Abstract
Improving communication and social responses is the most important issue that should be considered in children with autism disorders. The concept of territory is considered as one of the most important and influential factors in the quality of human-environment communication. Territorial behavior through the mechanisms that provides to individuals to monitor social interaction is considered as one of the social behaviors with social nature that can encourage the environment to achieve social interactions with the dimensions of supervision, personalization and meaning (creating signification). Thus, this articles has considered the concept of territory as one of the influential factors on behavior setting in children with autism disorders. In this article, the research method is a combination of both qualitative and quantitative methods. Research findings suggest that the territorial behavior can have a significant effect on reinforcing and providing the social skills of children with autism disorder in adapting to the surrounding environments for social interactions, and since the importance of common privacies for making social solidarity is obvious, therefore, investigating the mechanism of territorial behavior and its important role in increasing social responses and communication behaviors is really significant.
