The Rhythm Analysis of the Use of Space in the Public Spaces of the City Center the Case Study of Zanjan Sabzehmeydan

The research aims to know the daily life experience of people in the public spaces of the center and to explain their behavioral patterns in the said spaces. This research is qualitative and inductive-interpretative, to explore the rhythm of revitalized spaces with the example of Zanjan Square Green. The method of data collection is observation, continuous monitoring, and friendly interviews. The time scale of the research is the months of Shahrivar and Mehr, the first, middle, and weekend days (Saturday, Tuesday, and Thursday) and 8 to 10, 11 to 13, and 17 to 19, and the spatial scale includes three sequences and 6 local stations. The collected data were analyzed using the interpretive qualitative method, and the results were analyzed in the form of an interpretive report, qualitative tables, and a radar dispersion model. Research variables include density, stratification, morphology, proximity, extent, prominence, continuity, sequence, speed, repetition, movement, and synchronization. The findings show that despite the continuous connection of the Sabzehmeydan complex, the rhythm of the space is different and changes according to the social stratification of people. The temporal concentration of voluntary-social behaviors is in the evening, and mandatory-necessary behaviors are in the morning. In traditional and identity spaces, the spatial and temporal rhythm is mostly masculine, repeatable, continuous, and regular, and the radar of social-voluntary behaviors with a tendency towards its surroundings has a relatively stable daily and weekly behavioral pattern.
