Abstract :
Sense of place is a vital social-urban concept fostering a unique, bidirectional relationship between humans and their environment. Perception, a mental process, imbues sensory experiences with meaning, helping humans comprehend relationships and object meanings. This study focuses on the sensory perception process in the Tabriz historical Bazaar community, aiming to explore the role of sensory components in promoting the sense of place. The research, an applied type, utilizes a survey method with a combination of quantitative and qualitative approaches. The methodology involves collecting library information and using existing documents for theoretical studies. Field studies employ questionnaire, observation, and focus on environmental information. The case study centers on the Tabriz historical Bazaar community, with the statistical population comprising Bazaar users selected through random sampling in January 2022. Results indicate that sensory perception components significantly affect the sense of place in the Tabriz historical Bazaar. Notably, chemical sense, sense of hearing, and body sense exhibit the highest correlation with the overall sense of place in this vibrant community.
