Urban planning has undergone significant transformations throughout history marked by distinct eras characterized by shifts in planning principles, approaches, and objectives. In recent years, citizens’ participation and democratization of urban management have gained considerable attention and importance. It has become evident that imposing large-scale urban projects on communities without their input or involvement can lead to severe backlash. Traditional methods, such as offline consultations, co-design workshops, and surveys, have facilitated architects and planners in understanding and engaging with communities. However, advancements in technology and online platforms have opened up new avenues for harnessing the collective intelligence of entire cities and communities in the urban planning and design process. The presence of strong democratic institutions, respect for human rights, and participatory accountable governance are essential for enhancing people's lives in a sustainable manner. In an increasingly urbanized world, these factors contribute to unlocking the potential of cities, particularly through improved urban service delivery. Well-managed cities with enhanced services promote peace, security, and greater investment in human capital, thereby driving economic growth. Municipal governments that possess adequate resources and are accountable are more likely to provide timely and efficient services. Collaborative efforts among different levels of government and civil society contribute to optimizing service delivery. Transparent, accountable, and democratic institutions play a vital role in facilitating community participation in demanding and designing improved service delivery. Various models have been developed to expand citizen engagement in urban management. Cities should strive for systemic changes in decision-making processes related to urban planning, incorporating deliberative and democratic procedures. This paper introduced a novel model for citizen participation in urban management. 

This study adopted a qualitative, interpretive, applied, and cross-sectional research design. The statistical population consisted of municipality managers, NGO managers, and urban scholars in Isfahan City. A total of 15 experts were selected from this population using the snowball sampling technique and were subsequently interviewed. The collected data were analyzed inductively using a content analysis approach. To ensure the reliability of the analysis, 5 interviews were randomly selected and subjected to thematic analysis once again. This process aimed to validate the findings.To further enhance the robustness of the results, a fuzzy Delphi method was employed, involving 10 municipality managers and 5 academicians. The participants were requested to evaluate the relevance and significance of the identified themes, aiming to achieve a fuzzy consensus. Their suggestions and feedback were incorporated into the final model, thereby strengthening the overall quality of the findings. 

The data for this study were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis. The analysis revealed 55 basic themes, 15 organizing themes, and 5 global themes. The content validity ratio, which exceeded the threshold of 60%, confirmed the validity of the results. Furthermore, the results of the fuzzy Delphi method, after defuzzification, indicated unanimous agreement among the experts, thus affirming the reliability of the findings.Based on the research outcomes, a spiral-fractal model for citizen participation in urban governance was proposed. The model comprised 5 key elements: citizens, cituards, citgentsia, citally, and cityors. Cituards were citizens, who demonstrated slightly higher levels of engagement than the average citizen. They actively monitored the city, provided reflections, and followed up on their suggestions. Citgentsia were individuals, who contributed novel ideas and offered original recommendations to benefit the city. When the ideas of the Citgentsia were put into practice, they were referred to as citally within this model. The final level of the spiral-fractal model was occupied by cityors, who were involved, either officially or unofficially, in the theoretical and practical dimensions of all aspects of urban management.

This research has been conducted to examine the role of environmental advertising (billboards and urban television) on the participation of citizens in the implementation of a blue sky and clean land. The theoretical foundations of this research are based on persuasion ideas, the theory of audience dependence, the Cohen socialization theory, the theory of cultural habits and the theory of highlighting, according to which, and finally, the theory of excellence and persuasion theories were presented collectively as the theory that the goals and The hypotheses and the research model are based on it. This research is a survey with the purpose of applying and using the method of researcher-made questionnaire. The questionnaires were distributed through cluster sampling method and distributed through the Cochran formula between 300 residents of Tehran, aged 18-60 years old, from five districts of north, south, east, west and center of Tehran. Cronbach's alpha test showed that the main indexes of this research have high reliability coefficients. The statistical techniques used are the frequency distribution table, columnar and circular graphs, central statistics and dispersion, correlation between variables, and bivariate regression, f test and t test, which was performed with SPSS software. The dependent variable is the citizenship participation research and the independent variable of that environmental advertisement. Findings show that highlighting, content and diversity of promotional messages affect citizen participation and have the greatest impact on the variable of message diversity. City billboards and televisions change the attitudes and insights of individuals and change their behavior according to the proposed pattern of clean blue sky.

