Abstract Background and Objective: Urbanization and rapid changes in cities have placed the preservation of the city's historical textures at the center of urban planning. Common concepts that attempt to define old buildings, building groups, and urban areas as separate entities in the urban context are blurred. Therefore, a transformation has occurred in both the concept and structure of the city's historical textures, which is derived from the challenges in this field and consequently, along with these textural landscapes for dealing with a historical territory, such as the urban landscape (HULL). In this regard, the aim of the present study is to investigate the objective and subjective indicators of the historical urban landscape of Kermanshah city with Hull's cultural theory.
Research Methodology: The method of conducting the present study was descriptive-analytical, and its information was collected through library studies and through completing a questionnaire. For data analysis, a one-sample t-test was used in the Spss21 software and the SWARA model was used for weighting and ranking the indicators.
Findings and Results: The results of the questionnaire, which are divided into two general categories of social security and integration indicators, have shown that the component indicating clarity, legibility, and memorability, and the functional-social cohesion index have the highest score and value. The results of the Swara model also indicate that among the qualities, quality, experience in the environment, respectively, have ranked first to third in the level of completely desirable performance, which is indicative of the fact that memories and good experiences have been associated with the environment and the study area in the minds of residents and individuals, which increases the likelihood of people returning and using the social space.

To analyze the information of eight factors as strong influential factors on the creative city, the case of Kermanshah, Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) has been used and then analyzed by Mic Mac software. The results showed that the criteria of efficient transportation system and carbon-free energy system are the most effective and the criteria of strong social structure and safe houses are among the most effective factors and social dimension is the most significant indicator of creative city in Kermanshah.
