Abstract: In public spaces, particularly urban markets, physical components, such as form, color, materials, type, and dimensions, can influence social interactions and impact the quality of the experience. Place attachment is a bond between people and a space. Traditional markets have played an integral role in the cultural and social development of cities, providing a foundation for the development of place attachment indices and a suitable environment for attendance, action, and the enhancement of citizen connectivity. This article aims to explore the relationship between physical elements and place attachment in the Arak market and how these elements can inform the design of modern architectural spaces. The article applies a descriptive-analytical methodology and relies on library, archival, and field observations as data-gathering methods.
