The purpose of this study is on the social aspects of regeneration of historical neighborhoods in Iranian cities. For this purpose, the authors investigated the effect of the social capital of the residents of historical neighborhoods in Tehran on their subjective quality of life and on their willingness to continue living in these historical districts. This study was motivated by the fact that the primary issue in regeneration of Tehran’s historical districts is to stimulate the residents’ desire to continue living in their neighborhoods, thereby preventing the population from decreasing.,A review of the theoretical literature revealed that the subjective quality of urban life could act as an intermediary construct that explains the link between social capital and willingness to continue living in a district. With this assumption, the authors administered a questionnaire to 389 residents of different historical neighborhoods who had been randomly selected by cluster sampling. The analysis of the data and the relationships among the constructs was conducted using structural equation modeling.,The results suggest that increase in the participants’ social capital, including neighborhood bonds, civic participation, social networks and trust, could increase both their life satisfaction (i.e. subjective quality of urban life) and their willingness to live in the historical district. As indicated by the structural model of this study, the social capital both directly influences willingness to continue living and has an indirect effect on it through the intermediary construct of subjective quality of urban life.,The findings of this study can help the policymakers of historical districts in Tehran to determine high-priority strategies for regenerating these districts. Some of the most practical policies that can be applied to the context of Tehran include provision of facilities for enhancement of social networks and bonds, formation of non-governmental organizations and using neighborhood bonds to improve the environmental conditions of neighborhood units.,This study has several advantages. First, the measures used that were taken from the literature have been adjusted to the context of the study with the help of a group of experts. In other words, although the constructs have their roots in theory, their measures are of a local and context-based nature. Second, the obtained results would direct the current approaches to regeneration of historical districts in Iran, which primarily have a physical, economic and elitist basis, towards additional social and participatory approaches.

城市生活质量的社会方面：社会资本如何影响居民继续居住在历史街区的愿望？来自伊朗德黑兰的证据

这项研究的目的是在伊朗城市历史街区再生的社会方面。为此，作者调查了德黑兰历史街区居民的社会资本对他们的主观生活质量以及他们继续生活在这些历史街区的意愿的影响。这项研究的动机是，德黑兰历史街区的复兴的首要问题是激发居民继续居住在邻里的欲望，从而防止人口减少。理论文献的回顾表明，主观素质城市生活的变化可以作为一种中介结构，解释社会资本与愿意继续居住在一个地区之间的联系。有了这个假设，这组作者对389名不同历史街区的居民进行了问卷调查，这些居民是通过整群抽样随机选择的。使用结构方程模型对数据和结构之间的关系进行了分析。结果表明，参与者的社会资本的增加（包括邻里关系，公民参与，社交网络和信任）可以提高他们的生活满意度（即城市生活的主观素质）及其在历史街区的居住意愿。正如本研究的结构模型所表明的那样，社会资本既直接影响人们继续生活的意愿，又通过城市生活主观质量的中介结构对其产生间接影响。这项研究的结果可以帮助德黑兰历史文化区的政策制定者确定优先发展这些文化区的策略。可用于德黑兰背景的一些最实际的政策包括提供设施，以增强社交网络和纽带，建立非政府组织以及使用邻里债券来改善邻里单位的环境条件。几个优点。首先，在一组专家的帮助下，从文献中采用的措施已经根据研究的背景进行了调整。换句话说，尽管这些结构在理论上具有根源，但是它们的度量却具有局部性和基于上下文的性质。第二，
