When we use UD as 'urban(e) design', the concept of UD is mainly concerned with 'urban(e) design thinking' and the question of what are the main object of UD? is no more point of argument. The starting point of defining 'urban(e) design' is to make argument based on the concept of 'city' or 'urban(e)'. In this point, the concept of continuity of urban culture and heterogenic variety, as internal characteristics of urbanism, are the basis of argument. On the basis of continuity, in which the concept of urban culture as process and context are the point of defining 'urban(e)', 'context design' and 'process design' principles are derived as main-basic characteristics of UD. From the point of variety, in which the concept of publicism is the main ideology, the ideology of 'public' and 'social justice' idea and their interrelated value of equality, openness, equity, publicity are constituting the basis of argument of defining 'urban(e)'. From the concept of publicism, UD can be defined as three perspectives; the first is 'public environment design' principle which makes the basis of judgement of decision making related with the nature of physical appearance, the second is 'participatory and conferential design' principle which is related with the main actors, their roles and the process of decision making, the third is 'normative control guide design' principle which is the basis of certificating objective reasonability of the forms and contents of UD products.
