In description of the concept of identity and communications and their feed back toward city, what required an independent and comprehensive debate, is a following questionnaire of the physical aspect of city and identity, however, a question evokes that whether this is physical aspect of city following identity or identity following physical aspect? This paper pointing some definitions and concepts related to the concept of identity, probes into this fundamental question. In current study, analytic-descriptive research method is applied so as to find an answer for the question regarding "logical reasoning". Forwards and in a logical and deductive reasoning approach, it studies the presentational issue.Results of the current study indicate that identity of city is somewhat innate and internal affecting the physical aspect of city, and as a result, physical façade of those cities dependent on a specific culture and ideology become different from those of other cultures and structures. In fact it lies in a mutual relation that the physical aspect of city is shaped and then existing physical aspect causes continually and alterations and consequently sustainable changes in identity concepts and components of a state.

The structure is among others concept in which it can be studied in the Urban Historic physical Texture system of Yazd city. This texture is spread and complex. The mentioned system includes different structures. For discussing about the structure of this system, it was needed to be studied its texture. The frequency of subjects of the texture is caused to indicate to only some cases that it is connected by its structure. This research has been studied by systematic approach. The method of this research is a descriptive-analytical one. First the structure concept was definite and then the structure connection model was designed by the structure concept and connection theory model.The framework and theoretical foundation of this research was formed on base system theory and abovementioned cases. These subjects formed the theoretical foundation and outlook of this research in order to compose the structure of this system. This research is produced by observations and studies as well as the analysis of the system. Studies showed that the Urban Historic physic texture system of Yazd city is the resultant of different subsystems textures. For example: landuses, districts texture, superblocks texture, blocks and unites subsystem texture (internal texture). External textures are produced by this texture relation with containing and equivalent systems of it. Woof, Wrap, Knot and Web are elements of it as well as its subsystems. The Webs were produced by woofs, wraps, and knots arrangement in next together. Many different varieties of these webs have been observed in them.They were formed connections by relations between woof, wrap, knot and web in each of subsystems.Weaving and adhesiveness are two origin relationships in the connections between texture elements.Matrix is adhesiveness factor of elements in the Urban Historic physic texture of Yazd city and its subsystems. This texture has been produced by horizontal and vertical textures of landuse, districts, superblocks, blocks, and unites subsystem. The structures of subsystems are match with their textures.They have been created by different structures of landuse, districts, superblocks, blocks, unites subsystem. Units division, connectors, nods and boundaries are elements of structure. These elements have different varieties of connection in each of subsystems of the Urban Historic physic texture of Yazd city and they have made separate structure in them. It is resultant all of them. In this system and its subsystems were considered bus, central, organic, checkered, and Hybrid Structures. Furthermore, It was recognized horizontal and vertical Structure in some Subsystems of this system. Totaling of these studies showed that the structure of the Urban Historic physic texture of Yazd city is resultant of the horizontal and vertical Structure. Each of these structures are created by a lot of internal and external connections, for example: one by one, one by some and some by some connections of shapes of landuse Subsystems and their relationships with together in intermediate, shapes of districts and their relationships with together in the intermediate, shapes of superblocks and their relationships with together in the intermediate, shapes of blocks and their relationships with together in the intermediate, and shapes of unites of the Urban Historic physic texture system of Yazd city and their relationships with together in the intermediate. This structure follows hierarchy principle.

Throughout this article, after a brief review of some Structural Linguistics theory principles, the author has tried to give an analysis of urban form. This analysis which has been considered as "Structural-Syntactic", has as its main purpose the explanation of urban physical change and metamorphosis. To reach this aim, "physical string (or sentence)", as a unit for analysis, has been defined, recognized and studied. By evoking the notion of physical strings, a syntactic and semantic interpretation of urban form and space can be taken into account, by which one can explain many of the spatial and physical fragmentations and permutations in an urban context.As a tool for interpreting the urban form, the structural and semantic approach to literary sentences has been borrowed and introduced into an urban complex (Zandieh complex in Shiraz); a complex which has had as its components some built and well defined elements and urban spaces. In the given Structural- Syntactic analysis, the loss, deterioration or fragmentation of these elements and connecting spaces has lead to the absurdity and insignificance of the physical string. This interpretation reveals some of the formal, physical and spatial consequences of undesirable changes and mutations of urban form and fabric during the last century in an Iranian traditional urban complex.

The layout and fabric of a city reflect the influence of beliefs and cultures of their inhabitants. Amongst Iranian ancient cities, the historical city of Yazd, thanks to its intact and less-affected old fabric, is an excellent arena for investigating such impact. According to the historical sources, Zoroastrians lived in nine (out of seventy seven) districts of Yazd in the Qajar era. Since Zoroastrians continue to live in these urban spaces to date, it has been tried in the present research to investigate the extent of influence of Zoroastrian’ s religion on the formation of such spaces. This research, therefore, investigates the architectural elements with religious function in one of the main Zoroastrian districts in Yazd City, and the religious commandments that have influenced the formation of its space. To this end, a relatively well-preserved area i. e. the Dasturā n district, is selected and its religious buildings were identified. The results of fieldworks combined with the findings of historical and religious texts, confirm that the religious spaces had a pivotal role in the formation of the fabric of Zoroastrian city.

