Abstract :
A categorization system is an approach, and at the same time, a general process for generating
groups of ideas, objects, or concepts that all recognize them, while at the same time differentiating one into a
whole. Urban square, as the main and urban space, needs a comprehensive understanding of the categorizing
structure. The routine of urban squares classification approaches, as represented by theorists, has a formal or
content-oriented construction and rarely has both of these dimensions. Only the stated categories do not really
have the comprehensiveness to have a full-fledged methodology, and virtually all the standards that can be
extracted by reverse engineering, for square recognition, lead the audience to some degree of ambiguity and
complexity. The purpose of this research is to explain the new type of view and the criteria for the cognitive
approach of one phenomenon, which can provide a complete categorization, which in this study is called the
phenomenological category of the urban square, which is characterized by Urban Square Comprehensive
Cognition Matrix that capability Applies to.The type of research is analytic-developing, an extension that
is also used to explain the type of product used. With the use of this matrix, one can consider all aspects of
the form and content in the square and in some way inject the meaning into its structure. This matrix, on the
one hand, takes the criteria of cognition and on the other side covers the urban areas and also, if used for
several types of squares, can be used as a means of comparing the quality of urban squares and their ranking.
The matrix is an evolving of the criteria mentioned in the research of urban squares researchers, according
to which the universality of the USCCM matrix can be confirmed. Finally, by patterning this category, the
criteria mentioned in the study for evaluation and analysis of the urban square are also discussed in future
studies.
