Sociological study of the barriers to the realization of citizenship rights with an emphasis on kinship (Case Study: West Azerbaijan Province)

The aim of the present study is to investigate the sociological barriers to the realization of citizenship rights with emphasis on tribalism in the province of West Azerbaijan. The present study mainly uses the theories of Marshall, Faulks, Parsons, Giddens, and Castells.

This descriptive study was a descriptive survey that was carried out by cluster sampling and a researcher-made questionnaire on 384 citizens of West Azarbaijan province . To test the hypotheses, Pearson correlation coefficientanalysis of variance were used. Reliability of the questionnaire based on Cronbach's alpha (0.826 citizenship enforcement weakness, 0.87 0.73 kinship, 0.72 manorialism, 0.85 undeveloped civil society), and construct validity and factor analysis technique were used for validity.

Analysis of the data of this survey showed that there is a direct and significant relationship between kinship and its dimensions (tribalism and ethnicity), the dominance of master-slave system thinking and the immaturity of civil society with citizenship enforcement weakness. The difference in scores of weakness in the implementation of citizenship rights based on the socio-economic status of respondents is significant. Weaknesses in the implementation of citizenship rights are higher among respondents in dual-city counties than in urban residents with homogeneous population.
