This study explores the belonging to a place in the new town of Andisheh after three decades. This town has gained a higher population among four new towns around Tehran, which was a reason why it was selected as a case for the study.The methodology of this study is based on inquiry, and 385 questionnaires were randomly distributed and completed on working days in public spaces of the area such as in parks, at doors, and in local stores. The analyses were performed based on expert opinions, and the questionnaires were quantitatively analyzed by using SPSS software. The correlation analysis method indicated that there is a significant relationship between objective and objective factors on the one hand, and belonging to a place on the other hand, and many of the indexes had significant relationships with spatial attraction (a combined variable of the questionnaire’s three main variables). Further, they showed that the new town of Andisheh has an improper position in terms of correlation and social interaction. In the readability and clarity of passages and intersections of the town, there were no specific features for the residents. Furthermore, the index of neighbor interaction was investigated for social interactions. However, half of the participants stated that they were not willing to leave the town.
