| Urban squares have historically played a pivotal role in shaping cities’ sociocultural and spatial identity. This study investigates the hierarchical framework underlying the formation and evolution of Imam Square in Hamedan, Iran, within the broader context of Iranian urban development. The research explores the square’s spatial, cultural, and historical dimensions by employing a combination of qualitative and quantitative methodologies, including field observations, in-depth interviews with experts, and data collected from questionnaires distributed among the citizens of Hamedan. The designed questionnaire is divided into three main sections: the first part includes demographic information of the respondents, the second part addresses the citizens’ opinions and experiences regarding the recent changes to the square, and the third part gathers their suggestions for improving and enhancing the role of Imam Central Square or sweet Square. The data analysis is conducted using both quantitative methods, such as tables, charts, and statistical analyses, and qualitative methods, including thematic analysis to extract main themes from citizens’ suggestions and opinions. The findings reveal that the transformation of Imam Square reflects a dynamic interaction between historical legacies, cultural practices, and modern urban pressures. By employing this dual analysis approach, the study provides a comprehensive picture of the current state of the square and the impact of the changes on the social and cultural interactions of the citizens. The results of this research serve as a basis for presenting practical recommendations and improvement strategies for Imam Central Square or Sweet Square. Additionally, the analysis can assist urban managers and planners in better considering the needs and expectations of citizens in future decision-making and strengthening the role of the square as one of the important urban centers. These insights contribute to contemporary discourse on preserving cultural heritage while addressing the challenges of urbanization. | ||
