Investigating the Situation of Residential Relocation and its Associated Factors in Tehran

The purpose of this study is to investigate the movement  situation and forms of relocation in the neighborhoods and districts of Tehran and associated factors. The statistical population comprises of citizens over 18 years of age in the city of Tehran, whose information was collected in 2016. The sample size also included 45,000 people from among 334 neighborhoods located in 22 districts of Tehran. The results of this study show that the movements between the regions and then the movements within the region and within the neighborhood have been  the most important types of movements in the city of Tehran. Overall, 83% of the sample experienced one type of intra-city relocation (intra-neighborhood relocation, inter-neighborhood relocation, inter-district relocation), and it seems that  relocation between districts in Tehran is more common. The analytical results also showed that the variables of age, length of stay, housing status, number of relatives in a neighborhood and number of children affect the probability of residential moving within the neighborhood and also the variables of length of stay, age and number of relatives affect the probability of moving between neighborhoods.
