The architecture of old buildings in Iran has always benefited from proportions. But in contemporary architecture, proportions and relationships of numbers are not paid attention to, and the use of proportions is proposed as a reproducible principle to achieve less beauty. Serras has been one of the main members of the Bazzars since the past until now, which has proportions suitable for its use. Serras usually have three main spaces: courtyard, cell and entrance. In general, it can be said that the buildings of the old Bazzars were formed by the placement of commercial units or cells around the yard. The spaces of Serras have different proportions according to the type of use. The historical market of Isfahan has many important houses that are still active. The aim of the current research is to study and investigate the proportions of the main spaces of Serra bazaar in Isfahan to find out what coordination or meaningful levels the architect or builder has observed in terms of the relationship between the proportions and the use of the spaces? The research method in this research is interpretive-historical and by choosing ten Sarai historical Bazzars of Isfahan; The sizes of the three main spaces of the courtyard, the room and the entrance have been analyzed and investigated by examining library documents and field studies through direct presence in the building and surveying the dimensions of the spaces based on Iranian golden ratio. The bazaar Serras of Isfahan were noticed due to the fact that Iranian Islamic architecture reaches its peak of prosperity in the Safavid and even early Qajar periods, and Isfahan is the capital of these displays, and paying attention to proportions has an undeniable importance and value. The results show that the dimensions of the courtyard and the entrance of the Serras follow the proportions of √2 and 1.118, and the use has played a significant role in determining the proportions and dimensions of the Serras, especially the merchant's chambers and the main courtyard.
