Therefore, implementing development plans that would provide a sense of unity and integration in relation to the city as a who（e is necessary. Traditional Iranian architecture is full of samples evolved during the course of Iranian history that can serve as architectural paragons of the city. In Iran＇s traditional cities, a sense of unity exists in various urban areas. The traditional city of Isfahan is one of the most valuable samples and was selected as the case study in this research. According（y, the most important questions of this research are as follows： （1） What is the role of bazaars in creating a sense of unity in the traditional cities of Iran？ （2） How do bazaars play out their ro（e in the integration of these cities？ This research focuses on the concept of a ＂traditional city＂ to determine the role of bazaars in such cities. The results show that bazaars are crucial in giving a sense of integrity to the concept of a traditional Iranian city. Bazaars provide cohesion among the different parts of cities, such as residential areas, as well as socio-political and trade centers. This condition means that traditional bazaars play two important roles in traditional cities： （1） they interconnect the different parts of thecity＇s physical structure; and （2） the crucial role of bazaars in a city＇s socia（ and cultural structure brings about unity among the citizens in the city. Bazaars as a unifying etement connect the main urban functions and guarantee the city＇s economic and social rife.展开更多

This parameter can be evaluated through measures such as collective people presence, mixed-use functions, diversity of activities, and other related supportive physical elements. The aim of this research is to evaluate women＇s communal life in terms of vitality measures within public spaces. The commercial setting of Isfahan’s traditional bazaar was selected as the study area. To enhance the credibility of the results, several data collection methods, for example, semi-structured individual interviews （n = 24）, semi-structured focused group interviews （five groups including 28 middle-aged women）, direct observation, snap photography, and unobtrusive behavioral observation of women in communal life within the selected study area, were employed. To analyze the collected data, qualitative content and descriptive analyses were used. Our results indicate that by increasing the vitality of a public space through its related measures, women＇s presence will grow, and through this growth, the quality of their communal life would be enhanced.展开更多

That’s what our marketing lecturer taught us some 30 years ago. In my years of travel, I’ve fervently applied that brand of philosophy to reap greater insights and gain richer experiences beyond the guide-books. I’ve since added 'eat what the locals eat'to the list and never looked back.展开更多
