  Introduction and Purpose: The center of historical and ancient neighborhoods has specific identity and physical characteristics. But, due to the development of the cities and increase in population and changes in the urban context, numerous traffic problems and congestion and noise, and environmental pollution have been created. This study investigates the extent of people's social connections in the historical context and center of urban neighborhoods. In this regard, the theoretical foundation of Travis Hirsch has been considered as the framework of the research, and the extent of social connections of individuals in Ardebil neighborhood center and its relationship with people's residence have also been studied. Method: To measure social connections in neighborhoods, the researcher-made questionnaire technique for 398 residents of historical neighborhoods and new settlements, and components such as neighborhood attachment, neighborhood commitment, neighborhood social participation, and belief in neighborhood values were used. In the analysis, using Pearson's correlation method, the relationship between components and its impact on the level of consensus of individuals in neighborhoods were studied and using multivariate analysis of variance, neighborhoods were compared. Findings: Results showed that there was a significant relationship between attachment components, social interactions, commitment to neighborhood values and beliefs; and the attachment component has a higher impact on the amount of social bonds people have with urban spaces, especially neighborhood centers than other neighborhoods. In comparing the relationship, there were significant relationships among the location and the attachment components and commitment and social interactions; and belief component had no significant relationship with the individuals' residence. Given that there was a high degree of satisfaction with the new settlements compared to the historical context, it is necessary to pay more attention to historical contexts.   Manuscript profile
