Explaining the Components of Contemporization and Quality Improvement of Emamzadeh Saleh’s (AS) Adjacent Texture

Religious places are considered as important areas in cities so that they have supplied the bio balance and social life in the past. The development of cities and population growth have disrupted the balance of such textures and caused fundamental changes in their structure. An example of this issue is the inefficient texture of Emamzadeh Saleh (AS) which has been damaged in terms of historical values with the expansion of the city and its adjacent commercial space. Thus, regeneration of this urban area based on the recognition of contextual problems and the attitude of Islamic city studies and contemporization is among the objectives of the present study.

This study is applied-developmental and its method is based on descriptive-analytical method. The library is the data collection tool for discussing the component of regeneration and the criteria are extracted through analyzing the data. In addition, the analysis of texture is performed through field surveys and observations.

By reviewing the previous studies, Islamic city strategies are explained based on environmental, physical, economic, and social criteria and the components of contemporization are extracted based on these criteria. Besides, the strengths and weaknesses of the adjacent urban area have explored for identifying the regeneration components.

Urban regeneration facing runaway development requires an identity-oriented and originality-based approach in order to restore the past social value based on society needs by the help of the latest factors. In Islamic city studies, the status of religious places is of great importance in quality improvement and its epitome is contemporization adjacent areas of Ememzadeh Saleh (AS).
