Abstract
Recently, the Issue of absent Identity in our contemporary Urbanization has occupied great importance particularly in the fields of architecture and urban design, since urbanization outcome of the contemporary cities lacks characteristics that provide it with its unique urban identity or place identity, that emerges from the natural, built and cultural characteristics of the local community. Urbanization being a reflection for the local community characteristics is the correlation and belonging function between the community and the city and thus be the place, elsewhere, separation and alienation occur between the community and the city and thus be Placelessness, which necessitates the work in this research to reach an integrative design approach in the field of urban design that supports giving the urbanization outcome unique place identity, since urban design carries the first and last responsibility of place making process. The research aims at determining the concept of place identity and its basic elements, in addition to the concept of urban design, the dimensions of urban design process and its role in construction of place identity, to reach an integrated approach in urban design that ensures the emerge of an urban product characterized by belonging to the environment where it is constructed and also respects the community spatial characteristics and its cultural attitudes supporting the future of place identity. This study reached the effectiveness of the urban design in forming the urban identity for the city and giving it distinguishing , uniqueness and civilized continuity or giving it nonidentity , disappearance and death , frequently the study managed to formation an overall approach for the urban design process which confirms the duality of the inputs of the concrete ( the built features and natural features of the environment) abstract ( social cultural features of the environment) to reflex dual outputs concrete ( urban environment belonging to its built natural context) abstract ( urban environment belonging to its social cultural context – meets the needs and hopes its society sooner or later ) it is what supports structure of the place identity and its civilized continuity at light of its ability to keep up the technological scientific development sooner or later.
