Monitoring the theory of the right to the city in the reproduction of urban space (Case study: Qazvin city)

It is possible to measure the realization of the right to the city as a demand related to the right to use urban space relying on the concept of perceived space, so It can also be said that attention to this subject can deal with the inefficiencies of urban spaces is important. The present study was an applied developmental type in terms of purpose and a survey in terms of method. A quantitative research method with a questionnaire, after categorizing the components of urban space desirability and the right to the city with a sample size of 390 citizens of Qazvin, sample selection was performed by combining proportional stratified- disproportional cluster sampling method. Then, using R 3.3.0 software and Kruskal-Wallis test statistical technique to determine the desirability of urban spaces by districts and also Kolmogorov-Smirnov test to assess the effect of each component on the desirability of urban space and finally, Spearman correlation test, shows that the desirability of urban spaces has a direct effect on the satisfaction of the right to the city. The obtained statistics show an average relationship between the two topics. In other words, increasing the desirability of urban space will significantly increase satisfaction with the right to the city. One of the main requirements for establishing this relationship correctly is the change in the occupation of urban spaces. Finally, the most distinction between the components of urban space desirability and residential district, the perceptual component of urban space desirability was obtained.
