The basis of interaction in urban vitality is the communicating language, which is the symbolic function expressing the processes of interaction understood through the experiences of different groups with the context of their actions. Therefore, the individual’s acquisition of knowledge for any group in the symbolic system is the base of the ability for urban interaction. The castle of Kirkuk city is a vital metaphorical example and has passed through many different civilizations. Thus, this has caused a problem represented by the lack of a clear impact vision of archaeological sites on the privacy of Kirkuk city. For instance, symbols and meanings that reflect the civilizational idea borrowed and reflected by the language play an essential role in imparting specific purposes to external topics in which it is the means of self and spatial social interaction in getting to know the world. To accomplish this, the relationship between symbols and meanings strengthens in this paper. As a result, the spatial and social interaction found in this study and achieved 87%, 88%, and 90% can represent indicators of civilization in Kirkuk Castle.
