Evaluation of Compatibility Rate of the Surrounding Appliction of Historical Works with Urban Tourism Development Case Study Cultural-Historical Places of Tabriz

Abstract

In historical-cultural tourism discussions, vicinity applications of historical places are important in terms of the interaction of tourist with the place. In most cases the surrounding applications of historical places have less compatibility with historical spaces and result in conversion of the valuable historical places to the separated places and free from the spaces connected to them especially in terms of spatial function. This paper is based on evaluating the compatibility rate of the surrounding applications of historical works in cultural-historical area of Tabriz with the aim of attracting tourists. In order to do this the needed data have been collected from tourists by using questionnaire, and the statistical calculations are made to find the relationships between the variable using SPSS software and chi-square tests. The results show that changing the application patterns of surrounding spaces of historical works would increase the residence period of tourists and visitors of historical places. Therefore there should be an effective planning to provide supportive and service spaces surrounding the historical places. On the other hand considering the tourism paths and designing the connecting rings in the distance between historical spaces, along with special facilities, can create a strong incitement for generating new spaces in historical textures and make them desirable and lively places.
