“…Although, preliminary bazaars were created to fulfill economical needs of the people, soon after, wide social and cultural relations arose and different function such as mosque, religious schools, public bath and palestra were added. It was changed into an urban centre for social, edjucational, and even political activities (Carmona et al, 2003).…”

Technological innovations have changed traditional cities and thrown up new industrial spaces in unforeseen locations. Bazaars or business complexes were among the most important parts of city spaces, and always had great impact on people's lives and their architecture. Due to the expansion of cities, the concept of bazaar has changed, and is replaced by distributed spaces called shopping centres. This study was based on examining the problems and the shortcomings of today's bazaars from the perspective of clients and users and providing solutions to improve practical conditions. To this end, the descriptiveanalytic survey was conducted in Tehran, and 272 questionnaires were distributed and collected randomly among visitors in four shopping malls. To scrutinise the hypothesis, the correlation tests, single variable T-test, and F-test were applied. The results from assessments using SPSS16 software showed that the mere external similarity between an environment and form of an element or meaning cannot represent the properties of desired principles for citizens. Therefore, during the design stage, it is necessary to pay enough attention not only to the concepts of a physical form, but also to the mental picture and psychological aspects that audiences receive from an area.

“…Since the quality of any place depends not only on its essential features, but also on the people who occupy it, the changes in the overall thinking of the social, economic and urban planning communities have had a significant impact on public space [1,3,[35][36][37][38][39][40][41]. The term "public space", which has been disputed, has led to definitions that reflect various characteristics, including ownership [38], people's behavior [42], accessibility [43] and democratic, responsive places [44]. The element of some degree of consensus in relation to public spaces is the concept that something has disappeared.…”

In this study, we explore the recognition of publicness as understood by everyday users of public space. By analyzing news articles in South Korea selected from 1 January 2010, to 31 December 2018, this study examines a discourse which is largely missing in the existing studies-the subjective experience and framing of contemporary spatial publicness by its end-users. After analyzing the contents from a total of 583 articles in the KINDS database, we develop a general typology of how contemporary spatial publicness is represented in South Korea. Although the scope and background of questions surrounding South Korea's recognition of contemporary spatial publicness are different from that of Western countries, a similar debate has emerged about what publicness means in the context of the architecture and urban space around the globe. By developing different thematic dimensions in the representations of contemporary spatial publicness, we further discuss the implications for future research to examine the pragmatic sensibilities of individuals and utility of semi-public/private space.

“…In terms of urban form, place-making translates into intensification of activities and a positive pedestrian experience. Ground floor uses create spaces where people feel comfortable and safe (Jacobs, 1992), while places of encounter and social interaction enhance the vitality of street life (Carmona et al, 2012).…”
