Abstract
Statement of the problem: The historical market of the city is the place where relations that arise are engraved, have objectivity, and are therefore engraved in space. "Engravement-in-space" is different from the effect created by the objectivity of a spatial action or the relations that arise from it. A spatial action is engraved in space when it flows in a linguistic-spatial galaxy accompanied by the materialism of place. Social capital is not a metaphysical and ahistorical thing that is produced solely from social relations and relationships, but rather it is temporal and spatial, and it is engraved and modified in space.
The aim of the research is to understand the dialectics of social capital and the trialectic of space production through the mechanism of engraving in the market space and the reproduction of spatial identity. The research method is descriptive-analytical, and the measurement of social capital components in the production of the Sanandaj Bazaar space has been carried out quantitatively with statistical tests. The result indicates that within the Sanandaj market, the form of space-social capital compression is in the form of point-growth point-movement-movement-space form. The final form of space here is the Bazaar
The first brick of the Sanandaj bazaar is the first stage of the beginning of the spatial revolution. Suleiman Khan Ardalan, by decree of Shah Safi, provides the authority of this brick. Also, some of quantitative results indicate that in general the amount of social capital varies on the scale of the bazaar, but at the same time its types change.
