چکیده:
Urban areas are significant elements in the structure of cities which can increase social interactions, identity and meaningfulness, formation of mental pictures and formation of the sense of collective memory. Urbanareas show integrated structure of spatial organization of a city in which not only the connection of formand practice are to be considered, but also the meaning will find its place in whole complicated system ofa city. Since forming the sense of collective memory has always been among the most basic qualitativeprinciples and concepts in urban areas, finding a new approach to which can carefully explore the formativelayers of urban areas is a priority. These layers are helpful in finding useful solutions for memorability ofspaces and qualitative promotion of them.
Rollan Burt believes before any comment about the city, the technique of symbols should be utilized. Withthis new approach it seems it is possible to explore urban spaces and also to reach new solutions in thedirection of the meaningfulness of a space and increasing the sense of collective memory. In this regardthe objective of this research is to explore the concept of collective memory and its retrieval in urban areaswith semiotic approach. Therefore the present research wants to discover the effective components onformation of the sense of collective memory on one hand and represent the conceptual template of semioticon the other hand which is concealed in urban areas regarding the retrieval of memorability of urban spaces.Research is exploratory-explanatory and in the process of its decision making, an analytic comparison isused. Analysis of content and deductive reasoning is the main method to create the mental grounds of theresearch. Results express that the amount of memorability of Hasan-Abad square as an urban space basedon the conceptual template presented in recent years and because of recent decisions of urban management
has faded out. To retrieve the memorability, operational indexes of suggested semiotic templates in theframe of perceptual and social codes can revive the memorability of this square.

Exploring Concept of Collective Memory and its Retrieval in Urban Areas with Semiotic Approach (Case study: Hasan-Abad square)* Nasim Hasani mianroudi** Hamid Majedi*** Zahrasadat Saeede Zarabadi**** Yousefali Ziari***** Abstract Urban areas are significant elements in the structure of cities which can increase social interactions, identity and meaningfulness, formation of mental pictures and formation of the sense of collective memory.
Therefore the present research wants to discover the effective components on formation of the sense of collective memory on one hand and represent the conceptual template of semiotic on the other hand which is concealed in urban areas regarding the retrieval of memorability of urban spaces.
The present article is based on the doctoral dissertation of Nasim HasniMianroudi entitled «Exploring concept of collective memory and its retrieval in urban areas with semiotic approach (Case study: Hasan-Abad square)" under supervision of Dr. Hamid Majedi and Dr. Zahrasadat Saeidehzarabadi, and with the consultancy of Dr. Yousef Ali Ziyari at the Islamic Azad University, Tehran North Branch, Is presented.
" According to this hypothesis, social signs, through the formation of social events, semantic signs through the formation of identity and sense of belonging and perceptual codes through the formation of the mental images of citizens create- a sense of collective memory in urban spaces.
The results of the study show that the perceptual, mental, and social components of the sense of collective memory in the urban space of Hassanabad Square are at the satisfactory level.
