Abstract

When the concept of space was seriously discussed among geographers and architects, this question has always been engaged in itself a lot of curious interested minds: what are the rules of phenomena syntax in the field that creates space? To explanation of the space syntax is defined like the language syntax. As the linguistic structures are express with a special rule, space configuration can be assigned similar to the rules of language. In this study, Topographic maps, Geology maps, Satellite imagery, Aerial photos, DEM (Digital Elevation Model) the region were used. The research was doing with Noumenonology[1] method. The Noumenonology method defined the several Land Context for Khuzestan plain. The Space Identity of each Land--Context reflects the of Space Memory the Land, which has played a key role in the vision of the people of this land and in the shape of the settlements. The results of this study show that:
1- The behavior of Khuzestan land-context rivers in interaction with the Persian Gulf terraces, defines the rule of urban settlement in this space.
2-River- meandering forms explaining the rule of rural settlements in this space.
3-Geoneuron or Hoors are definer special identity called "nomadic lacastrain”.



[1] - Philosophic attitude is an essential matter for foundation of a consistent and reliable phenomenology (Novali, 1990). Hence, Hegel Noumenonolgy is considered as a philosophic fund of "Phenomenology in Geomorphology". In Hegel philosophic Noumenonology, concrete realities and objectivity phenomenon what a latent inside and spirit of phenomena called Noumenonology. "So against of other Phenomenologists, in this research, “Positivist” equals to “Phenomenology” and “knowledge of exist” equals to “Noumenonology”.
