Abstract

This article aims to build a measurement construct for “NEIGHBORHOOD IDENTITY” and calculate its validity and reliability through factor analysis. Studying factors that affect how a person identifies with his/her place of residence can be effective in solving the problem of identity crisis that is a major problem of contemporary society. A person living in a neighborhood in today’s mega-cities does not really relate to his/her neighborhood, and in his/her view, it is just another part of the city and has no special characteristics that sets it apart, therefore, the city dweller almost always has a sense of alienation and estrangement from his/her neighborhood. The aim of the present study is to identify those factors that are important in shaping NEIGHBORHOOD IDENTITY in big cities. The research method used in this study is survey and the instrument of data collection is questionnaire. 260 individuals above the age of 20 residing in Abasabad and Mardavij neighborhoods in the city of Isfahan were compared. Systematic random sampling was used to select sample members. Factor analysis was utilized to measure latent variables and to test their goodness of fit. Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient for “feelings of Safety” was 0.79; for “sense of belonging” was 0.80; and for “social interaction” was 0.76. An analysis of major components showed that the “NEIGHBORHOOD IDENTITY” questionnaire was comprised of three items, namely that of “feelings of Safety”; “sense of belonging”; and “social interaction”. Therefore, it can be concluded that the construct of “NEIGHBORHOOD IDENTITY” is a valid measurement of that concept.
