The paper begins by highlighting historical development in the different periods such as Atabakan, Safaviyeh, Zandiyeh, Qajar and Contemporary period; and then,it investigates types of heritage in Shiraz, and, the impacts of modernization trends on the historic urban area of the city.
While It now consists of historic urban areas, vernacular heritage, cultural landscapes (tangible heritage, which include natural and cultural sites), and even living dimensions of heritage and all aspects of the physical and spiritual relationship between human societies and their environment (intangible heritage) (Tweed and Sutherland, 2007; Unesco, 1972).
MATERIALS AND METHODS Study area is the historical city of Shiraz, according to purposes of this research; we used a combination of qualitative and quantitative research methods, to analyze the patterns and trends of heritage conservation on urban spirit framework.
In fact, if there were devastating flood in 1658, Afghan’s / Fig. 1: Urban structure of Shiraz up to Atabakan period (Source:Bazrgar,2003) invasion in 1713, and some destruction of cultural heritage by the other dynasties, there would be the precious treasures of monuments and architectural relics in Shiraz.
Although the first master plan of Shiraz (1966-1972) tried to carry out a balance between new developments and old area in the urban spatial structure but it never met the aim and conflict also arose between them (Fig. 4) (Consulting Engineers Company, 2005).
The main urban conservation challenge in Shiraz now is how to safeguardits built heritage, retain its traditional communities and business with contribution of dwellers and, at the same time, meet development needs (Bazrgar, 2003).
