Abstract :
    Over time and through passing from industrialized societies, many industries have been transferred from their location because of different reasons such as housing spread in their areas and the pollution they had for the environment. Therefore these industrial sites are now abandoned and vacant. Despite their social, cultural and historical values, these sites have caused visual disturbance and they have created insecure, abandoned and socially vulnerable spaces. So reclaiming these landscapes is among the concerns of the landscape architects. In this manner, sustainable design is one of the main principles of designing these landscapes. The purpose of this research is to provide solutions in order to use the elements of sustainable design in rehabilitation of post-industrial landscapes. The research method is a descriptive analysis with the use of library resources to study literature of the research and international experiences and also studying the models that are related to the subject of the research. Finding the elements that creat post-industrial landscapes, presenting the methods of using the components of sustainable design and the qualities related to elemnts of sustainable place in reclaiming the post-industrial landscapes are the results of the research. In conclusion, we will see that by using the elemnts of the sustainable landscapes in reclaimation of the post-industrial sites, we will achieve the site improvement, maintaining the values of the site and reduction of the abandoned place to a space with the positive environmental, social and economical features.
