Space’s influencing human physiology perceptibly and human psychology discretely shapes identity progress in the multidimensional structure of human. This influence reflects on literary works’ author’s, who deals life and human, subjective and aesthetically outs in the objective reality. Space is in a form which cultural codes are sent to human’s individual and societal memory. In addition, space is an area identity which individual and collective memory is kept and conserved. Spaces where human finds his essence and identity turn into an identity-function dimension from the point of reminding individual historical background. These habitats named as identity memory places prevent national conscience and collective identity being tried to be created in a historical process from being deformed by standing the test of time. Literary work/novel keeping society’s instant and historical structure alive provides national identity to be built by giving place to memory spaces reminding identity in its fictions.
