AB As multifunctional urban complexes, Bazaars were gradually formed to meet the demands of their developers and users. In fact, a Bazaar was a place to centralize the inter-related interests of different groups of stakeholders. A number of these Bazaars including Tabriz historical Bazaar Complex (THBC) located in Tabriz city in the north west of Iran played a momentous role in the economic and social development of the region as the hubs of international commercial and cultural exchanges. Being a commercial and social ensemble and being able to cope with and contribute to the changing world, Tabriz Historical Bazaar has served a diversity of functions to different stakeholders throughout the history. Although after being affected by the intensive political, social and economic change in the industrialization and modernization era the Bazaar continued serving its functions to different generations, its contribution to the economic and mainly social development has experienced a remarkable decrease.  In order to sustain the prospective contribution of Tabriz Historical Bazaar world heritage site to the life of the contemporary society and facilitate its protection process, this work aims to provide a profound understanding of the authentic characters of the Bazaar, the root and nature of its values, and interests of people involved with it.
