Abstract

The city is generally known for impersonal social relations, anonymity, self-restraint and superficial and transitory relations. But the city also gives other characteristics such as family ties and kinship, neighborhood and relationships between friends, both overtly and covertly, in the context of self-training. Simmel and Wirth’s approach refers to the impersonal and individualistic relationships of the city, and Gans and Fischer’s approach focuses on family ties and friends, and Jacobs’s approach focuses on the social relationships of neighborhoods. This research seeks to show that there are Gemeinschaft social relations in Hamedan and this hypothesis of modern urban theorists can be disputed. For this reason, structural analysis has been used to analyze social relations. A survey method was used with cluster sampling in four different urban areas with 400 tested questionnaires. dimensions of social relationships including distance and closeness (relationship size); the amount of commuting, desire to commute (number of relationships); Trust, a feeling of friendship and help (relationship intensity). These dimensions have been measured among family, relatives, friends, neighbors and local residents and friends. It is a family analysis unit. Families show a very high level of communication, willingness to communicate, trust, feeling of friendship and helping their family members, close relatives. Although the level of trust and friendship of people with friends is not very high compared to family relations and close relatives, but compared to local residents and neighbors, they have a much better situation. This confirms the hypothesis of the research based on the fact that there are Gemeinschaft social relations in the neighborhoods of the city. At the same time, significant differences can be seen between the mentioned dimensions of social relations between the four urban areas. The affluent area is at a low level in terms of Gemeinschaft relationships and is different from the other three areas.
