Phenomenology of Identity and Place in Historical Context

Looking at historical contexts، it is obvious that their formation and life are manifested in a coordinated and integrated form through a historical، cultural، social and environmental continuity. The residents of those contexts have been receiving their identities through social communication and participation in the creation of the lasting spaces. The impact of such lasting places in forming the individual and social identity of the residents in a section of its life have diminished as a result of economic and social and cultural changes because of introduction of new technologies، globalization، space and time density. Despite broad studies conducted on the method of influence of concepts of identity and place and the mutual link among them in historical contexts، no clear relation is presented there، whereas having learned about the method of impact of such kinds of concepts، it will be possible to struggle against the phenomenon of identity lose in historical textures and lack of its presence in new textures. Making efforts to know the nature of identity and place، and using phenomenological approach، this paper attempts to study their relations with a view to historical textures and to present a conceptual model on formation of place identity. The presence of a strong and two-way link between the perceptual and discipline organization and determination of urban space will increase reading، the improvement of perceptual organization، reinforcement of link with urban space، better reading of urban elements & components and a clear understanding of places and reinforcement of individual & social identity.
