City with culture-oriented pattern can’t be implemented anywhere in the field. Identity is an important factor that shapes the townscape. A townscape is a collection of natural and man-made factors that have been formed under the influence of special natural, cultural, social and economic characteristics of that given town and it's the place of materialization of the special characteristics of that town.
On the other hand, urban spaces can be reminded people the symbolic aspects of culture and history.
In facing with the appearance of modern towns, one sees a crisis caused by the disproportion of spaces to their current functions, composition of inconsistent uses, uniformity and lack of dynamism in urban spaces. This paper describes the concept of identity and culture. In terms of cultural identity can affect the townscape and the face of the city.
Research Objectives:
1- What factors play a role in physical identity of Iranian historical cities?
2- How can the component “culture” influence on the physical identity of Iranian cities?
3- Can the cultural identity components of cities be proposed as the landmarks and signs in the historical cities?
Research Hypothesis:
1- Cities’ cultural identity components can be presented as symbols in historical cities.
2- Attention to the culture concept in the form and sense of today Iranian cities can be controlled cities’ image identity crisis effectively.
Research Methodology:
The method explored in components of the physical identity of Shiraz city is a descriptive – analytical and field method to gather information and documents are available.
Results:
The results of this study show that the towns have an appearance in which uniformity of the urban fabrics, inconsistency between the apparent form of the space and its meaning, inattention to the notion of form and meaning in our culture is observable and consequently, there are forms that have no meaning. In addition, research suggests that the consequences of belonging to a place in the Iranian city of proving spatial identity. So, the components of cultural identity of the city can be considered as signs or landmarks of the historical cities.
Urban semiotics are considered as a valuable tool for the representation of the cultural identity components in urban areas. According to the results, the following suggestions can be considered in the cultural sphere of urban design:
1- Recreating and revival Iranian historical cities with respect to the cities’ natural, synthetic and human identity components.
2- Strengthening of historical cities’ textures interoperability with the approach of regeneration of cultural identity components of cities.
3- Locating of urban landmarks and elements of town squares as a contiguous cognitive and perceptual map for strengthening the cities’ cultural components.
4- Taking advantage of peoples’ memories and appropriate concepts to design of signs, landmarks and elements.
5- Creating the cultural spaces with the appropriate functioning of the cultural dynamics of neighborhoods and cities.
6- Highlight the urban elements and landmarks form with the proper use of materials and colors appropriate to the climate and the cultural identity of each city.

Abstract Language as a fluid and flexible interpretation, privileges hidden and evident capabilities. The continuity of life for a language vocabularies usually related to the incompatibility of different language levels of that tongue, based on this some of the poets resort to the art of Art of metaphor, While consolidating placement of vocabularies in the language, to keep away any hastily Speculation. The intention of the writer from word identification is to pale or sometimes even disappear the certain meaning of vocabularies which results in considering metaphor. Hafez is one of the kinds of poets who, not only revived some of the words from black holes of aberration, rather with a new representation of its own age with the utilization of continuity based approach; built a new cultural and social model. In this regard in his verse, we meet multiple words such as: <<anywhere, Sore eyes, open mouth, Conspicuous, Ostentatious, Round rep and etc is meant wild >>. Which with paling the certain vocabulary meaning; topped them up… and with his own Interpretation makes them much more valuable and meaningful. So this article aims to analyze some of these examples in Hafez lyrics. And answers to this question that: how we can resort to the art of metaphor to acquire this identity in vocabularies?

ABSTRACT Avatar by James Cameron is a visual narration of an ambitious journey of man to the planet Pandora to obtain a rare mineral, “unobtainium.” The mission cannot be accomplished until the indigenous are displaced and “Tree-of-Life,” the residence of the people, grown on the land of the mine is felled. U.S. Troops on the mission are accompanied by a scientific team led by Dr. Grace Augustine. They try to send Jake Sully, the paraplegic solider, into the aborigines’ community via an artificial body made out of human and Na’vi DNAs, called “Avatar” to study aborigines and possibly convince them to surrender peacefully. Yet, this never happens as Colonel Miles Quaritch, the military commander, chooses to accomplish the mission by force. The war between intruders and inhabitants brings about a huge amount of environmental damage and oppression of resisting people, especially the women. At the heart of war, Cameron projects the love story of Jake and Neytiri from Pandora leading to Jake’s disillusionment with reality of life in Pandora. Avatar, rich in theme and subject matter reconstructs the history of discovery and colonisation of Australia and brings to the fore concerns of contemporary man including the consumption of natural resources, eco-devastation, and man-woman relationship which is cast into the framework of science fiction. In this sense, a virtual image-body that represents individuals in computer-generated terrains provides a reference to the future of virtual technology and an implication to the rise of new political powers from Asia.
