The identity of people in society is formed in the light of various causes and factors. Location or environment is one of the most significant factors in categorizing individuals. The arrival and development of modern thought in Iranian cities has caused a change in the body and shape of the city in the past century. Moreover, this trend has accelerated, particularly in the last decade and after the Islamic Revolution, with the growth of technology. However, there is no comprehensive organization to change the mentality of individuals and their identity adaptation to the new body. It seems that the presence and use of citizens in these transformed environments has gradually led to a kind of spatial attachment in them. This research has been done by descriptive and analytical method and relying on quantitative and qualitative approach. To achieve the purpose of the research, after defining and explaining the concepts of spatial attachment, spatial identity and adaptive capacity, the conceptual model of the research was explained and defined and a structured questionnaire was designed based on it. Citizens and residents of area one of Tehran, according to the conditions of modern buildings in this area, were selected as the study sample. Therefore, after distributing the research questionnaire and reviewing these data by structural equation modeling, the research findings were reported. The results obtained from the findings showed that spatial attachment alone and directly will not be able to build an identity in the modern city and it is necessary for the presence of a mental adaptation in citizens' perceptions of the new environmental conditions. Research aims: 1. Achieving the indicators of spatial attachment of the citizens of region one of Tehran from modern views. 2. Recognition and study of the effect of spatial attachment of modern urban views on the formation of spatial identity in the citizens of region one of Tehran. Research questions: 1. What are the indicators of spatial attachment in the citizens of region one of Tehran? 2. Modern urban landscapes, considering the adaptive capacity of individuals, how and through what mechanism do they affect their spatial identity in a region of Tehran?
