Urban identity is formed not only through recognizable and memorable formal features, but also through the meaning created by city users in relation to all elements of the built, natural and social environment. Educational spaces have long played a prominent role in society, and their architectural features, along with other environmental features, have provided the basis for the formation of urban identity. The following article is practical in terms of purpose, and considering the components under study, the dominant approach is a descriptive-analytical method. In the present study, a purposive sampling method was used to consciously select participants. The basis of using the purposive sampling method is to select a group of experts who have an in-depth study or general understanding of the nature of the research. Based on the above explanations, the statistical population of the present study is 30 experts in the field of architecture and urban planning, including university professors specializing in the field of study. The number of people considered for the Delphi technique is 10 people, and for the implementation of the interaction analysis in the Miqmac software, the sample size was considered to be 20 people, considering the familiarity of the experts with this software.
