description Sense of communication is one of the most important social specifications of sustainable neighborhood that have fallen due to new development and the influence of Western architecture (Zarabadi and Khazae, 2009). This sense has a long history especially in Islamic countries like Iran which is the presenter of several Homogeneous neighborhoods that were shaped based on residence social communications which preserved the Characteristics of cultural, religious, and ethnic values of the area. Despite high level of consideration to social communications in designing Old Iranian cities, most of new planned urban areas are inappropriate in term of social values such as social interactions, interrelationship, communications and etc. and even worth, survival of old and historical neighborhood in Iran is recently under threat by loss of sense of communication among local residents. This study aims to identify and determine the elements which result in creation of communication sense in order to create and maintain a socially sustainable neighborhood.
