In river-based cities, urban spaces like bazaars often transcend their physical and economic roles, becoming meaningful places shaped by their natural surroundings and users’ lived experiences. However, the specific mechanisms through which rivers influence the spatial, functional, and semantic dimensions of bazaars—and their subsequent impact on social and cultural structure remain underexplored. This study aims to analyze the place-based characteristics of the bazaars in Dezful and Shush, situated along the Dez and Shavur rivers, by examining how their interaction with these waterways has contributed to their socio-cultural and spatial identity. Using a descriptive-analytical approach, the study integrates field observations, historical documentation, and geographical data to identify the spatial, functional, and semantic factors of the bazaars. The analysis focuses on their relationship with rivers and their role in shaping social vitality and cultural meaning. The findings reveal that in Dezful, the bazaar’s historical and vernacular architecture has fostered a dynamic space with economic, social, and cultural functions, deeply tied to the Dez River. In Shush, the bazaar’s proximity to the Shavur River and the shrine of Daniel the Prophet has imbued it with a religious-commercial identity, elevating its role beyond mere commerce. In both cases, rivers serve as active agents in meaning-making, spatial experience, and identity formation. The study underscores the importance of recognizing bazaars as “places” socially vibrant and culturally significant spaces that, through their riverine context, strengthen the connection between people and their urban environment.
