Introduction: In most of the existing literature about identity, the influential role of place in the formation of identity is mentioned and its importance is emphasized. On the other hand, addressing the issue of Identity of place has also been the subject of some research in the sector of environmental studies and planning. The present article first examines and analyses the background of the research in two dimensions: 1) the background of theories and 2) the background of the methodology of research in place identity and has identified the shortcomings of the background of research methodology in identity of place. In the background section of theories, these theories are divided into two main categories, including earlier theories and late theories about the definition of the identity of place. The movement from earlier definitions to later definitions in recent decades is the result of paying attention to the numerous non-physical dimensions and components that make up the identity of the place, especially the dimensions related to the political economy and social forces of the place.
Methodology: Using the exploratory and inductive research method, after reviewing the existing literature on the identity of place, the conceptual framework (content) and the procedural framework (process) of the formation of the identity of place have been explained. In the second part of the article, based on the review of the existing literature on research methodology, among the available methodologies in the qualitative approach, the discourse study methodology and the narrative research method as its subset are introduced as research components in place identity. In the following, the narrative research method is explained and the capabilities of this method in investigating the identity of the place are pointed out, including the ability to investigate the temporal process of the formation of meanings, the investigation of disputed meanings between different social and political forces, and comprehensive collection of information, and data and a holistic and systematic analysis of the findings and data collected.
Results: As the result of the article, the ways using the narrative inquiry method in investigating the identity of place are briefly discussed and the general framework analyzed based on the discourse analysis method is overviewed.
Conclusion: Based on what was discussed in this article, the methodological approach of validity research can be introduced as one of the most comprehensive research methods in spatial identity. One of the advantages of this method is that by employing it, critical points in spatial identity are significantly identifiable compared to other methods, and this can be used in the process of presenting a solution.
