According to the procedures of developments, plurality of cultures and the growth of urban modernization, local identity has become divergent from its primitive form and it is in fact undergoing constant changes. On the other side of the coin, this issue has a special notion among the generations. Additionally, present research takes into account the methods of constructive local identity rooted in cultural elements among Bandar Abbas’ citizens. The qualitative methodology devised in this study and required Data composed of semi-structured interview with 28 individuals include Men & Women ranging from 20 to 65 years old. The findings reflect generational differences upon constructive local identity and confrontation with. In fact, the first generation (over 50 years old) has a uniform and cohesive cultural-indigenous identity and resists new identities. The second group (31-50 years) puts elements of both indigenous and non-indigenous identities together, and finally the younger generation (20-30 years) has constructed its cultural identity in an incoherent and dual way.

The relationship of the natives of Bandar Abbas with non-natives is another issue, along with the different perceptions of various generations regarding indigenous identity or the so-called Bandari (Bandar Abbasi) identity and its constituent elements, part of which is the result of the perception and interpretation that individuals of each generation have had through daily life with immigrants and non-natives living in the city (Rastgar and Hadi, 2020).
Therefore, the fundamental question of the present research is: how do the native citizens of Bandar Abbas in different generations perceive their indigenous identity, and based on which elements and concepts do they construct it for themselves?
5. Research Findings The construction of indigenous cultural identity among three age groups was carried out across 8 components: environment, food, customs and beliefs, language, clothing, music, family, and communications, which are interpreted differently in each generation compared to others.
