Provide a model that determines the sense of belonging to a place in the historical context of the port cities of the Persian Gulf (Case study: Bandar Lengeh)

The sense of belonging to a place has been one of the main pillars of the stability of historical contexts during the past periods. Weakness or diminished sense of belonging as a root and hidden challenge, in addition to long-term social, psychological and physical harm, causes citizens to ignore the city environment and even larger spaces and issues of economic, social, cultural, political and etc. Therefore, identifying the factors affecting the sense of place in historical contexts is of particular importance. The purpose of the present quantitative and applied research, which has been done with the structural equation modelling approach, identify determinants of sense of place in the historical context of the city is the port of Lengeh. The statistical population of the study consists of all heads of households living in the historical context That 190 of them are estimated as a statistical sample and They have been questioned quite by random. The main research tool for collecting field data, is A researcher-made questionnaire That Its validity and reliability have been verified through the relevant processes. Used to analyse the data from SPSS and Amos Graphic software. The research results showed The general state of the sense of belonging to the place with the 4.022 mean is above average. The results showed a structural model of determinants of sense of place The designed structural model has high fitting capability and Was able to explain 75% of the variance of the dependent variable. In the mentioned structural model, the effect of the four variables of length of stay, income status, access to services and welfare-recreational facilities and social capital respectively with the values of 0.402, -0.379, 0.342 and 0.308, Has been statistically significant and The security variable with a total effect of 0.167 had no statistically significant effect on the sense of place.
