Abstract

Introduction: CREEKs are considered one of the key elements of spatial structure of the city Isfahan and since Safavid era, they have given Isfahan a distinctive feature, making it different from other Iranian cities. CREEKs, as one of the active URBAN EDGEs, have influenced the formation and quality improvement of surrounding neighborhoods and for years they have created freshness, increased the readability of urban spaces (finding directions and addresses), and created memories and a sense of belonging to a place. In today’s time, however, these identifying elements of city structure have lost their previous importance to a large degree, especially in historical neighborhoods. Several factors including shortage or lack of water, and consequently the decrease of green areas around the CREEKs and not using them as a public urban space, darkness and frightening areas near the walls of some CREEKs at night time have decreased the sense of security and reduced dynamic activities around the CREEKs. Therefore, the present research study aims at revitalization and quality improvement of URBAN EDGEs of CREEKs in Isfahan through LIGHTING.Material and method: Using descriptive-analytical method, the present study has aimed at investigating the present conditions of Farshadi CREEK as a case study to propose strategies and measures for nighttime LIGHTING and using COLOR and light to give identity to the CREEK. These measures are extendable and can be used for other CREEKs and URBAN EDGEs with similar features. As a result, the level of security will increase and life and activity will come back to neighborhoods at night and daytime.Results: In LIGHTING, especial attention should be paid to the COLOR of light, the direction of light, LED lamp, methods and modes of LIGHTING, and locating lamps. In addition, special features and different perceptive, functional, physical, visual, social and economic characteristics and roles of each URBAN EDGE should be taken into account in order to preserve the identity, roles and functions. By doing so, security and freshness will increase in neighborhoods and the city will be active, attractive and green at any time of day and night.Conclusion: Based on the present study, through using different LIGHTING techniques and methods obtained by the experiences of the world and Iran, as well as through using the creativity and participation of the public and natives, appropriate LIGHTING for CREEKs and URBAN EDGEs can be designed and applied with the help of modern and economic techniques and knowledge. As a result, environmental, social, and economic sustainability of URBAN EDGEs and CREEKs at nighttime and daytime can be achieved and activities, attraction and greenness of the city and neighborhoods can be preserved.
