Investigating the effective factors on creating or disturbing privacy is considered when it is analyzed and criticized in a spatial and temporal context, in accordance with the specific cultural and identity conditions. In this analysis, the effective elements and components are tested and the weight percentage and effectiveness are specified. The present study attempted to evaluate the various factors affecting privacy. For this purpose, a questionnaire was designed to identify and prioritize the components providing privacy. This study is a descriptive-analytical design that initially studies privacy as a semantic concept of theoretical aspect with library resources and then presents a qualitative-quantitative analysis via field survey (in-depth interview and questionnaire). According to the research case, the results of the study indicate that the perception of the sense of privacy is subject to objective and subjective elements, and this component plays a role in the perception of privacy. Objective elements are more effective when communicating with “others”. In the subjective measurement section, the perceptual difference is insignificant in terms of gender. Unlike men, the statistical population of women considers the body’s cover as a more effective motive in securing privacy, but “security” and its origin “others’ misuse “ is the main concern of the statistical population of both genders. <strong>Abstract</strong> Cultural, identity, and personality factors are different elements that can form privacy in a different weight importance.
