The sense of place manifests a person's sense of space with which he has established emotional relationships and feels alive with attachment and dependence from being in it. This research method is based on a combination (qualitative and quantitative) based on interpretative and statistical methods. The data collection method is library-field (interview, observation, and questionnaire). The studied community includes the users of public spaces in central Zanjan city, which was studied in a sample of 380 subjects. The research indicators include four main components as place identity, place attachment, place dependence, and social connection. Data analysis is based on inductive and quantitative interpretation based on multivariate regression according to the structure of path analysis and a posteriori model. The results show that the public spaces with different functions in the central context of Zanjan city function differently despite the tendency towards desirability. The sense of belonging to a place is formed in two aspects as the sense of the main place and the sense of the surrounding place, the intensity of which decreases according to the social stratification from the center to the periphery, but it does not reach destruction. Multivariate regression at the confidence level of 95% with 96% effectiveness explains the path of indicators of the sense of place belonging, and the posterior model shows the significant difference of the variables of sense of place belonging in different functions of the space with an acceptable level of significance. The findings state that the structure of activity and the sense of place are different according to the type of function of the space. Therefore, places in spaces with similar functions have the same sense of belonging with a minimal significant difference. Thus, the diversity of the functions of the space affects the sense of local belonging, and it becomes stronger and weaker according to the functional type of the space
