        Identity, culture and related elements are not only conceptual components of urban space but also necessary to create urban space. Accordingly, the city and the public spaces express their thoughts, ideas and the cultural interactions and its form declares their functions and meanings. Urban spaces have provided the basis for people’s participation and interaction and have established a flow of culture, notion, and human experiences so that the presence of human beings in urban spaces leads to dynamism in urban spaces. Squares play a vital role in citizens’ minds and on the other hand, it is a field for the presence of people and their activities, which requires physical and functional continuity in the best way for the appearance of this meaning. The present study aims to apply the descriptive-analytical method using the SWOT matrix and the quantitative strategic planning matrix (QSPM), tries to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats and offers practical strategies to deal with weaknesses and threats by using the strengths and opportunities. The main concentration of the present study is on the physical-visual system using operational strategies following the defined strategies to organize the physical and visual system of the historical square of Vijoyeh, Tabriz, which currently lacks its historical and cultural identity. The aim is to restore life to the vital arteries of the historical context along with reviving the original identity of this field, and it is hoped that the presented practical results will be a way to revive similar historical contexts in order to take a step towards protecting the rich cultural of Iran and its historical identity.

        The universe is made up of living and non-living beings. Based on its capacity, each of them has a level of life. Human creations, because of the change or stability in the conditions of matter, make it possible discover or create and have the ability to create levels of life. The builders’ attempt to create works and structures which is somewhat close to these characteristics. Characteristics in which the sense of vitality, kindness and other qualitative components are strengthened. Therefore, the research emerges to ask such questions; which classification can be considered in relation to the levels of life in constructions? How has the spatial quality of traditional houses in Yazd achieved success with the presence of life components? The present article seeks to present or propose the concept of life classification in structures in which more properly is expressed the values and characteristics related to the life of structures. Therefore, it seems that this feature is more recognizable in traditional cities. In order to understand it precisely with reference to the historical texture of Yazd city, the patterns of the central courtyard houses, sunken garden and garden house are selected and classified. The research is based on analytical and descriptive method along with documentary and field data collection. Also, in a precise framework, all datas are collected and analyzed based on the principle of induction, and summarized the document. The result shows that, in the traditional houses of Yazd, six general systems related to the category of life can be identified. Life as an empirical thing exists in all beings. It looks like metaphorical, energical, biological, and Spiritual aspects. Finally life as an inspiring idea forms the structure of the research. Manuscript profile
