Abstract : Fahadan Square is one of the historical squares of Yazd. A look at the research related to this square shows that no research based on historical-cultural function has been conducted so far that can determine the status and value of the square. The primary role of this site in the past as a local communication route and, at one point in time, as a local cemetery has caused ambiguity about its historical status. In addition, the existence of historical elements around the square, such as the Tomb of the Twelve Imams, the Zia'iyyah School (Iskander Prison), and the Fahadan Husseiniyeh, has been a testament to its historical and cultural richness for centuries.
This research seeks to answer the question: What historical and cultural characteristics can be identified from the reinterpretation of Fahadan Square in Yazd? This article attempts to examine the historical role of Fahadan Square from the perspective of its residents and people, using the grounded theory research method. The tools of this qualitative method are library study, field research, and especially the interview method. Accordingly, in a process, data extracted from research results in concepts, then in categories, and finally in theory.
The results of data analysis show that, based on the grounded theory method, the characteristic of remembrance as a fundamental role in the Fahadan square has a relatively high validity. Also, the square has played an effective role as a key node in providing spiritual identity and religious beliefs from the perspective of the local people. Therefore, it seems that these two selected codes have strengthened the social and cultural life of residents in the historical context of Yazd city in the past decades.
