Abstract: This study analyzes an‎d proposes organizational strategies for the revitalization of the historical axis connecting the Aba-Bafi workshops an‎d Kabir Square in Mohammadieh, Naein. The core problem identified is the loss of place identity an‎d the physical-functional discontinuity between productive units (Aba-Bafi) an‎d the central public space (Kabir Square) resulting from unplanned urban expansion in Naein. The research underscores the necessity of developing a comprehensive intervention strategy that moves beyond mere physical organization to revive active social traditions as the driving force for sustainable development.The methodology is descriptive-analytical an‎d applied, grounded in a Mixed-Method approach. The research process involved three main steps: 1. Establishing a theoretical framework based on active place identity an‎d dynamic organization; 2. Detailed recognition of the current state through documentary review an‎d stakeholder interviews; 3. Damage assessment based on a three-layered framework (physical-spatial, socio-functional, an‎d identity-semantic).Key findings demonstrate that observed deteriorations (such as the conversion of gardens into villas, population density decline, an‎d workshop aban‎donment) stem from the discrepancy between historical function an‎d current physical conditions. The central conclusion is that the organization plan must be treated as a “Social Investment Program,” investing in the revival of the Aba-Bafi tradition an‎d restoring the Square’s role as a center for social interaction. This integrated strategy is the prerequisite for ensuring the continuity of vitality an‎d historical authenticity of the fabric toward sustainable development.