Today, level of knowledge and awareness is one of the most effective factors in promoting the level of citizens' participation in different activities. Comprehensive, universal, and lifelong learning are concepts to be realized in a place that is commonly interpreted as a learning city. In this study, the dimensions and components of a learning city were firstly identified through examining the documentary sources and subsequently these dimensions and components were completed. Accordingly, three dimensions of the learning city, namely the context, space, and domain of learning, were worked out and through descriptive-analytic method and elite survey, the most important elements of each dimension were identified. In the next step, using a survey of 360 persons from the statistical population selected from the citizens of Qazvin the city, the relationship between these components and these citizens' social, economic, and scientific participation was examined. Using the Tao B. Kendall correlation test and SPSS software, our findings showed that there is a significant relationship between the two variables. These findings also indicated that social participation has a significant relationship with formal education, physical-psychological and political-institutional and economic contexts and learning contexts while economic participation has such a relationship with formal education, cultural and political-institutional contexts and lifelong learning. Also, scientific participation is significantly associated only with formal education and cultural, technological, and physical-psychological contexts.

Citizenship is important as one of the components of modern society. The purpose of this study was to describe a variety of citizenship behaviors between people in Tehran. It is also tried to analyze the dimensions and behaviors of citizenship based on demographic variables. The method of this study was A survey and its population was 15 years or more in 2017.The sampling method is multi-stage and the sample size is 2400 according to The cochran formula. A questionnair tool was used for data collection. The concept of active citizenship has been measured by four components: citizen participation, citizen responsibility, citizen socialization, and citizen identity.The results show that half of the people are active citizens (46%) and a quarter (26%) are passive citizens. The average active citizenship status is 3.36 (range 1 to 2). Also, the mean score for social participation was 2.9, social responsibility was 3.25, citizenship was 3.61, and 3.64 perceived citizenship. In fact, the level of citizenship participation is passive. On the contrary, the sense of citizenship identity shows the active state.Among all types of citizenship behaviors: neighborhood behaviors, community-based behaviors, traffic issues, and urban ethics indicate a favorable situation. On the other hand, there is the erosion of citizen participation norms.

In urban sociology, one of the recent responses to “the quality of future cities” is the idea of“creative cities”. The concept of the creative city has generally been used as a form of strategic planning. This idea, as stated in Landry and Florida’s views, is inevitably tied to widespread changes in the economic and social order. The “Creative City” is one of the theoretical efforts that describe and recommend the future of the world’s metropolises with an emphasis on creative class and creative economy. In this study, using the scenario planning based on critical uncertainties, we tested the question of what the future scenarios of Tehran are for creative development. In response, the two key uncertainties extracted, using the two-step Delphi Method, are “increase or decrease in the importance of citizen participation, social and cultural capital”, and “the development of new businesses or the existing industries”. The scenarios resulting from the intersection of these two uncertainties are “creative Tehran”, “industrial Tehran”, “unstable creativity”, and “turbulent Tehran”. To shape a creative city, the best scenario is the first one, “creative Tehran”, and the worst scenario is the last one, “turbulent Tehran”. In the latter scenario, the importance of citizens’ participation and the social and cultural capital not only is lost, but the environmental pollution and the social damage in Tehran will also be worsened by the development of existing industries.

Generally speaking, although citizens’ participation in the urban management has received increasing credit and attention since the 20th century, it is mainly a modern phenomenon. This study primarily aims to examine the key determinants associated with citizens’ participation in urban management. The results of this study are based on a survey that has been conducted in Amol City that includes a sample of 352 individuals. The results of this analysis show that the participation rate of the citizens in the urban management is below the medium level. Further, only the rate of social participation is fairly high, whereas the other aspects of participation including political, intellectual, financial and physical participations are below the medium level. Moreover, the results of logistic regression analyses show that citizens’ participation in the urban management is significantly associated with four key determinants: associative membership, knowledge, powerlessness, and socio-economic status.

Wastes separation and recycling are of the most important environmental and economic characteristics of a society. The key aim of this study is to examine socio-cultural determinants of participation in wastes separation. The research findings of this paper are based on a survey including 384 people aged 15-75 years old who have been selected on the basis of random and multistage cluster sampling methods.
According to the results of this analysis, the participation in wastes separation is significantly affected by these key determinants: citizenship responsibility, false beliefs, the usefulness of wastes separation, attitudes toward municipality, and attitudes towards environment. Moreover, multivariate results of this analysis show that these factors particularly citizenship responsibility and false beliefs have significant effects on the participation in wastes separation.

