The appropriate urban governance approach is one of the newest and at the same time most reliable approaches to urban management. This new approach in urban historical contexts has a multidimensional function in terms of improving the conditions of historical contexts because it will lead to the preservation of urban identity, improving the appearance and urban landscape, and ultimately increasing citizen satisfaction. The cultural-historical municipality of Tabriz Region 8 is one of the most historic urban areas among all cities in Iran that has not been studied from the perspective of optimal urban governance. The historical region of Tabriz is 8. The nature of the research is applied research that has been done descriptively-analytically and inferentially. The statistical population of the study consists of residents of District 8 and academic experts. The sample size was 377 people who were selected by simple random sampling. The reliability of the questionnaire was 0.901. The research findings were analyzed using Pearson, regression, and ANOVA statistical tests as well as neighborhood prioritization using the Vikor method. Findings showed that the 15 variables were able to explain 89.6% of the variance changes related to optimal urban governance. Also, the results of the ANOVA test show that there is a significant difference between the seven neighborhoods in terms of desirable governance indicators. Finally, the results of the Vikor test showed that Bazaar, Shahnaz, Mansour, Daneshsara, Maghsoudiyeh, Tepli Bagh-Damascus, and Qarabagh-Balahamam neighborhoods are in the first to seventh ranks, respectively. Finally, according to the research findings, practical suggestions were presented.

Viability refers to an urban system in which the social, physical, and mental health and quality of life of all its inhabitants are taken into consideration. On the other hand، the issue of citizen participation in the economic and social development of cities, has been considered in urban development studies and planning since several decades. Therefore, it will be a livable society that cares about the needs of the people of that society, respects their demands, and does not neglect the participation of citizens in the affairs of the city. The purpose of this article is to identify the relationship between social participation as one of the components of social capital and urban livability. To achieve this goal, a descriptive-analytical survey method has been used and to collect information, a researcher-made questionnaire has been applied. To analyze the research data, SPSS، GIS، super decision software has been used. The statistical population includes citizens of the five regions of Zahedan that 383 residents have been selected and studied by cluster sampling with systematic random sampling. The results of ranking the regions in livability indicators show that region 1 as a new region with a proportional distribution of land use and urban services، adequate access to educational and health services، security and urban environment is a relatively desirable region in Zahedan and region 3 with informal and turbulent housing texture is the most undesirable region in terms of social livability. The results of Pearson correlation coefficient test show high correlation between the components of social participation and the dimensions of social viability in the areas of Zahedan; this indicates that the more social participation among the citizens of Zahedan, the better the city is in terms of social viability.
