistically confirmed the correlation model of ″A Pattern Language for Environmental Design″. While all correlations between pattern language components and their counterpart indicators were statistically significant, the correlation between the socio-cultural dimension and environmental design was the most powerful relationship in the model.
