Abstract: Rapid changes, especially modern ones, in historic cities have led to losing meaning in many urban spaces with identities and have made them useless. It has also made these urban spaces not only lack their past identity but also lose their functions for satisfying people’s need. This research has scrutinized problems of the case study and tried to propose solutions for making a place regarding potentials of a historic urban context. The study aims to investigate the place-making approach in an urban space with cultural and historical aspects. The research method is descriptive-analytic. Descriptive method is used to present definitions and concepts of the subject in its theoretical base by investigating library resources especially lately written articles. Analytic method is accomplished by the analysis of the acquired information through Cronbach’s Alpha method. It is considered to be a measure of scale reliability by SPSS. Findings predicate that people are more interested in places that are adaptable to their social and cultural needs and the historical and climatic features of their hometown. Trying to provide cultural and recreational functions that meet contemporary needs of various ages would make this urban space more popular.
