Assessing the managerial coordination of the new city of Fooladshahr with the surrounding settlements

Good governance is known as the third millennium model for city management. One of the most important challenges in achieving good urban governance and institutionalizing this model in urban management is how to manage the city as the most effective, least costly and sustainable management methods. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to identify the components affecting the realization of good governance in the new city of Fooladshahr and the extent of its coordination with surrounding settlements such as Minadasht, Najafabad and Zarrinshahr. The present research is of applied type and its analysis method is descriptiveanalytical. The data and information required for the research have been collected in two ways: library and field. The geographical area of the research is the new city of Fooladshahr and the surrounding settlements. The statistical population of the study includes the population of residents over 15 years (11797 people) and the sample size is equal to 375 residents and 50 officials. The sample sizes were selected using Cochran's formula and purposely simple random method. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used for the reliability of the questionnaire. For data analysis, SPSS software and Friedman test, Spearman correlation and one-sample t-test were used. The variables were evaluated using the Likert scale. The results indicate that there is a significant difference between the sub-index of good urban humility from the perspective of officials and citizens. Sub-indicators of regularity and community-based have the greatest impact on good urban governance from the citizens 'point of view, respectively, and also sub-indicators of accountability and regularity have the greatest impact on good urban governance from the officials' point of view, respectively. There is inconsistency between the urban governance of the new city of Fooladshahr and the urban management of Zarrinshahr, Minadasht and Najafabad in each of the financial, administrative, decision-making and executive dimensions. In general, the average relationship between Fooladshahr urban governance and surrounding cities is less than the average of 3 and very weak. The one-sample t-test also shows that, according to experts, there is a weak and significant coordination between the urban governance of Fooladshahr and the surrounding settlements
