Abstract

Although it has physical effects, temporary landscape as a new issue provides various potential
as a place events that can’t be ignored because of wide range effects on promoting and upgrading the quality of
space. The purpose of this study is to analyze the status and mechanism of temporary landscape. As a basic and
practical research, it is done by using the correlation method and descriptive-analytic approach using documents
and the researcher’s studies. The mechanism of temporary landscape is specified by logical reasoning. The results
of the research show that the components of temporary landscapes include fixed, semifixed and nonfixed (moving)
components. Temporary landscapes in various range types as events, disasters and second elevations, by their
enriched or corrosive functions can create a new experience, as a stimulus. Therefore they leads to conscious
and unconscious social actions. So they can affect people's perception of the space. On the other hand temporary
landscapes can create the meaning of space and affects the quality of space. Therefore they can cause a space
distinction that lead to create a unique space.
