The historical significance of the Bazaar in Iranian urban systems has been challenged by contemporary architectural and planning practices. This study aims to identify environmental factors influencing the formation of meaning within Iranian Bazaars. Utilizing Giddens' Structuration Theory, a mixed-method approach was employed. Qualitative data was gathered through semi-structured interviews, while quantitative data was collected through a researcher-developed questionnaire. Content analysis of qualitative data informed the questionnaire development. Factor analysis assessed the questionnaire's validity, followed by an analysis of the relationships between "Agency," "Structuration," and "Meaning" in Borujerd and Tehran Bazaars. Spatial analysis utilized an "Axial" space syntax approach. Findings revealed that factors influencing meaning in Iranian Bazaars can be categorized under "Agency" and "Structuration" according to Giddens' theory, demonstrating a significant relationship with "Meaning." The spatial analysis indicated that "Agency" increased with the variable "choice." However, a clear link between spatial syntax and "Meaning" across the Bazaars was not established. Additionally, while "Integration" was higher in axes adjacent to the urban road network, this difference did not affect the sense of "Meaning" in the central axes.
