Main Article Content

Abstract

Statement of the Problem: Perception is our sensory experience of the world, which requires the recognition of environmental stimuli and action responses to these stimuli. Architecture is multiple realms of sensory experiences that interact with each other and become interconnected and provide the field of perception of a space. In history, the "traditional Iranian Bazaars" were the center of social interactions with a wide range of utilities and constructions. These indoor bazaars, which are valuable relics of pre-modern times, can be considered as sensational spaces, unlike contemporary passages and shopping centers, which create a sense of belonging to users. Objectives: Considering the importance of the sensory perception system in the spatial perception and the role which this perception can play in the process of knowledge and behavior, the present study aims to investigate the relationship between the multi-sensory perception of the environment and creating the sense of place in the historical bazaars and modern commercial centers. Method: Historical-descriptive method was used to collect the data and the analytical-comparative method was used to analyze the data. Also, to investigate the relationship between perception of the environment and the sense of place, regression and correlation relations has been used. Data collection has been achieved through library studies and field surveys. The statistical population consisted of 227 users who were selected by random sampling. Result: The results of the research indicate that the suitable responsiveness to different dimensions of the sensory system in the historical bazaars has created a multi-sensory environment while maintaining the sensory domain interference. Statistical analysis and qualitative assessments also revealed that there is a positive and significant relationship between multi-sensory of the environment and the sense of place
