چکیده
Abstract The development of societies and the increasing growth recent constructions, especially in cities, have caused environmental issues, destruction, reduction natural resources environment, green green-blue spaces. According to studies, past years, many parts even pristine surfaces spaces big cities been turned into artificial, impermeable spaces, which has aggravated ecological problems also it aesthetic characteristics urban landscape, particularly arid semiarid areas. In this case, studies show that identifying applying ecosystems such as wetlands their artificial types due multifunctional aspects benefits, areas, can be basis for reducing issues mentioned. Therefore, is necessary pay attention critical issue do more research know different constructed wetland along with services values. primary aim identify values ecosystem examine diverse patterns order extract design simple construcred wetlands. We want role position landscape architecture planning process. Also, study aims potencial possibillity building areas Mediterranean regions, according Koppen climate classiffication. regard, theoretical framework provided based on specialized texts similar foreign case functions. These reviews done a specific format consisting some main aspects, function supply sources final result extractted simplified patterns, considered designing guide element, arid, semiarid, climates hot dry summers.
