ABSTRACT Situated at the center of cities, Iranian bazaars have not only shaped the structure of cities but also serve as a fundamental urban space. In recent decades, unsustainable developments deteriorating the old historic districts of cities have negatively influenced the physical, economic, and social aspects of bazaars. This is the most serious challenge of urban regeneration. Focusing on Shiraz and Kerman bazaars, the present research aims at proposing a new approach for studying the morphology of Iranian bazaars as highly distinguished urban sites. The qualitative method was applied to analyze these cases by conducting desk and field studies while investigating the historical maps of Shiraz and Kerman bazaars according to Trancik’s theories of urban spatial design (1986. Finding lost space: theories of urban design. John Wiley & Sons). Then, content analysis was used to extract the associated meaning of bazaar through in-depth interviews. The results show that Iranian bazaars, as an important urban space, have a pivotal organizational pattern according to figure-ground theory. Moreover, the so-called linkage theory suggested a group form and mega form role for Iranian bazaars which shapes the most important structure of the connections. Finally, the results of place theory indicated that these bazaars carry a symbolic value for nearby residents.

伊朗集市的新形态学方法：城市空间设计理论在设拉子和克尔曼集市的应用

摘要 伊朗集市位于城市的中心，不仅塑造了城市的结构，而且还是一个基本的城市空间。近几十年来，不可持续的发展使城市旧历史街区恶化，对集市的自然、经济和社会方面产生了负面影响。这是城市更新最严峻的挑战。本研究以设拉子和克尔曼集市为重点，旨在提出一种新方法来研究伊朗集市作为高度杰出的城市遗址的形态。根据 Trancik 的城市空间设计理论（1986 年。寻找丢失的空间：城市设计理论。John Wiley & Sons），在调查设拉子和克尔曼集市的历史地图的同时，通过进行案头和实地研究，应用定性方法来分析这些案例。 . 然后，通过深度访谈，利用内容分析提取bazaar的相关含义。结果表明，伊朗集市作为重要的城市空间，根据图形-背景理论具有关键的组织模式。此外，所谓的联系理论为伊朗集市提出了群体形式和巨型形式的角色，它塑造了最重要的联系结构。最后，地方理论的结果表明，这些集市对附近居民具有象征意义。所谓的联系理论为伊朗集市提出了群体形式和巨型形式的角色，它塑造了最重要的联系结构。最后，地方理论的结果表明，这些集市对附近居民具有象征意义。所谓的联系理论为伊朗集市提出了群体形式和巨型形式的角色，它塑造了最重要的联系结构。最后，地方理论的结果表明，这些集市对附近居民具有象征意义。
