Abstract

Problem statement: The concept of resilience has long been published to explain how different types of systems respond to unexpected shocks, and research on resilience of environments to abnormal hazards has just begun, requiring extensive reflection and consideration. Spatial resilience thinking is as one of the new dimensions in the field of resilience and architecture. This dimension seeks to address the issue of the vitality and dynamics of the architectural space by preserving identity and function through attention to specific characteristics and capabilities of the space over time versus gradual and slow disturbances. resilient space as the appropriate context for possiblity continued vitality provides dynamic while maintaining performance; It shows little vulnerability in the face of crises over time by the spatial capabilities, and responds to changing conditions through adaptation to the needs and demands of the society, and satisfies spatial users' satisfaction with different tastes and guarantees and sustains the vital system of space. But most of the newly constructed spaces are vulnerable to crises and lose their efficiency quickly and the users of space leave and vacate; Therefore, the historical bazaars of Iran, as one of the valuable spaces that have continued to operate despite changes in different periods and have been able to meet and provide the suitable body for the needs of the day, are remarkable. Therefore, to resolve part of this epistemic vacuum, the present study focuses on the limited domain of the Amir complex in the historical bazzar of Tabriz, considering its position and role in the life of the Bazzar Tabriz has paid off to the rooting of the resilience of this space and examining its spatial capabilities. So this research seeks to answer the question of how resilience has been achieved in the historical space of Iranian bazaars? And how has the resilience of the Amir complex in the historical bazzar of Tabriz come about in light of the changes in recent years?

Abstract

The term “resilience” in the field of architecture and urban planning is a new concept that has recently been considered by experts and theorists in this circle. This phrase (resilience) has spread during time and the other aspects and dimensions related to urban communities such as social, economic, etc. have been also considered. The most important part is that spatial aspect. This dimension deals with the resilience of urban spaces that is continuing of the existence while preserving their identity during historical various changes. One of the types of urban spaces that despite its various environmental changes and crises throughout its history has desirably continued its life are The Grand mosques. So this question is posed that what factors have led to the resiliency of historical mosques over a long period of time? Therefore, this study be posed to investigate the Jameh Mosque of Isfahan and factors that have caused this urban space being resilient. The research method is descriptive-analytical method and content analysis approach. Initially, with the method of deductive reasoning and referring to reliable sources, two social and physical resilience factors were extracted from the theoretical concepts of this field and presented as indicators of the conceptual model of spatial resilience and then it was evaluated by examining the research case study for which was chosen the Jameh Mosque of Isfahan. In general, the effective factors in the spatial resilience of the mosque can be mentioned as follows: Physically resilience; fistly, it would be permeability which has increased resilience. And concerning the second, it could be readability 3. Flexible construction of the mosque through the appropriate ratio between mass and space, modulation (standardization) along with unique and special elements of the mosque (this is significant factor whether in an architectural unit or on an urban scale) 4. Strength in the construction of the building through design, execution And suitable materials have become possible and with the continuous restoration of the space, which has made it possible to update and adapt the function of this urban space, has caused the improvement of the physical resilience of this mosque and consequently its spatial resilience. From a social point of view; 1. Existence of various uses through the flexible form and universality of space to fit contemporary needs, mixing cultural, economic and religious uses in space, which facilitates the performance of today's uses in the body of yesterday. 2. Possibility of access and movement from this space to adjacent uses. 3. Existence of environmental comfort in this space, which is due to the air conditioning and away from pollution (air, sound) caused by the sub-climate in this space and other facilities in this space. 4. Paying attention to aesthetic factors in the design of the mosque, which is a motivating factor for the continuation of activities in the mosque 5. The unique identity of the mosque, which has been obtained due to the existing historical, cultural and social values. 6. The sense of belonging and attachment of the visitors to the place, has caused the continuation of the use of this space and subsequently the spatial adaptation of this historic mosque. These factors, which are components of the spatial resilience model structure, are categorized in eight general categories. As a result, this research indicate that spatial resilience is eight factors behind this.

Abstract

Problem expression: In recent years, following the occurrence of disasters, the concept of resilience has received much attention in many scientific circles. Resilience is a multifaceted concept that seeks to minimize the damage caused by a crisis. Meanwhile, most planners pay more attention to the physical dimension. This is if the uncertainty of the severity and type of risks, the emergence of new crises and man-made, as well as attention to the capacity of communities in the face of disruption and improvement of conditions, has shifted the focus to the social dimension of resilience. The focus on the role of community members in the face of crisis and their ability and capacity to improve the situation is also that individuals and communities can cope with any crisis and change the situation without despair. In the meantime, mosques have long been involved in crises and societal issues and as a jihadi center by using and organizing the capacities of the people, in the face of crises and change and improvement of conditions and general resilience of societies, has played a key role.
The Objective of research: In this study, an attempt has been made to evaluate the status of mosques and the impact it has on the social resilience of residents, and to address the question of "to what extent have mosques been able to be effective on social resilience?"
Research Method: In order to achieve the objectives of the research, Naser Khosrow neighborhood and Negin town, which are adjacent to each other but have serious differences in terms of physical context and social and economic status, have been studied as study examples. The research method is descriptive-analytical and a questionnaire was used to obtain additional data. The statistical population of the study is 375 for Naserkhosrow neighborhood and 374 for Negin town using Cochran's formula. Spearman correlation coefficient has also been used to analyze the data.
Findings of the research: In general, mosques have long been established as the most spiritual and popular organization of the people, which has a high capacity and potential to attract public participation in various fields, in addition to special functions (worship function) and creating a bed for worship, self-cultivation and attainment. Peace of mind provides the basis for the formation of a social base and focus for the presentation of ideas and perspectives, insight, cooperation and collaboration in solving problems and dilemmas. Mosques have always adapted to the current needs of society and have tried to solve them according to the circumstances. This is important in recent years and considering the role and actions of mosques in the face of various crises such as natural disasters, sanctions and economic and political issues, hard and soft wars, biological measures (corona virus) can be seen and understood. Mosques, by utilizing and organizing to the maximum of all available capacities, create a spontaneous flow in order to solve the problems facing the society, which is effective in resuscitating and deterring communities in the face of shocks and crises, as well as preventing and reducing the dangers of such problems. Are. Therefore, in this study, sense of belonging, social participation, knowledge and awareness, personal capacity, trust, experiences, social responsibility and social interactions were considered as effective factors on social resilience and to achieve the objectives of the study. The results showed that mosques had a great impact on all factors including knowledge and awareness. The results also showed that despite the relatively low presence of neighborhood residents in mosques, this has a great impact on the social resilience of residents. In other words, it can be stated that increasing the presence in mosques has a great impact on the social resilience of residents and now that mosques have been satisfied with their worship role and other maps have been neglected, the activation of mosques in different areas and maps can be Increasing attendance increases the resilience of communities directly and indirectly. It is worth mentioning that due to the fact that the attendance rate in mosques has been significantly reduced, but these mosques have the capacity to become an active and relief base in times of crisis and in the event of an accident, play a pivotal role at the neighborhood level. They play. It is also important to note that, in addition to the knowledge and awareness factor that requires education, the strengthening of other components affecting social resilience is often done indirectly. Mosques as a place for continuous gathering of people with different views and social levels, gradually increase social solidarity, increase interactions, sense of belonging and the like. Practicing divine traditions such as Qarzat al-Hasna, helping fellow human beings also gives depth to these factors. Voluntary cooperation in collective activities and actions (ceremonies and occasions) that can lead to the formation of shared social memories and experiences also plays an important role in the factors affecting social resilience.
