Abstract :
If we categorize the identity of place as a result of spatio-social construction of physical structure (objective), activity (human and nonhuman) and meaning (memory), this study has tried to explain identity of place in street’s space from the perspective of positivist and Phenomenological geography, explore these three components in relation to each other. The purpose of this study is to identify the direct and indirect effects of physical and mental components in the context of Shariati street space in Tabriz in creating social interaction and spatial recognition in order to assess the identity of place this street. This research is a descriptive-analytical and correlational research, and has been collected from library and field methods in terms of applied purpose and in relation to data collection method. Initially, due to the influence of spatial form through the characteristics of large-scale uses, diversity and mixing of uses, characteristics of the urban texture of the region (residential and population density), number of floors of buildings, granulation of building parts, possibility permeability between buildings, accessibility in the possibility of easy access to public space from the street space of Shariati area were analyzed. To analyze these components in the street space of Shariati area, euclidean distance models, neurological networks, and spatial statistics were used in ArcGIS environment. also, to investigate the effect of physical components of the street on identity of place, field data were collected through a questionnaire and then analyzed using a linear multivariate regression model. The results of the study and analysis of the maps in the physical factor analysis show that in the whole Shariati St. of Tabriz has high quality and acceptable physical characteristics.
