Journal Title: International Research Journal of Applied and Basic Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 10, Issue 7
Abstract
Nowadays concepts of place and sense of place have attracted many of contemporary researches in the field of urban design and planning. In the past, cities had a higher ability to establish connection between human and space. Today, however, cities are consisted of many spaces without identity and meaning which are produced through a process of homogenization emerging from capitalist urbanization. The production of non-places and identical spaces has marginalized the identity of local places and cultures. Through a critical review of different features place and models for evaluation of sense of place, a new model has been synthesized. This model then been used to analyse a case study in Urmia city (different sections of Imam Khomeini Street). According to the findings, different parts of Imam Khomeini Street, have different identities and thus create different senses of places. The research method used is descriptive-analytical using various methods such as library study, documentation and presence in the environment and questionnaire for data collection (field observations and questionnaire design and interviewing). The results of the study confirms the hypothesis that different sections of Emam Khomeini Axis has different impacts on people’s sense of place and meanings of the street.
