Abstract :
The purpose of the research: The main goal is to evaluate the role of spatial planning in strengthening the urban identity and it is followed by examining the relationship between the most important criteria of spatial planning as an independent variable and urban identity as a dependent variable.Research methodology: The current research has a descriptive-analytical method. First, 76 components were identified through content analysis, and then a questionnaire of experts was prepared using the Delphi method and went back and forth in three rounds. Finally, 21 components were left, which were used to prepare a questionnaire for citizens in historical and new neighborhoods. The evaluation of these components was distributed to 364 people in historical neighborhoods and 351 people in new neighborhoods with a questionnaire attached to five-point Likert scales. Data analysis was done using multiple regression model in SPSS software.The geographical scope of the research: the neighborhoods of Melkabad, Qazvin, as an example of the historical context, and Mulla Sadra, as an example of the new context, are the geographical scope of this research, which are respectively 23.5 and 51.5 hectares of area and 4156 and 7254 people. have a populationFindings and discussion: Among the identified components, 21 components (criteria) in five managerial, spatial-physical, economic, social-cultural and environmental groups were finally selected as independent variables. The dependent variable was also urban identity. For the research components, 21, 12, 16, 15 and 12 substandards were identified respectively. It was found that there is a direct relationship between the independent and dependent variables of the research. Also, in the new context, the relationship between physical planning and the sense of local identity and the relationship between socio-cultural planning and the sense of local identity is stronger than in the old context.Results: In the historical context, there are problems such as not paying attention to the physical, economic, and socio-cultural dimensions that play an essential role in urban identity. Spatial planning in the new neighborhoods, which was planned in advance, has not been able to create an urban identity, and the residents are facing social, identity and cultural problems. In order to improve the status of the identity of Qazvin neighborhoods, it is necessary to pay attention to the proposed solutions and proposals with the will of city managers and the participation of citizens.
