As the word "public space" is used several times throughout this paper, before initializing the discussion, the
concepts of and approaches towards public space is briefly and generally discussed here: public space could
be considered as the realm for presence of people and as a physical-spatial response to their social, cultural,
economic and political needs and appeal; a Physical response which sometimes is offered and finally generated as
a down-up process by people themselves and sometimes made by authorities in the form of an up-down process.
In fact, public spaces as an arena for social interaction, mixing and intercourse with people have undeniable role
and importance in promoting quality of urban life, public coherence and correlation, sense of socializing, social
self-motivation, public discourse and etc,. In lieu, people always give liveliness and a unique life to these spaces
by their permanent or at times and accidental presence in these spaces either for planned aims like shopping or
taking part in a particular ceremony, or rest and recreation, or to see and be seen, or to follow special customs
and formalities in particular days or to pass to get to work and simultaneously looking at happenings and incidents
of the urban show.
The main purpose of this paper is to study and analyze public spaces and the social life in the historical city,
Varamin. On this basis, it is aimed to represent a more or less clear image and perception of public spaces of
Varamin through considering concepts and suppositions such as daily life, social interactions, companionship, faceto-
face encounters, and so on. With regard to fieldwork, the descriptive-analytical narration of the content as well
as physical characteristics of places and spaces of Varamin has been represented in the framework of three major
types (Urban spaces, Religious spaces, Green spaces)and one minor type (potential public spaces). In conclusion,
through a confrontation between fieldwork findings and theoretical rudiments, features and characteristics of
Varamin is explained based on the three physical, functional and social criteria.
The central and old part of Varamin can be considered as the most seminal public space of the city. This space
can be understood as a context of emergence and manifestation of diverse aspects of the concept of the public
space such as: social interactions, the sense of community, social self-motivation, and even shopping, relaxing and
entertainment, looking , being seen and etc. Besides, other spaces and places such as Saint of Hoseynreza, the
Family Park, Panzdah-e Khordad Park, Choub-Bori Square and so on, each of which is based on its nature and
characteristics, partly representing a part of diverse dimensions and manifestations of the public space. Among
these, studying and analyzing such spaces reveal that all with a more or less divergent intensity and weakness,
apart from the quality of their physical-aesthetic facets and dimensions, as appealing urban settlements can be
the arena to fulfill people’s social, cultural, economic and even political demands and aspirations; thus the stage to
appear and crystallize an urban life show.
