Introduction: Sustainable neighborhood development is a perspective that believes that solving the current problems of cities depends on returning to the concept of neighborhood. The neighborhood is the most fundamental unit of urban development, and the minor scale of attention to various aspects of sustainability as an urban unit with greater control over the city and as a good level for testing new ideas and ways to achieve sustainable urban development has received increasing attention. However, no extensive studies have been conducted on this concept on a micro-scale, and its implementation and quantifying the relationships between the various components of sustainability is also an important issue that has been neglected. 
Methodology: The present study aims to assess the impact of physical - spatial, economic, socio-cultural, transportation and communications, environmental, governance - management on the sustainability of neighborhoods in Javadiyeh Neighbourhood District 16 of Tehran sample was formed. Accordingly, after reviewing the literature related to the issue of sustainability, a conceptual model of the research was formed. Then a questionnaire was surveyed from the residents of the study neighborhood. It should be noted that according to the Cochrane formula, the statistical population includes 381 people. In this study, data analysis was performed using the structural equation modeling method and Smartpls software. 
Results: The results showed that the three paths "governance-management →economic → socio-cultural", "governance-management → economic → sustainability of neighborhoods" and "economic → socio-cultural → environment" With the coefficients of 4/898, 3/208, and 1/988, respectively, were the essential paths influencing citizens' perception of sustainability of neighborhoods and in general, the governance-management component was recognized as the most effective component in determining the sustainability of neighborhoods.
Conclusion: To improve sustainability in different areas, we can emphasize the need to use a strategic plan for sustainable urban development in which special attention is paid to the impact of different components of sustainability on each other.
