Kohneh Square and Historic Jamee mosque complex is structurally and functionally the main and most
important sector of the area.
The most necessary actions that had to be implemented were as follows:
a) Functional revitalization of residential areas at the vicinity of the complex
b) Improvement in social environment
c) Preserving historical and architectural potential values
d) Conducting new spatial configurations by organizing urban functions
e) Regulating the land use system and relocating appropriate functions to non-functional spaces
f) Predicting economic procedures that would not only conduce to economic growth but also employ the
potential advantages of the area in order to achieve the functional goals of the plan
