Preserving intangible cultural heritage in historic urban spaces requires a nuanced understanding of culture, practices, and meanings, as well as active community engagement. This study examines the impact of designing cultural narratives on public participation in safeguarding intangible heritage within the buffer zone of the Tabriz Historic Bazaar Complex (Pasazh Alley). Using an integrated mixed-methods design, ethnographic self-documentation, field observation, and semi-structured interviews with residents and shopkeepers produced lived-experience data coded into 28 core items. A questionnaire based on these items was distributed to 50 users and 16 experts. Analyses included exploratory factor analysis, reliability testing, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression. Results show significant relationships between cultural components (material, behavioral, spiritual) and place attachment. Designed cultural narratives were evaluated and ranked using the TOPSIS multi-criteria decision method. Findings suggest narrative design grounded in stakeholders’ lived experience functions as a practical tool to convey intangible values, strengthen place attachment, and promote active community participation in heritage protection.
