Abstract

Revitalization of the historical urban quarters are debated as a main issue on related commissions in recent years and different theories has been proposed on the past experiences. But in fact historical urban quarters faced many problems such as: Lack of knowledge in the process of forming and accurate information during decades, proper analysis of the relationship between the effects of different factors, lack of accurate intervention and the process obsolescence. So these conditions can be the main reasons for the failure of many the urban restoration plans. In this case, the first most important step is to comprehend the related variables and their mechanism on each other in order to shape it. In this study, an analysis of the impact of urban transportation technology to form tissues and historical activities with an emphasis on walking ability is covered. So emphasis on the development of implementation-oriented activities will be discussed in order to increase walkability in the historical urban quarter. The main research question is that how the tissue characteristics in general and in particular of the historical context form are subject to transportation change? The research method in this study, based on theoretical studies and reviews examples of successful global promotion of walking in the historical tissues to analyze the historical context of Tehran's region 12. The results indicate that increasing density, fine grain, mixed-use retail, pedestrian design details and reducing lane width help to reinforce the walking trails in the historical context.
