“…In addition, to examine the quality of life in different regions of France, Jany-Catrice and Marlier (2013) used seven indicators to evaluate the level of social health, including income, work and employment, education, health, housing, physical safety and bonds/ties. Given the purpose of their research, this concept is very close to the concept of urban life quality.…”

“…The present study focuses on the subjective QoUL. According to the literature, the indicators of QoUL can be divided into four major groups: economic QoUL (Lee and Guhathakurta, 2013; McAslan et al , 2013); social QoUL (Jany-Catrice and Marlier, 2013; Low et al , 2017); physical QoUL (McAslan et al , 2013; Joaquim Araújo de Azevedo et al , 2013); and combined satisfaction (Barati and Yazdanpanah, 2011) …”

Purpose The purpose of this study is on the social aspects of regeneration of historical neighborhoods in Iranian cities. For this purpose, the authors investigated the effect of the social capital of the residents of historical neighborhoods in Tehran on their subjective quality of life and on their willingness to continue living in these historical districts. This study was motivated by the fact that the primary issue in regeneration of Tehran’s historical districts is to stimulate the residents’ desire to continue living in their neighborhoods, thereby preventing the population from decreasing. Design/methodology/approach A review of the theoretical literature revealed that the subjective quality of urban life could act as an intermediary construct that explains the link between social capital and willingness to continue living in a district. With this assumption, the authors administered a questionnaire to 389 residents of different historical neighborhoods who had been randomly selected by cluster sampling. The analysis of the data and the relationships among the constructs was conducted using structural equation modeling. Findings The results suggest that increase in the participants’ social capital, including neighborhood bonds, civic participation, social networks and trust, could increase both their life satisfaction (i.e. subjective quality of urban life) and their willingness to live in the historical district. As indicated by the structural model of this study, the social capital both directly influences willingness to continue living and has an indirect effect on it through the intermediary construct of subjective quality of urban life. Practical implications The findings of this study can help the policymakers of historical districts in Tehran to determine high-priority strategies for regenerating these districts. Some of the most practical policies that can be applied to the context of Tehran include provision of facilities for enhancement of social networks and bonds, formation of non-governmental organizations and using neighborhood bonds to improve the environmental conditions of neighborhood units. Originality/value This study has several advantages. First, the measures used that were taken from the literature have been adjusted to the context of the study with the help of a group of experts. In other words, although the constructs have their roots in theory, their measures are of a local and context-based nature. Second, the obtained results would direct the current approaches to regeneration of historical districts in Iran, which primarily have a physical, economic and elitist basis, towards additional social and participatory approaches.

Indicators for assessing the level of economic security of the region provide an opportunity for a comprehensive assessment of the development and stability of the territory, its ability to withstand the influence of negative external and internal factors. Studies show that there is currently no generally accepted method of assessing the level of economic security. Comparison of actual values of indicators with threshold allows to judge dynamics of change of levels of components of economic security of regions and to carry out a comparative assessment of these components. Definition and calculation of the integral indicator of economic security of the regions comprising the Central Black Earth Economic Region, is proposed by an original technique, allowing to assess the dynamics of changes in the economic security in general, and to determine the spectrum of threats at various components. The integral normalized indicator gives an idea of some boundary between the state of security and the state of insecurity of the region from external and internal threats and allows to visually compare the state of the regions among themselves.
