Abstract
Bazaar has been one of the main elements of Iranian city and practically its beating heart. Bazaar is not only a place of trade and commodity exchange, but also a space for the emergence of social connections as well as a place for vital collective decision-making in the event of necessity. The transformation in the economic sectors and livelihood on the one hand, and the entry of cars into urban areas on the other, caused the physical collapse of the bazaar and, in some cases, its complete destruction. The bazaar of the city of Kazerun, which has once enjoyed a reputation for hand-made and local industries, has gone through many vicissitudes over time, but continues to survive. This article is an overview of the position of the bazaar of Kazerun from the past to this day.
