Abstract
Some components in natural places have special structures whose potentials in morphology have attracted human groups to create Social configuration. Discovering the distribution patterns and the arrangement of these centers determines the rules governing the environment. For this reason, this research tries to evaluate and analyze the role of spatial components in the arrangement of population centers in Sirjan basin. For this purpose, by using the phenomenological method and the space analysis technique, the natural developments that caused the emergence of natural history and geomorphic heritage in the studied area were identified and explained. Then the rules governing the arrangement of settlements in the study area were extracted. The results of the research show that two geographical identities, glacial and lake, define the Space syntax logic of the settlements in the study area. In the Land Context of Sirjan Old Lake, the arrangement of settlements is affected by lake terraces and the law of size-distance. So that the density of population centers on the terraces, especially the third and fourth terraces, which are more far from the center of the lake, increases significantly. On the other hand, as we move from the center of the lake to the higher terraces, larger population centers are created with more people. On the other hand, permanent villages were formed at the intersection of ice sheets with a thermal surface (with a temperature of 6 °C), i.e., the ice–water equilibrium line. Also, the Space syntax of the settlements above the ice-water equilibrium line, which are mainly non-permanent and summer population centers, is in accordance with the glacial valleys and the distribution of the ice sheets of the past.
