Abstract

Considering different interpretation of an ISLAMIC CITY and urban development, the study of the character of an ISLAMIC CITY can be effective in analyzing Islamic urban development. The concept of ISLAMIC CITY which has been used by orientalists is based on this assumption that Islam is a comprehensive value system and determines all models and behaviors of a social organization. Relying on descriptive-analytical method, reviewing texts, sources and illustrated documents, this article is an attempt to study the character of an ISLAMIC CITY. Explaining the features which are necessary to understand any phenomenon, the present article tries to deduct the characteristics of an ISLAMIC CITY. Elaborating the establishment and development of an ISLAMIC CITY and factors affecting on its formation, the article studies the urban physical nature. In line with this ideal, the physical components (fixed components) of Islamic cities have been reviewed. In addition to the study of physical structure, the method of forms and shapes of Islamic cities have been noticed which are of importance in analyzing the character of Islamic cities. Furthermore, talking into consideration all urban living aspects, the impact of Islam on the way of life and identity of the inhabitants of city has been studied. The results of this article indicate that the term of ISLAMIC CITY indicates the specific cultural, social and historical identity of its inhabitants. The physical space of most of Islamic cities is under the influence of its territorial and geographical features which confirm a common spirit resulting from divine schools of thought. The continuation of historical and primary course is a strategy which can help with the re-flourishing state of concepts such as the concept of ISLAMIC CITY.
