چکیده:
Attachment to the historical background of the society and the climate in which people live is considered one of the important identity-forming elements in many societies. These two factors are particularly important and effective in Fars province, which possesses a glorious historical background and diverse geography. Today, as communication devices such as telephones, satellites, and the internet have turned the global society into a global village, determining the level of youth attachment to these two factors and the factors affecting them is of special importance. This article, which is the result of empirical research in this field, seeks to answer the following questions: Do the youth of Shiraz face problems in these two dimensions of identity or not? What factors are related to this process? What is the extent of the impact of each independent variable on the sense of belonging to these two dimensions of identity? The statistical sample of this research consists of four hundred young people from the city of Shiraz (third-year secondary school students). The results show that only 5 percent of respondents experience disruption in the historical dimension and 10 percent in the geographical dimension, and the variables of sense of community belonging, legitimacy of the political system, belief in the usefulness of social participation, school curriculum, connection with others, national identity narrative, and participation in extracurricular activities have many significant relationships with geographical identity and history.

The results show that only 5 percent of respondents experience disruption in the historical dimension and 10 percent in the geographical dimension, and the variables of sense of belonging to society, legitimacy of the political system, belief in the usefulness of social participation, school curriculum, communication with others, national identity narrative, and participation in extracurricular activities have many significant relationships with geographical identity and history.
The third view regarding identity appears in the research of Tajfel3 and individuals such as John Turner4, Hogg5, Occas6, Richer7, under the title of Social Identity Theory.
(Refer to the page image) As Table No. 5 shows, out of all the independent variables, the variables of sense of community belonging, legitimacy of the political system, belief in the usefulness of social participation, school curriculum, connection with others, national identity narrative, and participation in extracurricular activities, or geographical and historical identity, have many significant relationships, which is a strong positive relationship between these variables and geographical and historical identity; such that with an increase in these variables, the level of geographical and historical identity of the individuals under study also increases.
Therefore, considering the final model of the linear regression equation, the significant variables can be combined as follows: (Refer to the page image) In the provided equation, for every one unit increase in sense of community belonging and use of mass media, geographical identity increases by 0/083 and 0/181 respectively, and for every one unit increase in positive attitude towards the West, 0/33 of the geographical identity is decreased.
