Moreover, the research problem focus on neglecting of the physical area surrounding the schools and its lack of suitability for the different needs of adolescents. Accordingly, the results show that the relationships between the school's physical environment and the student's behavior. The design and planning of the school's external environment should push more attention to creating an enabling learning environment that can promote positive social behavior, especially in urban learning spaces at schools.
