Today, due to the transformation of the form of life and the proliferation of quantitative, gradually the qualitative and semantic concepts of the spirit of neighborhood in the minds of residents are dimmed. Factors such as immigration, Changes in the social composition of the population, Continuity of residence and persistence in neighborhoods have diminished. With the lack of infrastructure refinement, due to the lack of local community in the process of identifying problems and accurately measuring their needs, has led to a sharp divide between the efficiency of the neighborhoods and the needs of the inhabitants of the establishment and the neighborhoods have led to inefficiencies. While some modern neighborhoods are planned in a short time. On the contrary, the process is moving traditional neighborhoods. The main question is that the standards of a lasting Iranian neighborhood are up to date, from the point of view of the main inhabitants? The purpose of this paper is to answer the question that, What are the criterias of Up-to-date of persistent Iranian neighborhood, from the perspective of the main inhabitants? This analytical-qualitative study uses the Grounded theory method, Purposeful sampling of 5 neighborhoods with the statistical population is 86 people (until theoretical saturation) from the main residents. By means of position analysis, the final criteria were fixed. The parameters of security, sense of place, social status, spirituality and modern technology are one of the most important criteria for the survival of residents. The results show that the neighborhood, from the point of view of the inhabitants, goes beyond the broad concepts of elitist rigidity, more often than not, in simple mental and intriguing indicators, which require the recognition of the social reality of the people and the real needs of their daily lives with the collaborative interactive planning approach The dialectical relationship is between the opinion of experts and the views of residents in order to refine and update the neighborhood. The manifestation of the concept of Persistent Iranian Neighborhood is updated on the basis of principles: efficiency, persistence, dynamism and continuity in the form of conceptual model.
