Evaluation of the plan to organize the southern City-floodway of Najafabad Based on the relationships between natural and human components of local identity and sense of place

floodways are one of the components of cities that act as natural drainage and protect the city from the risk of destruction by discharging runoff from torrential rains. Today, city managers try to take advantage of this natural capacity and plant trees, install urban furniture, create walking and cycling paths, etc. to create a fun and fresh environment and strengthen the sense of place of citizens to Increase their belonging and attachment to the environment and reduce the pressures of living in an urban environment. But in the meantime, care must always be taken that this double operation does not lead to a change in the basis and structure of the floodway and does not take it out of the initial user circuit. In the southern part of the city of Najafabad, there was a natural floodway that the municipality tried to organize and use more by implementing a plan. The purpose of this study was to investigate and analyze this plan based on the relationship between natural and human components of local identity and sensibility. This applied research has been done using library, field and survey methods and relying on descriptive and inferential statistics obtained from 360 questionnaires in the form of  SPSS20 software. The results show that in the implementation of this plan, more attention has been paid to the human components than the natural components. Since the sense of attachment to place formed in citizens is also more related to the human components, this implicitly indicates a kind of neglect of the natural use of this issue, which can lead to the formation of future risks.
