The place of citizen participation in the urban green economy with emphasis on food security, (case study: District 4 of Tehran Municipality)

The present study was conducted to investigate the position of citizen participation in the urban green economy with emphasis on food security. The final theory chosen for this research was to summarize the theory of agricultural geography of David Gregg. Due to the importance of two-way communication between city and village in order to achieve a sustainable optimal level in food security, this research has been done with descriptive-analytical method and systematic random selection in Tehran Pars neighborhood of Tehran. After describing citizenship participation and food security in line with the research framework, the variables were identified and discussed based on the three axes of social, economic and physical with the correlation coefficient (R) test method. Finally, emphasizing the need for this relationship and partnership to ensure food security, it was suggested to use the capacity of rural migrants to the city, as well as the urban agricultural plan with emphasis on water control resources to strengthen food security.
