Place-identity as one of the main constructs in environmental psychology has a very important role in the cognitive relationship between man and his place of residence, and also enhancing mental health and improving his quality of life. But the lack of agreement of experts defining the structure of the concept, and its dimensions has prevented it from a comprehensive understanding. Therefore, achieving the dimensions and factors affecting the formation of place-identity in residential neighborhoods from the perspective of architectural and urban professionals emphasizing on psychological aspects of the concept can be a step towards advancing place-identity research in the field of architecture and urbanism. The aim of this study was to identify the factors affecting the formation of spatial identity in residential neighborhoods and to achieve a model of the relationship between these factors. The study is a kind of the basic research with exploratory nature in terms of goal, and in terms of data collection method, it is placed in the descriptive research category. The research method is a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods which has done in four sections; 1- document research including reviewing the literature of the subject, 2- Delphi and making measurement tool including interviews with experts, open and axial coding, preparing the objective-content table and the research- making questionaire based on it, Delphi survey in two stages and Factor Q analysis, 3- Data collection based on survey and case study and 4- Correlation based on R factor analysis, modeling and path analysis using SPSS-26 and Amos softwares. The statistical population of the study was 25 people in Delphi and 370 residents of Sepah neighborhood of Qazvin in the case study section who were selected by cluster random method. The results from Q factor analysis show the dimensions of the place-identity in residential neighborhoods as are follows: "physical-structural", "psychological", "social-cultural", "functional-activity", "aesthetics", "environmental", "historical" and finally "semantic". The results of factor R analysis show that place- identity criteria include "cultural and economic distinctivemess", "social security", "visual pleasure", "spatial cognition", "efficacy", "social self-esteem", "collective service centers", "change and intervention", "place knowledge", "deterioration", "historical personality", "continuity of presence in space", "personalization capabilities of space" and "territory". According to the results of this study, paying attention to historical monuments of Sepah neighborhood and managing structural interventions and new constructions can act as the most important factors in improving the place-identity of residents. Lack of personalization capabilities of space, expansion of deterioration and abandonment of residential texture and removing collective memory from the neighborhood are the most important factors in reducing the place-identity of residents. Therefore, any architectural and urban actions in Sepah neighborhood, if it demands the survival of residence and the preservation of the individual-place identity, will be possible in line with the above principles at the same time.
