Abstract
Abstract

Industrial areas due to the structural and functional contrast with the surrounding environment have always been at odds with their context. Industrial areas have significant impacts on the environmental quality of their context and also on their users’ physical and mental health. Due to the specific interactions of the refineries with their natural context, they are not exempt from the rules of industrial systems. The case study of this research is chosen due to the importance of oil and gas industry in Iran with addition to the extent of refinery’s distributions and with the purpose of improvements in their environmental quality. Following the development of researches about the concepts of industrial ecology, eco-industrial parks formed with an ecological approach in order to minimize resource use and conservation of nature. The application requirement of ecosystem principles for designing and planning of these sites have been considered due to the conservation of landscape functions and processes. In this research, eco-industrial parks design focusing on the concepts of industrial ecology and landscape ecology, and also combination of these approaches as a comprehensive approach is considered. In a broader perspective, concept of nurtured landscape is suggested for integration of these two approaches. In this regard, appropriate ecological patterns have been considered through applying the patch–corridor–matrix model, as well as photo montage method for measuring visual preferences in designing eco-industrial parks.
