The human beings have always acted proactively in the environment and have exchanged information with it. After being located in a place and exchanging information and understanding the symbols by his senses, the human being would be able to communicate with the environment and focus his attention on it. “Sense of place” is the capability of the space or place in creating a unique sense in relation to place as a whole. Regarding the sense of place, form and environment design in commercial region which leads to easy access and high security of the place, the researchers are going to study the impact of environment design indexes on increasing the security of commercial complexes. The methodology of this research is of descriptive-analytic kind and the data have been collected through distributing questionnaires among participants.The findings of the research demonstrate that the crime opportunities which are the result of improper environment design will be reduced through employing suitable design and architecture. Furthermore, the architects have to pay more attention to the security of human being which is one the basic needs of human being and the most important index of environment quality, design an energetic space to promote the life quality and improve it and create the sense of place. Besides, through scaling the elements and ranking them, the researchers found out that compared with the environment design, the element of sense of place is in a higher rank which it causes higher security in the commercial complexes.

The Authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding Author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all Co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.
Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An Editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the Author.

Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that Authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected Reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the Editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
