Abstract :
    In addition to its physical appearance, architecture has aspects that are formed in response to the needs and mental expectations of humans. Schemas are used as a repository of feelings, cognitions and behavioral options to understand the environment. Privacy is defining the space in such a way that it has boundaries and privacy in both physical and semantic aspects. The purpose of writing this article is to explain the role of unconscious schemas in the perception and formation of privacy in the spatial hierarchy by the user. The type of this research is practical and qualitative in nature, and data collection is by library method. In order to investigate privacy in the spatial hierarchy, seven dominant schemas that were obtained after analyzing the questionnaire with people were selected. Then, based on the selected schemas through interviews with each person and schema therapy specialists, the type and reasons for the choice of space in relation to privacy in the spatial hierarchy by the user were analyzed, and finally the spatial preferences of people based on the schemas in three tables , Presented. The results of the research indicate that people with the schema of entitlement have the least amount of privacy and people with the schema of strict criteria need the most privacy in spaces.
