The main objective of this study is to identify the physical-functional structure and the issues and problems of the old texture of Khorramabad city. The results of the research show that the absence of suitable executive plans, lack of urban unit management, issues and legal problems related to property ownership, economic and cultural poverty, old and weary buildings and their lack of renovation, and ... are among the main problems of this texture. In this paper, we have studied physical-spatial and functional problems of the central part of Khorramabad using secondary, descriptive and analytical research methods along with field study.