Nowadays, security has been among the basic needs of human gatherings and in urban planning the issue of women's security in urban places is considerably taken into consideration. The present study aimed at investigating women's security feeling and its related factors at Elgoli Park by interviewing 277 women older than 15 years old. The results revealed that the factors of atmosphere form, misleading environmental information, lighting, environmental pollution, access degree to public transportation services, quality of activities, use of the land around the park, and social factors of users such as age, occupation, and education are correlated with the security feeling of the women. Furthermore, the factor of lighting had the highest impact and the factors of activities and use of land had the lowest impact on the women's security feeling. Additionally, there was a significant relationship with 99 percent confidence correlation between the security feeling of women and factors of atmosphere form, misleading environmental information, lighting, environmental pollution, access to public transportation services, quality of activities, and the use of land around the park. Changing the plan of residential, commercial, and public places and creating environments to prevent crimes require management, planning, and manipulating the environment to reach a smart system. This, in turn, requires urban managers and planners to try to create suitable places that make it possible for all social groups to attend and consequently to create a safe city.

The concept of sustainable urban development is based on human-environment relationship and it considers the development of urban facilities with regard to environmental considerations, and social justice. With the development of urbanization, concepts related to sustainable development have entered into this area and the concept of sustainable urban development is the outcome of new views towards social, spatial and environmental justice as they regard the city. Social justice in urban environment relates to the preservation of the interest of different social groups by means of distribution of urban resources, revenues and costs. An issue surrounding environmental justice, emphasizing the close association it has with social justice, necessitates a need for social auditing of public institutions and organizations. In this study, four dimensions of perceived social justice, that is, economic individualism, needs, equality, and fairness are considered and its relation to resident's participation in development of Tabriz is analyzed. The main objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between perceived social justices with the degree of resident's participation in development of Tabriz. Accordingly the researcher used a questionnaire to collect the research data. The study sample included 384 residents of ten regions of Tabriz. Structural equation modeling with LISREL software was used to analyze the relationship between variables. Based on the findings, there is a direct relationship between the four dimensions of perceived social justice and the degree of resident's participation in the development of the city.

Citizenship participation is the main component in achieving the goals of sustainable development and good urban governance. So, the urban management of Tehran has applied two main approaches at the top of its programs; neighborhood orientation and transforming municipality from the service-only organization to the service – social institution. In this study, entitled “Cultural function of urban management in promotion of citizenship participation in administrating local affairs”, the effect of cultural activities of Tehran municipality on increasing citizenship participation was investigated.

To collect data researcher-made questionnaire was used and after examining its validity and reliability, 385 questionnaires, according to infinite population sampling, were distributed and collected among participants who were working in four “Settlement Houses” of Tehran municipality district 4.Data analysis was done by SPSS software. The results indicate that from the point of view of the citizens, who are provider and receiver of services of the mentioned settlement houses,the cultural activities of urban management in Tehran has a positive effect on enhancing “participation attitude”, “normalizing the participation”, “trust on municipality” and “creating an appropriate communication way”. Among the three indicators of the first hypothesis; “individual’s image of participation consequences”, “individual’s information about participation” and “an assessment of the consequences of participation” have had the highest effect on the variable “participation orientation”, respectively. The indicators of second hypothesis in order of influence on the variable “normalize the participation” are; “individual’s motivation to fulfill the expectations of others”, “individual’s image of judging others about participation” and “individual ‘s partnership records”. The indicators of third hypothesis in order of influence on the variable “trust on municipality” are; “changing negative mentality about municipality” and “satisfaction with the municipality”. The indicators of the fourth hypothesis in order of influence on the variable “establish the appropriate communication’s way” are; “sustainability”, “being bilateral”, “being institutional and pervasiveness.

Many individuals or social factors may affect a citizen’s participation, some of which are the aims of this article to investigate. The method used was survey and the population included all the heads of households in Mashhad. Samples of 182 respondents were selected by using multi stage, cluster sampling strategy. Results showed that the mean of citizen participation index was under the average. Citizen participation was directly correlated to the benefits of participation, socialization of citizen participation, social trust, sense of belonging to the city, and socio-economic status. Regression models as well as path analysis showed that the benefits of participation, socialization of citizen participation, and social trust were the most direct determinant factors, while the sense of belonging to the city and socio-economic status were the most indirect determinant factors in citizen participation. The authors concluded that citizen participation may be increased by enhancing benefits of participation, socialization of citizens into participation, and social trust. On the other hand, priority should be given to people in lower socio-economic status regions in citizen participation programs. It was also concluded that the sense of belonging should not be emphasized in the programs.
