Abstract

The traditional Qazvin gardens were generally fruitful gardens that were located far away from the city of Qazvin. These gardens are more than a thousand years old and two thousand five hundred acres of Qazvin's area are located in three directions east, south and west. One of the references to written history is Nasser Khosrow's travelogue, which represents the history of this garden complex
In the past decades, the proliferation of Qazvin has caused great damage to the identity and domain of traditional Qazvin gardens and has endangered the traditional Qazvin gardens. Factors such as urban development, population growth, rising land levels, social and economic changes, rising land prices, the construction of a landfill site and, of course, mismanagement of urban management have caused this devastation. Lack of consistent and contemporary implementation of the people's lives and lack of a comprehensive plan for defining a variety of functions for these parts of the city that caused the destruction, drying, alteration and dismantling of this green and vital infrastructure of Qazvin.
Mullah Khalila Park in the traditional garden garden of Qazvin is one of the few efforts that the Qazvin municipality aimed at reviving the traditional gardens and freshening them to the modern life of the citizens of Qazvin with the needs of their modern life. This park was opened in 2015 and now it is used by people of Qazvin on a daily basis. The present research tries to increase the level of continuity and loyalty of the park's design to the traditional Qazvin gardens, which today serve as a pilot example for live livelihoods. Qazvin gardens are considered, to be analyzed in traditional gardens' structures and patterns.
