The house and the way of life in it is a category of culture and the house is the most objective aspect of culture. The way of life of Iranians and their houses was formed in a cultural continuity throughout history. With the emergence of modernization in the Iranian society, fundamental changes occurred in the culture and consequently in the architecture and houses and the way of life of the Iranians. This research seeks to find out what principles and dimensions the continuation of the tradition of life with a cultural approach includes and whether the continuation of the tradition of life with a cultural approach has been going on in the residential spaces of Tabriz in three decades or not? In order to answer these questions, first, the continuity and the conditions of continuity were examined and along with that, the indicators of culture and tradition of life were also extracted. Then, by designing the question based on the summary matrix of the theoretical part, interviews were conducted with people living in 12 houses from three different decades of the 70s, 80s and 90s, in order to determine whether in these houses continue the tradition of life or not. The findings of the research in the theoretical part indicate that the tradition of life has three dimensions, physical-spatial, perceptual-psychological and activity-behavioral-functional, and in three scales, individual (smart), family-kinship (meso) and Social-neighborhood (macro) can be defined. The findings of the research in the field section show that in the physical-spatial dimension, in areas such as the filter status of the private sphere, the quality of the bedrooms, the view and lighting of the home spaces, continuity can be seen during three decades. In the perceptual-psychological dimension, audio and visual privacy in three scales of micro, medium and macro has been continuous during three decades, but in some factors, such as observing the visual privacy of the open kitchen, it has remained static and unchanged. In the activity-behavioral functional dimension, the examination of the spaces shows that all the spaces in the Iranian house are multi-functional and different behavioral positions can be seen in each space and each scale in every three decades. Or, there have been changes in neighborly relations in three decades, which indicate the loss of neighborly relations in Iranian society and in the city of Tabriz.
