Abstract :

Crisis Management is a new method of challenging the unexpected events’ consequences and crisis resulted from it, which avoids them through a scientific and systematic approach, and if the crisis happens, it efficiently tries to reduce the destructing results. Studies show that the crisis management only has been dealing with the quantitative troubles of earthquake, war, hurricane, etc. while qualitative aspects of problems such as spiritual crisis have been disregarded. One of the ignored crisis which may be an origin of some other crisis is so-called “Identity Crisis”.Low speed movement, of societies in the past and limited events of those had been led humans and societies have distinct and defined identity which infrequently faced with sudden changes. And so during time, societies identity had gradual evolution. But condition of today world and accomplished evolution in different area of sciences, technology and particulary information technology course and unlimited presence of that in contemporary human life and problems such as universalized and universalization, changed identity problem to one of biggest contemporary human problem and so identity crisis has been changed to one of most important challenges of human in modern, civilized world. on one hand , this problem challenged someone and on the other hand , this was base for challenged someone with gains. So, society can prove itself in this course which can cause to appear excellent and unique identity. Otherwise, there is no alternative except that won't obey against mentioned events.    But, there is reinforced and proved relation between human identity and related effects, and on the other hand, cities hand been and will be as one of most important human societies signs during history , so , identity dimension of cities and spaces of that , are very important in this course. Because, cities identity, show (present) their natives identity and even, higher than it, will formed identity of their inhabitants. So, identity crisis of cities will affect on fate of their in habitants and even will be forming base of human identity crisis. So, attention to identity crisis of cities must be higher than turning to that only in pure theoretical subject form. And because of importance of problem, must form applied approach to this today societies problem and for that, present research has accomplished with purpose of turning to attention necessity to identity crisis of urban spaces in general management format.   This research is going to define the importance of ‘identity crisis’ in urban space which is very important in the human beings’ life and on the one hand, its mutual relation between human’s identity and the resulted effects, and on other hand, the importance of cities and urban space as one of the achievements of human being which a symbol of communities’ culture and civilization. During studies, however, I initially give you definitions of ‘location identity’ and ‘location identity crisis’. Then, by defining the relation between them ,'identity' and ‘human identity crisis’, I discuss about the significance of considering the management of identity crisis in urban space.
