Abstract

Introduction: In recent decades, with the development and evolution of technology, new approaches to urban issues have been proposed. One of the important issues that Iranian cities, including the city of Tabriz, face is the social relations of contemporary neighborhoods. Since the weakness of social relations in neighborhoods can cause problems such as diminished sense of place, collective spirit, etc., in order to improve these conditions, create a suitable context and place for neighborhood people to meet and establish social interactions and Their participation in neighborhood-related programs is essential.
Data and Method: In this study we have tried to study the concept of place-making in reviving social relations of urban neighborhoods, Abbasi, Mansour, Mandana, Parvaz And Ferdows should be selected as the study sample. In this article and in the data analysis section, selected urban areas were evaluated based on regression, Spearman, Friedman and ANOVA statistical tests.
Results: Findings indicate that based on the results of statistical studies, physical dimensions, social dimensions, managerial-policy dimensions, perceptual-semantic dimensions and economic dimensions have a significant relationship with explaining the concept of place-making in the revival of social relations from the perspective They are citizens and the physical and social dimension has the greatest impact on explaining the concept of place-making in the revival of social relations in selected urban spaces.
Conclusion: The results of this study, on the one hand, provide the necessary framework for scientific and logical study of the concept of location in urban areas, and on the other hand, provide the basis for future measures to revive social relations in urban areas. Assessing the research model in more urban neighborhoods and other cities of Iran can provide a deeper understanding of the mechanism explaining the concept of location in the revitalization of social relations in urban neighborhoods.
