Abstract :

In developed countries that have a rich cultural heritage, preservation and restoration of valuable historical context in the framework of its spatial management and the development of public spaces is still an important area and a permanent link to success. From this point of view, valuable historical contexts are considered as special and opportunity-creating places in terms of physical, social, cultural components and the people of the city. Based on this, the purpose of the research is to analyze the performance of the urban public space in the valuable historical context of the 12th district of Tehran.According to the nature of the subject and its general purpose, the present research method is descriptive and analytical and it was conducted in the 12th district of Tehran metropolis with the help of a questionnaire on the number of 50 people. The components have been evaluated in 3 cultural, physical and social sections and in the form of 20 variables. Pearson, t and regression tests have been used to measure the impact of public space and historical context.The findings show that one unit of change in the standard deviation of cultural actions and the dynamics of native and local life causes the standard deviation of the dependent variable (public space of historical context) to change by 81 and 70 percent. While a unit change in the standard deviation of the activity pattern only causes the standard deviation of the dependent variable to change by 24%.The results show that the social component has a better status than the physical and cultural components. In other words, the variables of cultural actions and the dynamics of native and local life have a far greater contribution compared to other variables.
