The creation of profound changes in the present age has overshadowed all aspects of individual and social life. Population growth and the need to increase fame have led to the creation of new cities on the outskirts of large cities. These cities have special requirements in space and structure. This issue has a direct impact on subjects related to social life and has affected the identity of neighborhoods in individuals. The new city of Baharestan in Isfahan is one of such solemn cities. In the meantime, the study of socio-economic status and sense of neighborhood identity in the new city of Baharestan can pave the way for more detailed studies in the construction of new cities. A combined method, i.e. a combination of library and field methods, has been applied to collect information; in this sense, data is gathered via a questionnaire.

The sample size was determined using Cochran's formula of 385 people. The sampling method is carried out via simple cluster and random. Also, sampling is carried out by the means of multi-stage cluster. Findings indicate that there is no significant difference in terms of gender, age and marital status of the neighborhood; on the other hand, a significant relationship between the socio-economic status and the identity of the neighborhood in the new city of Baharestan is observable.Research aims:1.
