Therefore, aim of the study is identify subjects and sub-subjects, which are considered when assessing sustainability in the

residential neighborhoods, and their relationship with dimensions of sustainability through literature research and content

analysis. As a result, the numbers of sub-subjects related to social, environmental, and regional dimensions is higher than

others. However, during the process of assessing, the relatively importance of the sub-subjects also should be determined

and considered. This study provides a framework, which is reflected to which sub-subjects are generally using when assessing
