The historical street structure of Kashan exhibits a complex and organic spatial order that evolved gradually through adaptation to its ecological substrate. Concurrently, internal urban structures are significantly influenced by intercity, regional, and international communication routes. This study investigates the extent to which Kashan’s historical morphology was shaped in response to its natural environment versus the influence of Iran's strategic commercial corridors. The research aims to comparatively assess the role of ecological substrate features and communication corridors in organizing the historical street system of Kashan. The study area encompasses the historical district within the defensive walls, including the Posht-e Mashhad* neighborhoods. Utilizing a historical-interpretive methodology, the research relies on field observations, aerial photography, historical cartography, and archaeological data. The evolution of primary urban cores was analyzed in relation to natural site characteristics and Kashan's position relative to major commercial routes. The findings indicate that the development of urban cores and the historical street structure were primarily dictated by the natural topography (slope) and the southwest-to-northeast direction of subterranean water flow—extending from the foothills toward the arid lowlands. The city's strategic location along major communication routes served as a secondary, yet significant, factor in its spatial organization.
