Explaining the role of identifying elements in the stability of old and new neighborhoods in Regions 3 and 7 of Isfahan

the present study aims to explain the structural model of the impact of urban identity on the sustainability of old and new neighborhoods of Isfahan's 3rd and 7th districts. The method of this research is descriptive-analytical and survey type. It is also considered as a practical research in addition to its purpose.

The results showed that there was a positive and significant relationship between spatial components of identity (human, natural) and old and new neighborhoods stability of district 3 and 7 with a path coefficient of 0.963 and test statistics 290.311 also with an error level of less than 0.05. Based on this, it was investigated that human components with a correlation coefficient of 0.967 have the greatest impact on the sustainability of neighborhoodsof district 3 and 7 of Isfahan.
