In this study, the concept of sense of place is discussed through the factors which shape it and the role that IT plays in these factors is investigated. This study is an analytical-descriptive study which reviews different views on the subject and the result has been achieved through content analysis. The impacts of this technology can be observed in the physical and spatial changes of cities. These changes lead to the evolution of public perception to the environment and also change the senses of place.
