Then, with an emphasis on sustainable landscape design principles in natural landscapes that emphasize the protection of natural resources, designs that show the ecological, cultural and social beauty of this natural landscape of Khoshk River and suggestions for organizing it have been presented. These suggestions emphasize the importance of protecting the airspace above the river bed in order to promote acceptance by migratory birds, eliminating incompatible developments such as the Namazi Hospital and Shiraz water refinery and constructing a water and soil dam in order to store water in low rainfall seasons and design the margins of the natural landscape of Khoshk River.
