Abstract
Creating a context for a sense of belonging to a place and strengthening the practical criteria for increasing the quality of life in informal settlements adds to the necessity of evaluating this issue and recognizing the factors that strengthen it. In this regard, this research with analytical description and review methods of texts, sources, and visual documents in library studies and case research method, recognizes the factors involved in creating a sense of belonging in such settlements and also the effects of spatial configuration changes in enhancing the potential sense of belonging in Nakhodcher neighborhood of Rasht city. The quantitative results obtained from the distribution of 384 questionnaires have been analyzed by the structural model method. This method is used to investigate the effect of a significant relationship between the factors of sense of belonging in this neighborhood and it examines the correlation of variables, which is one of the prerequisites for doing regression. The research findings from the questionnaire show that there is a significant positive relationship between the effective factors in the formation of the sense of belonging, including perceptual-cognitive, environmental-physical, and socio-cultural factors; So that by increasing the parameters of spatial configuration such as the length of passages, interconnectedness, depth, connection, and selection, the quality of the sense of belonging factors mentioned above will also increase. Summarizing the conditions obtained by Depth map software and space layout indicators shows that the minimum value of the connection index in the network of passages of the fabric of the Nakhodcher neighborhood indicates the minimal permeability of the fabric and its organicity. To strengthen the dynamics of this area, the average depth of the entrances of the neighborhood should be kept to a minimum and different uses should be established in the vicinity of the main axis.
Highlights
This method is used in order to investigate the effect of the significant relationship between the factors of sense of belonging in the Nokhodchar area of Rasht and it examines the correlation relationship of the variables which is one of the prerequisites for doing regression; So that by increasing the parameters of spatial configuration such as the length of passages, interconnectedness, depth, connection, and selection, the quality of the sense of belonging factors mentioned above will also increase. Also, in the quantitative section, the quality of the spatial configuration of the Nokhodchar neighborhood has been investigated using "Depth map" software and its results correspond to the second questionnaire.
Conclusion
The results of the questionnaire, which was analyzed using the structural model method, indicate the existence of a significant positive relationship between the perceptual-cognitive factor as one of the criteria of the sense of belonging and spatial configuration parameters. This factor has more than 80% ability to predict the changes of parameters such as the length of passages, connection, depth, and connection, and 60% of the selection parameter. Thus, if the standard deviation changes of perceptual-cognitive factors increase in the marginal area, then the level of security, neighborhood relations, the physical and spatial identity of the roads, and the aesthetic and memorable aspects of the roads in the marginal area will increase. But the socio-cultural factor has more than 50% ability to predict the changes of factors including the length of passages, connection, depth, and connection, and more than 45% for the selection factor. Like the previous factor, there is a direct relationship between the components of the socio-cultural factor, including the quality of social interactions, symbols, and signs, the vitality of the urban space, ethnicity and the issue of kinship, and spatial configuration parameters and the increase in the standard deviation of socio-cultural factors in the context of informal settlements causes the increase in the quality of the above-mentioned micro-measures. Finally, the physical-environmental factor has more than 50% ability to predict the changes of parameters such as the length of passages, connection, and the selection and more than 35% for depth and connection parameters. Also, the results of "Depth-map" software, which was used to evaluate the quality of the spatial configuration of the Nokhodchar area, show that according to the detailed plans of Rasht, the Nokhodchar area has an organic texture and consists of various blocks. Examining the correlation between the index of general cohesion and local cohesion shows that the establishment of a favorable connection between the main axes and sub-axes leads to the improvement of the identity index in the mentioned area and ensures the centrality of the neighborhood. It is necessary to pay attention to this point, the connection index in the network of passages of the Nokhodchar tissue is at a minimum, and the more we move towards the interior of the tissue, the greater the distance from the surrounding streets of the area is perceived, and this is a confirmation of its organicist and minimal permeability

اهمیت ایجاد زمینههای حس تعلق خاطر به مکان و تقویت معیارهای مؤثر بر آن در جهت افزایش کیفیت زندگی در سکونتگاههای غیررسمی، به ضرورت ارزیابی این موضوع و شناخت عوامل تقویت کننده آن میافزاید. در این راستا، این پژوهش با رویکردی توصیفی تحلیلی و شیوههای مرور متون، منابع و اسناد تصویری در بستر مطالعات کتابخانهای و روش تحقیقی موردی، به بازشناسی عوامل دخیل در آفرینش حس تعلق خاطر در اینگونه سکونتگاهها میپردازد و نیز تأثیرات تغییرات پارامترهای پیکرهبندی فضایی در ارتقاء حس تعلق خاطر در محله نخودچر شهر رشت را با ابزار پرسشنامه بررسی مینماید. نتایج کمّی بدست آمده از توزیع 384 پرسشنامه به روش مدل ساختاری تحلیل شده است. این روش به منظور بررسی تأثیر رابطهای معنادار مابین عوامل حس تعلق خاطر در این محله بکار گرفته شده و رابطه همبستگی متغیرها که یکی از پیششرطهای انجام رگرسیون میباشد را بررسی مینماید. یافتههای پژوهش از پرسشنامه نشان میدهد مابین عوامل مؤثر در شکلگیری احساس تعلق خاطر شامل عوامل ادراکی-شناختی، محیطی-کالبدی و اجتماعی-فرهنگی، رابطه مثبت معناداری وجود دارد؛ بطوریکه با افزایش پارامترهای پیکرهبندی فضایی از قبیل طول معابر، هم پیوندی، عمق، اتصال و انتخاب، میزان کیفیت عوامل حس تعلق خاطر افزایش خواهد یافت. جمعبندی شرایط بدست آمده توسط نرمافزار دپسمپ و شاخصههای چیدمان فضا نشان میدهد مقدار حداقلی شاخصه اتصال نیز در شبکه معابر بافت محله نخودچر نشان دهنده نفوذپذیری کمینه بافت و ارگانیک بودن آن است. بمنظور تقویت پویایی این منطقه، عمق میانگین ورودیهای محله میبایست در حالت کمینه قرار گیرد و کاربریهای مختلف در مجاورت محور اصلی استقرار یابند. همچنین همبستگی شاخصههای همپیوندی کلی و همپیوندی محلی، موجبات ارتباط مابین محورهای اصلی و فرعی را تامین نموده و میزان شاخصه هویت در مرکز محله نخودچر را افزایش میدهد.
