Abstract: Let $A$ be a Banach algebra with a non-empty character space. We say that a bounded net $e_{alpha}$ in $A$ is a bounded $Delta$-weak approximate identity for $A$ if, for each $ainA$ and compact subset $K$ of $Delta(A)$, $||widehat{e}_{alpha}a-widehata|{|}_K=su{p}_{phiinK}|phi(e_{alpha}a)-phi(a)|ightarrow0$. For each $1<p<infty$, we prove that the Figa-Talamanca Herz algebra, $A_p(G)$ has a bounded $Delta$-weak approximate identity if and only if $G$ is an amenable group. Also we give a sufficient condition for amenability of group $G$.
