In the city of Ahvaz with its special characteristics in terms of urbanization and economic situation issues endanger the mental and social health and, consequently, the of the happiness citizens, which highlights the need to address the happiness of the citizens in Ahvaz The present study is theoretical-applied and methodologically "descriptive-analytical" in the field of behavioral geography. The tool used in this study is Oxford Happiness Standard Questionnaire. The statistical population includes the citizens of Ahvaz (both men and women) in the age range of 15 years and above, which is equal to 887,280 people. The sample size is 385 persons. The results showed that there is a significant difference between the studied areas in terms of the impact of economic environment factors on the level of happiness of citizens and the impact of economic environment factors on the level of happiness of citizens varies based on different places. In fact, the same levels of variables and economic factors lead to different levels of happiness in different neighborhoods. In fact, the factors of economic environment due to spatial and spatial differences and inequalities lead to inequality in the level of happiness among citizens. The results of structural equation modeling shown the effect of economic environment factors on the level of happiness of citizens in the six neighborhoods is not the same and does not follow a specific pattern. The place variable plays a role as an intermediate variable in this context.
