The spaces have to respond to qualitative needs as well as qualitative needs of people generating authentic and unique characteristics. Most of the cities lost their identity and legibility as a result of rapid development and their consequential destructions. This is directly affected to create socially unresponsive urban space in all over the city. Open spaces are necessary constituent of a positive image and responsiveness to the city. But that is also in a threat of lost space in an urban situation as an urban space.

Thus the study focused on positive transformation of open space in heart of city, as a responsive urban space in a city.
