In normative studies, which provide qualitative result to promote children's independent mobility (CIM), enough attention is not paid to the attitudes of children, parents, and experts. Positive research that investigates children's independent mobility using measuring instruments, the researcher understanding of the study context and perceptual characteristics of children and parents is limited. The present study aims at investigating the variables of children's independent mobility using exploration and confirmatory methods, respectively. Analysis of 1896 behavioral places made possible discovering 9 selected range of independent mobility and 4 principles related to the promotion of children's independent mobility . Expert attitudes were assessed by Delphi technique and the exploratory principles were ranked by Shannon’s entropy. Factor analysis was used to confirm the effect of 5 factors on improving children's independent mobility (N= 204). The housing type, number of floors, level of residency, street type, green-space, perceived safety and gender differences were variables related to children's independent mobility .

How to navigate the premises of residential complexes is an important issue for the architectural design of such spaces. The path that creates the axis of vision and readability for human beings can be the optimal path. The purpose of this study is to investigate the formal structure of routing in the space of residential complexes based on the theory of space syntax. In this research, a structural description of human environmental behavior based on the theoretical foundations of space syntax is presented. Also, using Depthmap X 0.50 software and by extracting graph-based methods, people's perception and interpretation of routing in the residential complex area is explained. Findings show that three types of network-based circulation, curved and linear in the design of residential complexes that human behavior according to individual and collective goals and interests, can choose one of these routes to cross. Also, according to the results, routing in a linear rotation path is the easiest way to perceive space. Network routing is also the most difficult route for people to navigate due to its lower readability. Curved routing also has good readability due to its shorter spatial depth. In general, the findings in this study showed that routing has a significant relationship with the depth of space and the visual axis of people.
