چکیده
بیان مسئله: فضاهای عمومی شهری به‌عنوان بستر اصلی تعاملات اجتماعی و فرهنگی، نقشی کلیدی در بازنمایی معانی جمعی و شکل‌گیری هویت شهروندان دارند. با وجود این اهمیت، بیشتر پژوهش‌های گذشته تنها بر ابعاد کالبدی یا اجتماعی فضا متمرکز بوده‌اند و فرآیند معناسازی فرهنگی در چارچوبی جامع و نظام‌مند کمتر مورد توجه قرار گرفته است. این خلأ نظری موجب شده است که شناخت ابعاد فرهنگی فضای عمومی پراکنده و غیر یکپارچه باقی بماند.
اهداف: پژوهش حاضر با هدف ارائه و تبیین مدل مفهومی «مدار بازنمایی معنای فضای عمومی از منظر فرهنگی» انجام شده است. این مدل می‌کوشد با اتکا بر رویکرد فرهنگی، ابعاد مختلف فرآیند معناسازی را در قالب ساختاری منسجم توضیح دهد.
روش‌ها: این مطالعه از نوع کیفی و مبتنی بر رویکرد اسنادی است. در گام نخست، منابع علمی معتبر درباره فضای عمومی و ابعاد فرهنگی آن گردآوری و بر اساس معیارهایی چون اصالت و ارتباط موضوعی انتخاب شدند. سپس داده‌ها با روش تحلیل محتوای کیفی بررسی و کدگذاری گردید تا مؤلفه‌ها و شاخص‌های اصلی مرتبط با چرخه فرهنگی استخراج شود.
یافته‌ها: نتایج تحلیل نشان داد که پنج مؤلفه اصلی شامل تولید، مصرف، هویت، دلالت و تنظیم به‌عنوان عناصر مدار بازنمایی معنا قابل شناسایی‌اند. این مؤلفه‌ها در مداری پویا و تعاملی عمل می‌کنند؛ به‌گونه‌ای که تغییر در یک مؤلفه می‌تواند موجب بازتعریف سایر مؤلفه‌ها شود. برای مثال، تصمیمات طراحی در مرحله تولید بر الگوهای مصرف و هویت‌یابی اثرگذارند، و بازنمایی‌های فرهنگی می‌توانند تولیدات بعدی فضا را دگرگون سازند.
نتیجه‌گیری: مدل پیشنهادی ضمن پر کردن خلأ موجود در ادبیات، امکانی برای تحلیل جامع فرآیند معناسازی فرهنگی در فضای عمومی فراهم می‌آورد. این مدل علاوه بر تقویت مبانی نظری، به‌عنوان ابزاری تحلیلی می‌تواند در طراحی، مدیریت و ارزیابی فضاهای عمومی توسط طراحان و برنامه‌ریزان شهری به کار گرفته شود و همچنین قابلیت آزمون‌پذیری در زمینه‌های فرهنگی متنوع را داراست.

چکیده English

Problem statement: Urban public spaces, as the main arenas of social and cultural interaction, play a crucial role in shaping collective identity and representing shared meanings. Despite their significance, most previous studies have primarily focused on physical or social aspects, while the cultural meaning-making process has rarely been explained within an integrated framework. This theoretical gap has left the cultural dimensions of public space fragmented and insufficiently understood.
Aims: The aim of this study is to develop and explain a conceptual model of the “cultural representation circuit of urban public space,” which systematically captures and interprets the cultural processes that shape public space.
Methods: This research adopts a qualitative approach based on documentary study and content analysis. First, reputable academic sources on public space and its cultural aspects were collected and selected using criteria such as authenticity and thematic relevance. Then, the data were analyzed and coded through qualitative content analysis to identify the main components and indicators related to Hall’s cultural circuit.
Findings: The analysis revealed five key components—production, consumption, identity, signification, and regulation—that together form the cultural representation circuit. These components interact dynamically; a change in one can reshape the others. For instance, design decisions during the production phase influence patterns of consumption and identity formation, while cultural representations can affect subsequent cycles of spatial production.
Conclusion: The proposed model addresses the existing theoretical gap by providing an integrated framework for analyzing the cultural meaning-making process in public spaces. Beyond its theoretical contribution, the model can serve as an analytical tool for urban planners, designers, and managers in evaluating and designing public spaces, and it is adaptable for testing across diverse cultural contexts.
