Abstract

One of the most important challenges in regeneration of historical Zone of Tehran is the persistent decline of the resident and the reduction of life standards. So far, in urban development plans, increasing the objective dimensions of residents' quality of life is the most regular strategy in order to encourage them to remain in this zone. However, in the present study, a significant relationship between subjective dimensions of resident’s quality of life and their social capital is observed.  This relation is examined by using structural equation modeling. For examination this relationship 389 questionnaires were distributed among residents. As a result, it seems besides of paying attention to the objective dimensions of urban quality of life, the promotion of indicators such as trust, participation, neighborhoods bonding and social networks can play an effective role in improving the quality of urban life. It has led to increased willingness of residents to remain in this zone.
