Worldview and ideology of Islam is one of the main factors in shaping of Islamic cities which is related with Iranian thinking. It is formed Iranian-Islamic urban planning pattern in each settlement complex. In fact, Islamic city has a constant nature in which it has its own physical manifestation at any particular time and place. In other words, Islamic city has a potential nature in which it can have its own particular manifestation based on technology, available materials, updated knowledge and art in Public cultural space (Which is not in conflict with Islamic values and principles) at any time and place. So, Islamic city is a concept that numerous researchers have done different studies to achieve it. While providing a model of quarter space is existing concern in this field. Hence Iranian - Islamic model of quarter refers to systematic maps of the predetermined spaces in the quarter level according to the physical situation. The model is based on three basic elements including mosque oriented, quarter oriented and market. This study aimed to recognize the physical characteristics of Iranian - Islamic cities and provide a spatial pattern of the quarter and its structure based on the Islam principles Such as monotheism, prophet hood and resurrection in Iran cities. This study considers the assumption of identifying city quarter’s design aspects in Islamic period to apply considered principles in spatial designing quarters. Land army barracks quarter in Zanjan city is used as a case study. Research Methodology in This study is Development type with application approach which the text and content analysis is used to analyze the data. The results show that the use of the mosque as a multi-faced land use is associated directly with monotheism and indirectly with the resurrection. Its physical manifestation in city indicates Islamic-Iranian identity. The results show that in Islamic-Iranian cities building blocks associated with quarter scale, mosque relation with quarter spatial structure, quarter tissue relation with topography, surrounding spaces relation with mosques, central quarter religious pattern, blocks’ size, gridded streets, privacy and covering principles in designing are basic factors in designing spatial quarters. All these factors are parts of Islamic factors which can be applied in Land army barracks town in Zanjan as suitable design pattern. On the other hand, placement of services use with mosque-oriented can establish a collective space and social relations regulated with a focus on Islam. Finally Data existed in Isfahan school and data gathered in this study can be considered simultaneously (amalgamated) in order to be conformed to Islam principles and be used in cities quarters design. According to analysis and obtained results of the research case study can be stated which showing the Iranian – Islamic urban planning principles that effect of Iranian - Islamic schools such Isfahan school in the city quarters physical, explain and demonstrate thevarious aspects of Islam religion and its crystallization in the cities which it is reinforcement and giving identity to the Iranian and Islamic culture and thoughts in Iran urban s ystems and urban planning.
