According to the objectives of the research and the studied components, the type of applied research and its study method is descriptive-analytical. The statistical population is the southern Dizaj neighborhood of Bonab city. Information required to investigate the relationship between socio-cultural regeneration and sustainable development of a neighborhood that includes 4 indicators and 19 indicators of socio-cultural regeneration as an independent variable and 6 indicators of neighborhood development as a dependent variable. The data collection tool is a researcher-made questionnaire. The research sampling method was simple random and the statistical population was 366 people. The results show that the social and cultural components have the greatest effect in promoting the development of the southern Dizaj neighborhood, so that one unit of change in the deviation of social and cultural components are 0.409 and 0.578 units, respectively. They will make a difference in the development of the South Dizge neighborhood.
