Abstract
Neighborhood sustainability is one of the most important approaches to achieving sustainable development at the micro-urban scale and is proposed as a platform for assessing the quality of life, social cohesion, and efficiency of the urban environment. The present study aimed to investigate the status of neighborhood sustainable development indicators in the Nezamabad neighborhood of District 7 of Tehran Municipality. This study is descriptive-analytical in that four indicators of identity, safety and security, vitality, and place belonging were measured as socio-cultural components of neighborhood sustainable development. After collection, the research data were analyzed using the binomial test, considering the non-normal distribution of most of the variables. The results of the study showed that the indicators of identity, place belonging, and safety and security in the Nezamabad neighborhood are in a stable state, but the vitality index is evaluated as unstable. Despite the relative sustainability of some components, the findings show that Nizamabad neighborhood is not considered an acceptable sustainable neighborhood from an overall perspective. Therefore, strengthening physical, social, and functional components, especially in the area of neighborhood vitality, is essential to improve the sustainability level of this area.
