We examined conceptions of, and satisfaction with, community of residence for two samples drawn from traditional and modem districts of Istanbul, Turkey, using multivariate analyses. A procrustean analysis revealed that the relationships of individuals to their communities of residence are highly complex and show indications of both transformation and persistence. Most significant was the strong degree of reproducibility of multivariate indicators of a "belongingness" dimension in both samples. Results are also discussed in relation to possible extensions of current microsocial modernity theory.
