In this paper a comprehensive model of deterioration and rehabilitation processes which relate to physical and environmental factors of residential neighborhoods is proposed and is tested empirically against data of the city of Haifa. The basic hypothesis in the model is that deterioration and rehabilitation are trends in urban processes, expressed through decline and increase in maintenance levels. Urban processes are presented as a set of functional relationships, with a focus on three behavioral decision-variables that represent cumulative actions of households-turnover, modifications, and maintenance. A distinction is suggested between 'natural' and 'forced' activities on the basis of which deterioration and rehabilitation processes are classified. The most important findings concern the decisive influence that was found to originate from primarily physical factors on deterioration and rehabilitation
