Abstract

Place is a manifestation of subjective and social thinking, symbol of life and is a source of symbolic memories; it also is a part of our imaginations and attachments, though at present human and identical dimension of cities and places may be undermined. Place as a collection, helps to develop a process in which people’ sense of place and attachment and identity all are developed and maintained. These days, the loss of identity and lack of connectivity of human life spaces with historical and cultural contexts has been turned into one the main pre-occupations of current architectures and urban planners. Modern neighbors only cause to create non-places in lack of sufficient facilities for specification of human identities. This is while, a place is accounted as a litter for being situated and a part of human existence while is considered as a main identity source. So, it is essential to analyze the way of perception of local identity by people and the bilateral relationship of person and the place. In this paper, with the aim of assessing of the way of local identity perception in historic neighbors, we have tried to review theorists’ views on the basis of related documents. Examining different effective factors in that, model and the process of forming local identity were been specified. Finally, using SPSS 19, we examined mentioned model in Dodangeh neighbor in Borujerd. Results highlighted the importance of the staying time as well activity and memorability in creating local identity in historical neighbors.
