Review and Comparative Study of the Inclination to Participate among Old and New Urban Textile Residents Using AHP Model (Case Study: Old and New Neighborhoods of Kerman)

The institutionalization of participation and presence of people in the process of city management is the main key to the success of urban development projects and is a key factor in assessing the performance of the urban management system that can lead to sustainable urban development; therefore, today, globally, the "participatory approach" in urban programs has been Reinforced. In this approach,the requirements of each community are very important so that making policies, planninga and designing patterns must be done according to it. In other words, in order to implement participatory planning, the starting point is to measure the willingness to participate in different urban neighborhoods, so that the urban planning process is proportionate to the existing, systemic and operational differences; hence, the main purpose of this paper is to identify and recognize the willingness to participate in Different urban neighborhoods. This study, through surveying and quantitative method, through the Analytic Hierarchy Analytic Model (AHP) and correlation analysishas tried to first examine the impact of personal and household characteristics on the degree of participation, and then to do a comparative comparison of the willingness of citizens to participate in the old textures and New city of Kerman. Finally, it is concluded there is a significant relationship between personal characteristics, gender and level of interest to neighborhood and membership in organizations with the desire to participate. Amongthe differendt levels of participation, the highest degree of participation is related to political participation and the lowest one is related to financial participation. Finally, the willingness to participate among the residents of the new texture (Motahari district) is more than the inhabitants of the old texture (mosque of Malek district).
