Existing literature has a good number of evidences on relationship between amenities and population movements, Economic growth, development of cities, cultural creativities, quality of life and elderly migrations. In this survey 858 citizens aged 20-64 from five selected districts in Tehran are interviewed. The questionnaire is built from 103 items, measuring 9 latent concepts of urban amenities, personal, household and residential characteristics and some items for measuring citizen’s attitude toward changing their resident as dependent variable. Findings indicate that all urban amenity values are assessed as important by respondents. Also, the 9 urban amenity concepts have significant relationship with the age, sex, education, occupation, marital status and the length of residence. The results of the Logistic Regression show that 58.3 percent of variance of people’s attitude toward changing their residence could be explained by demographic and amenity variables.
