According to the results of the research, welcome visits still continue among the neighbors. As the monthly income increases, the intimacy decreases in the neighborhood, while those with a high level of education consider the door-to-door guest more negatively. 

Prof. Ebulfez Süleymanlı said that in modern society, individuals prefer to spend their time in consumer places like shopping malls instead of getting to know their neighbors and strengthen their relations.
