Abstract

The concept of urban identity remains a subject of debate among scholars and across various scientific disciplines. Researchers have explored urban identity through multiple approaches, including the visual perception theory of imageability, pattern language theory, and psychological theories. Meanwhile, social identity theory, self-categorization theory, and identity process theory have provided a foundation for constructing a comprehensive conceptual framework for urban identity. Unlike prior research, this study integrates urban identity, social identity theory, and identity process theory, bridging tangible and intangible aspects of urban space. It refines a conceptual framework of urban identity by identifying key contributing factors and assessing their impact based on residents’ perceptions. Additionally, it supports Da Lat’s urban identity preservation amid urbanization, aiding urban planning, management, and heritage conservation. This research is grounded in environment–behavior studies, providing a platform to explore urban identity in social, personal, and temporal dimensions based on urban dwellers’ perceptions. Using a mixed-methods approach, including Group Focused Discussions, In-depth Interviews, and Questionnaires, the study identifies six dimensions of urban identity, further categorized into 17 conceptual groups. Additionally, it defines 19 main categories comprising 93 specific elements, offering a scientific foundation for theoretical urban identity structures in Da Lat and guiding its urban planning and development.

期刊介绍: in Shams Engineering Journal is an international journal devoted to publication of peer reviewed original high-quality research papers and review papers in both traditional topics and those of emerging science and technology. Areas of both theoretical and fundamental interest as well as those concerning industrial applications, emerging instrumental techniques and those which have some practical application to an aspect of human endeavor, such as the preservation of the environment, health, waste disposal are welcome. The overall focus is on original and rigorous scientific research results which have generic significance. Ain Shams Engineering Journal focuses upon aspects of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, civil engineering, chemical engineering, petroleum engineering, environmental engineering, architectural and urban planning engineering. Papers in which knowledge from other disciplines is integrated with engineering are especially welcome like nanotechnology, material sciences, and computational methods as well as applied basic sciences: engineering mathematics, physics and chemistry.
