measuring the effects of the sense of place on the level of social resilience in new towns (case study: mehestan new town)

The sense of place arises from the activities and interactions between people and places, as well as between people themselves, within a particular location. the high level of attachment among the residents of a place, neighborhood, or city emphasizes the significance of that place for individuals, leading to increased participation in civil and political activities, and enhancing citizens’ social interactions. these emotional connections with the place also influence people’s capacity to respond to changes, comprehend risks, and prepare for social resilience challenges. this research seeks to answer the question of the effects of the sense of place on social resilience in mehestan. the research methodology is practical and developmental in its goal, and descriptive analytical in its approach. data has been collected through both library and field studies. the data analysis has employed descriptive statistics (including frequency distribution, mean, standard deviation, and dispersion coefficient) as well as inferential statistics such as structural equation modeling using spss and amos. the statistical population comprises all citizens of the new town, totaling 95,746 people. a sample of 380 individuals was randomly surveyed. the research findings indicate that the state of the spatial sense variable falls within the average range of 2.51 to 3.5. similarly, the variable status of social resilience also falls within the average range of 2.51 to 3.5. hypothesis analysis using amos software reveals that the effect of the sense of place on social resilience in mehestan is significant at the 0.05 error level. furthermore, the positive path coefficient (/276) indicates a direct and positive relationship.
