Abstract
This study aims to extract parameters defining neighborhoods from the residents’ points of view and compare them
to those understood by experts. Experts’ proposed parameters and factors were extracted from the literature
review, and residents’ parameters were obtained from conducting in-depth interviews analyzed by the Grounded
theory method. Comparing experts’ and residents’ parameters shows weak, medium, and strong conformity
between their parameters. Also, their factors, which are defining parameters, are different. Thus, parameters
defining neighborhoods are not generalizable and cultural characteristics and local values of residents need to be
considered in planning and policymaking for neighborhoods.
