| Summary: | The urban environment is a physical space with social and psychological dimensions for the aim of finding daily life and the basis for diverse experiences. Meanwhile, the public spaces provide us the possibility to comprehend and experience the presence of people and lead us to identify the viewpoints. The analysis of the users’ preferences of the urban spaces is an approach to achieve the urban experiences. The aim of this study was to find out the preferences of the users of the commercial spaces of the city of Esfahan. Following the response to this aim, an adaptive comparison was done between the preference of the users of the traditional commercial spaces and the newly built commercial spaces based the evolutionary theory. This evolutionary perspective of the users’ preferences is influenced by the environmental qualities, and the preferred space is to some extent equivalent to the subjective evaluating image of the environment in the most prominent level of the location experience. The methodology of this study, as a qualitative method, includes expressing and completing the indicators of experiencing and preferences assessment of the users. Moreover, the phenomenological approach is the considered interpretation and using the semantic differentiation technique has been evaluated in five urban spaces (urban – extramural) with similar scale to Esfahan with the commercial uses (Naghsh-e Jahan Sq., Imam Ali Sq., City Center Complex, Jahan Nama Building, Park Complex).In this study, the three main dimensions of experience are considered in the location preference model (i.e. the objective perspective, the subjective perspective, and the evaluation perspective), and the obtained results from investigating the triple indices of the citizens’ preferences can ultimately be measured in the location experience dimensions, and based on that, the urban spaces can be analyzed in an adaptive comparison. Conclusion from the results and comparing the factors in each space and comparing with other spaces shows that, the considered factors in the space evaluation among the whole regarded dimensions (including the factor of security) lead to space preference, although the subjective perspective factors (including readability factor) and objective perspective factors (such as the factor of natural and green elements) are also essential for the preference of the urban space. |
