In this regard, the qualitative analysis has been selected in order to analyzedifferent levels of life manifestation in space by studying theorists’ visions on the subject of life, which providethe basis for shaping the lived space. Then, observation-gathering method has been used in order to identifyvarious aspects of life-giving cultural events, by selecting number of life-giving cultural events of Tehran asaccessible population sampling. The results show that these events involve different levels of life—structural,functional, semantic-conceptual, and livable life—in a form of a system. In addition, the results indicate certainfactors in defining this category of events including: “features,” “capabilities,” and “providing the possibilities”which create the basis for reproducing life-giving events under similar conditions.
