Abstract
Creating the grounds for place attachment in residential areas and strengthening the affective components while meeting the daily needs of people can also be responsive to their needs at higher levels. Given the social importance of residential spaces, the need for paying attention to place attachment and identifying the factors that strengthen this phenomenon would be prioritized. The present study aims to investigate the factors affecting the promotion of place attachment in three scales of the home, neighborhood, and city among the inhabitants of Sanandaj City. The study is of applied type in terms of purpose and it is descriptive-analytical in terms of research methodology. The statistical population of this study is 321 residents of the four selected textures of Sanandaj City. Place attachment and its different dimensions are considered as dependent variables, and the factors of attachment to place and the scale of place are considered as independent variables. To make a comparison between the areas of the research at the three mentioned levels, the post-experimental Tukey test was used. The structural equation modeling was also used to evaluate the effect of physical, social, and individual factors on place attachment and to examine the different levels of place attachment from the cognitive, emotional and behavioral dimensions. Results show that among the variables of psychological dimension, the emotional, cognitive, and behavioral elements of place attachment, the physical and social factors, and the independent variables of individual characteristics have a significant relationship with the dependent variables of place attachment. Examining the results and comparing the attachment factors between the four areas shows that the marginal texture neighborhood (Naysar neighborhood) with the least amount of attachment to the neighborhood, among the dimensions of attachment, emotional dimension and among attachment factors, physical factor has a more effective role on neighborhood attachment. Thus, it is necessary to pay special attention to these factors in future plans to increase the residents' attachment to the neighborhood and prevent the migration of residents to places out of the neighborhood and avoid its subsequent consequences accordingly.
