عنوان المقالة:دور خصائص الشوارع التجارية في التأثير على الاحساس بالمكان A Review Paper on the Role of Commercial Streets’ Characteristics in Influencing Sense of Place
Streets are an important part of open public spaces that reflect the character and the sense
of place of cities. Streets have many functions that give them their sense of place in the
cities, as well as reflect the character of cities by their physical characteristics. Due to the
unfit development of street characteristics, changing some of them, and remove others,
the sense of place is interrupted, thus, affecting the people’s feelings and perception
of the streets. This paper attempts to review the roles of the physical characteristics of
commercial streets in giving the sense of place in city centers. The aim of the study is to
determine theoretical framework of the roles of the physical characteristics of commercial
streets in giving the sense of place in city centers. The paper reveals that location, physical
appearance, landscape features, and quality of views represent as the physical characteristics
in streets, which play different roles in accessibility, recognition, legibility, safety, comfort,
and visibility.
