Abstract
In today's era, due to the ever-increasing expansion of urbanization, attention to urban environments and spaces has gained special importance. After the lack of attention towards urban spaces in the past, we are witnessing the growing importance of such spaces in the context of urban life. On the other hand, the population's desire for urbanization has caused population growth, increased demand in various fields, created numerous pollutions, and subsequently caused climate changes and reduced thermal comfort in cities.In the seven contexts under study (historical, rural, traditional, new-foundation traditional, designed, marginal, and complex), many reasons, including physical wear and inefficient roads, make people's daily activities difficult. On the other hand, the occurrence of thermal islands, lack of vegetation and numerous climatic factors have greatly reduced the thermal comfort of users.Therefore, the current research has tried to use new techniques, including microclimate modeling and analysis, while examining the thermal comfort and the physical elements that shape the environment, to provide suggestions to reduce the mentioned problems and improve the thermal comfort level in the studied tissues of Tabriz city.Based on the output of the research, which is both in the form of numerical data and climate maps provided by Envi-met software, the role of physical factors and urban development in improving or reducing thermal comfort is noticeable. According to these findings, vegetation, height-to-width ratio (enclosure) and the direction of roads have a direct effect on the improvement of thermal conditions in each of the studied localities
