description Paying attention to the arrangement of the senses in the environment by creating suitable spaces to meet human needs can be a basis for thinking and meditation. Man, experiences space with the help of his sense of sight and creates a continuous and organized image in his mind. Since how to understand the environment and the adaptation of the objective characteristics of the environment and different mental perceptions are among the challenges in the field of environmental psychology, therefore, the present study aims to show the desirability of visibility and field of view, and the level of visual attractiveness in Isfahan market halls. It analyzes and evaluates the perceptual environment using Gestalt psychological theory and environmental capabilities in measuring observer's lines of sight. The main question of the research is what is the relationship between the axis of human vision and gestalt perception in the entrance and courtyards of Isfahan's historical bazaar? The answer to this question is proposed in the form of a hypothesis; It seems that the observer's view has a direct relationship with the gestalt topics in the entrance and courtyards. The results of this research are explained with the criteria produced by the current version of depthmapX, as well as theoretical considerations, and the indicators of Gestalt principles are investigated as one of the criteria of environmental ability on human visual perception in the bazaar of Isfahan. The view from the courtyard and the view from the entrance are analyzed using isovist indicators such as area, compression, compactness, closure and environment. In order to prepare a report in the field, 12 architecture students unfamiliar with the environment and 12 professionals familiar with the environment were asked to explain the influential components in order to understand the environmental quality by being present in the space, and this evaluation was done on 12 buildings (small, medium, large). accepts the results of this research show that there is a direct relationship between Isovist view, area and understanding of gestalt indicators. In this way, the larger the area of ​​the yard, the wider the view to understand the space. At the entrance, the field of view does not have a direct relationship with the gestalt principles in all cases, because the long corridors provide less field of view and provide a place for reflection, pause and a different gestalt view.
