Abstract

Purpose : Ethics has captured the attention of many today for a variety of reasons as well as in urban issues, has been applied the phrase "ethical space", including moral experiences of the world around us. How much our urban spaces contribute us to accumulate right experiences following that right knowledge about the world. That means ethical space should motivate us to work towards betterment of ourselves, of society, of the world we live.These comments have attracted geographers, planners and architects around the phenomenology of ethical thoughts instead of the absolute rational ethical ideologies. Indeed,there are not the clear and fix factors on ethical decision makings whereas the ethical factors are changing via time changing; the question has put forward"how do urban spaces have led us to a moral stance?", "do ethics justifications hinge on the time?"And demarcation a question "what the ethical prospect of urban spaces is" (is that religion, politics, personal, law?).
