Therefore, the main purpose of this study was to explain the relationship between the presence of the sky in architecture and human mental health and crime reduction.
Materials & Methods: The present study is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical in terms of method, which was conducted in the first half of 1400 in Pardisan residential complexes in Qom, Iran. A sample of 110 households was randomly selected from the Basij neighborhoods and the staff union, which is part of the neighborhoods of Pardisan area with a large number of residential complexes, due to the presence of local residents, to answer the researcher-made questionnaire on human physical, mental and spiritual health in terms of the presence of the sky in the living space. The face and content validity of the questionnaire used was checked and confirmed. The questionnaire also had good reliability in three dimensions of physical, mental and spiritual with Cronbach's alpha 0.922, 0.813 and 0.775, respectively. Due to limited traffic and communication in Corona, the questionnaires were completed in absentia and online. Data were analyzed using dual regression analysis test in SPSS 26 software.

The results of regression analysis showed that the presence of the sky in the architectural space among the components of physical, mental and spiritual health, had a significant effect on all human areas. Determination of intensity and 62% was related to factors related to mental health and by comparing the constant regression value of 18.442 and the physical field coefficient of 0.217 and the spiritual field coefficient of 0.582, the greater effect of the spiritual field on human mental peace was explained.
Conclusion: The results of this study show that the presence of the sky in the living space of human beings, in addition to physical comfort, also causes psychological and spiritual comfort, and the presence of the sky in the space of architecture and man-made, more than anything, promotes human mental health and unwillingness. It turns into crime and violence.
