Place and the sense of attachment to a place are among the topics that are considered in this study in which people are shown to have internal relationship with the environment. In fact, the feeling of belonging and attachment to a place play a decisive role in any situation and space, in order to benefit and maintain human presence there. This sense leads to the connection in such a way that man considers himself as a part of the place. The spatial attachment is a relationship of belonging and identity to the environment in which one lives. For this reason, the purpose of this study is to achieve the effective factors in the formation of a sense of attachment, by recognizing the characteristics of the place. This research is qualitative in nature and is conducted with an existential phenomenological approach in which three types of informal (conversational) and semi-structured interviews and in-depth (structured) interviews are used as data tools. Findings show that two categories of factors can be effective in the sense of attachment of residents to the house: external dialectic and factors that are related to the outside of the house (i.e., the quality of the exterior appearance of the house; neighborhood reputation and security) and internal dialectics factors that are related to inside (i.e. ownership; quality of comfort; physical quality of the house; neighborhood satisfaction and positive emotional relationships). These two categories influence the formation of residents' attachment to house i.e. "human-house interaction" and have been identified as the core of research. In the phenomenological approach, the sense of belonging means the inter-relationship between human and the environment, which includes all indicators.

Identity preservation in the design of the built environment and trying to manifested in today buildings of the most important objectives in architecture, because the most important factor is the transfer of identity among the citizens. However, the process of globalization has reduced the possibility of local identity and has led to a crisis of identity and meaning in contemporary architecture. That its consequences include lack of confidence, lack of belonging to the place and generally psychological shortcomings. Therefore, in this study, we used Descriptive analytic and Exploratory scrolling To find effective variables in promoting identity and increasing citizens’ sense of belonging based on library research and using questionnaire. For final confirmation of hypotheses semi-structured interviews with 11 specialists in architecture and urbanism And a survey of 407 citizens from Guilan were conducted. And finally we analyzed w the responses by Spss software and by using the Pearson correlation test, variance and the regression. The relationship between Independent variables extractive and the dependent variable was analyzed and ranked by the theoretical model and design principles. According to the research findings, with permeability, Sensory richness attention to the facades of buildings, Native symbols and signs, Readability in physical form and considering the background in the design, can result in Improvement the identity of the society and increase the citizens’ sense of belonging.