The city of Zabol is located in a low plain area in the eastern side of Iran. Distribution of pressure centres and the attributions of district topography are of those sorts that cause the formation of 120-days winds in Sistan. These winds originating from the mountains of eastern Afghanistan, circulating the Iran plateau from northwest and then enter the Sistan plain. The winds are called "120-days winds". Increase in their speed, will increase their climatological effects and then two different kinds of climates are formed in Zabol. In the years that the level of rainfall is high, current of 120-days winds carries the humidity and makes the air wet and delicate. In dry years when Hamoon lake is empty, the current of 120-days winds wipes the floor of the empty lake and carries the tiny particles of sand away, and pollutes the environment. In present study, the relations of characteristics of physical shape of the Zabul city as well as the major wind directions are surveyed. The results show that the streets which their directions are parallel with those of winds, chanellization effects of streets increase the speed of the winds and then cause undesirable effects. When the directions of streets are vertical to those of winds, circulation of air will happen. Then it will cause the accumulation of sand which results in environmental pollution. In this study some suggessions are made to decrease the negative effects of winds by changing the physical shape of the city.

Discourse Analysis of a Modern city:Representation of shanty town and the advent physical textureGiven post structuralism and Michel Foucault school of thoughts, the present study aims to overview the emergence of modern city in Ahvaz, genealogically. Foucault argues that “we must conceive discourse as a violence that we do to things, or, at all events, as a practice we impose upon them”. It can be declared that city, as a spatial-social reality, is the product of particular discourses. We conceive and interpret the objects (places) only through discursive relations, to the degree that the identity of a certain person or a certain place is established through power-knowledge relations, linguistic signs, otherness, antagonism, exclusion, etc. The result indicates that the essence of Iranian modern city has come to existence through special discourse. And the identity of city has been on the presence of the "others". Initially, the story and process of "becoming" a modern city in Iran has taken its physical frame based on centralization. On the contrary, the "others" has condemned and represented itself in various labels such as shanty town. Therefore, the identical basis of current cities in Iran is taken into account as an inevitable and absolute fact.

پژوهشِ حاضر از منظرِ روش شناسی کیفی به بررسی تفاوت‎های موجود در نوعِ موسیقی مصرفی جوانان شهر تهران و تفسیر ایشان از آن می‎پردازد. جهتِ فهمِ جامعه شناسانۀ تفاوت‎های مصرفِ موسیقی جوانان این موضوع از رهگذرِ سرمایۀ فرهنگی_ که عاملانِ اجتماعی با توجه به جایگاه اجتماعی شان آن را کسب کرده‎اند،_ مورد بررسی قرار گرفت. با توجه به داده‎های متنی پژوهش، پژوهشگران از میان روش های کیفی روشِ تحلیلِ محتوای کیفی را انتخاب کرده‎اند. داده های پژوهش از طریقِ مصاحبۀ نیمه ساخت یافته با مشارکت کنندگانِ پژوهش گردآوری شده است. با توجه به اهدافِ پژوهش جریانِ انتخاب مشارکت کنندگان بر مبنای نمونه گیری هدفمند صورت یافته است. پژوهشِ حاضر تفاوت‎هایی که میان کنشگرانِ جوانِ با سرمایۀ فرهنگی متفاوت در حوزۀ مصرفِ موسیقی و تفسیر آن وجود دارد را در قالبِ مفاهیم و مقولاتی نشان داده است. این مفاهیم و مقولات عبارت‎اند از: 1. ذائقۀ تربیت شده و ذائقۀ حسی 2. هارمونی و شوریدگی 3. رهنمون‎های مذهبی: مواجۀ نقدآمیز و مواجۀ طردآمیز 4. شنیدن ناشنیدنی ها و دیدن نادیدنی ها و 5- بخشی از ما. نتایج پژوهشِ حاضر نشان می‎دهد، مادامی که کنشگرانِ اجتماعی در سطحِ بالایی از سرمایۀ فرهنگی قرار دارند، در زمینۀ مصرفِ موسیقی به سمت نوعی فرهنگ گرایی رغبت و گرایش دارند. اما در نقطۀ مقابل کسانی که سرمایۀ فرهنگی به میزان اندکی در اختیار دارند به طبیعت نزدیکتر هستند. به عبارتی، ایشان قادر نیستند خود را وارد کدهایی کنند که با آن بتوانند موسیقی هایی نظیر سنتی، کلاسیک غربی یا موسیقی باروک را بازشناسی کنند. بنابراین از دو مفهومِ محوری فرهنگ‎گرایی و طبیعت‎گرایی جهت صورت‎بندی کردند،‎توان استفاده کرد.
