The rapid growth of urbanization in recent decades has led to social inequality, poverty, and the physical manifestation of this issue in accessing urban capital. Therefore, the most important mission of urban experts is to eliminate these disparities to achieve urban capital for different social groups. This study addresses the issue of spatial justice in the Mesbah neighborhood of Karaj, explaining its components and how they influence each other. The research method is quantitative and utilizes structural equation modeling through SmartPLS software. By reviewing the theoretical literature, the concept of spatial justice and its criteria and indicators were defined. Then, the extracted indicators were quantitatively assessed and analyzed in the case study. For this purpose, a questionnaire was prepared based on the identified indicators and was randomly distributed among 372 residents of the neighborhood. The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling. The results showed that the security factor, with a regression coefficient of 0.764 and a coefficient of determination of 0.583, has the most significant influence on the perception of spatial justice in this neighborhood. The access and public transportation network component ranks second in importance, with a regression coefficient of 0.668 and a coefficient of determination of 0.446. The access to public services and facilities component ranks third, with a regression coefficient of 0.659 and a coefficient of determination of 0.435. Other components include public health (regression coefficient: 0.656), urban management (0.643), sense of place belonging (0.623), identity and culture (0.592), and housing evaluation (0.581), respectively. Therefore, through proper planning of local access, public transportation, and access to local facilities and services, significant improvements can be made in enhancing spatial justice in the Mesbah neighborhood.
