The theories of exploiting of the genius loci value in urban space organization

Abstract

Urbanization is the inevitable development process of a country in the new era. However, alongside the positive aspects of modern spaces that meet material needs, the challenges of  preserving the urban soul and creating characteristics that attract the attention and experience of the community also arise. This poses a pressing and practical scientific research topic for urban planners for a long time. By exploring the theory of genius loci , scientists have attracted the attention of all social strata. From there, valuable historical architectural heritage spaces, unique cultural activities, and important landmarks of a region have been restored and awakened in the present environment. Although its effectiveness cannot be quantified, it is incredibly powerful. It helps people understand and love the space they live in, respect history and origins. Additionally, study of genius loci helps urban planners establish the identity of beautiful, civilized, and livable cities.
