Abstract

Nowadays the principles and criteria for place attachment in neighborhoods and their relevance to cultural, historical, social, and natural contexts are ignored, and this causes many problems. The purpose of this study is to enhance place attachment in historical neighborhoods (sorkhab and davehchi) of tabriz through contextualism descriptive-analytic methods using questionnaires and spss tests by random sampling. The statistical population of the study is inhabitants of sorkhab and davehchi neighborhoods with 300 statistical samples (150 from each neighborhood). The results show that there is a linear relationship between contextualism components (except natural context) and place attachment is visible. In terms of impact, the historical component has the greatest impact on place attachment. Therefore, to enhance the place attachment in the historical neighborhoods, it is necessary for urban designers and planners to pay more attention to the historical dimension of contextualism.
