 Today, the issue of providing financial resources is important for municipalities all over the world, including Iran. These sources of income are influenced by macroeconomic conditions. This means that, in the economic recession, they decrease and city managers can not fulfill their duties. The financing methods required by municipalities in all parts of the world are direct sale of services, local taxes, use of government aid and issuance of bonds. But, the importance of these sources of revenue is different for big and even small cities in Iran. That is, the share of these resources from the total revenue of municipalities in a city like Tehran is low, and about 60-70% of the revenue sources of municipalities are related to housing.This dependence of the income of municipalities on their housing sector has become a serious challenge, because in times of recession in the housing sector, the income of municipalities decreases. Therefore, during the past decades, Tehran Municipality provides a discount for urban development fees during the recession. Now, the basic question of this study is that the urbaning permit fee have an effect on the private sector's investment in housing in Tehran.

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK:

 The theoretical analysis of investment in the housing sector is based on conventional investment theories in macroeconomics. Two important investment theories are discussed: the theory of the principle of acceleration (which itself is divided into two models of fixed acceleration and flexible acceleration model) related to the classics and the final efficiency theory of investment related to John Maynard Keynes. Acceleration pattern theory is based on the concept that changes in sales or income cause an increase in total investment. But Keynes believed that the amount of investment depends on the final efficiency of capital and interest rate. The relationship between investment and capital efficiency and interest rate is inverse. Both theories are used in this study.

  In this study, an attempt is made to investigate the impact of urban development complications (permit issuance complications) on private sector investment in Tehran city housing. To do this, the Auto Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) was used, and the data obtained from the Central Bank of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the statistics of the Tehran municipality for the years 2010-2018. In this model, the dependent variable is influenced by the lag of the dependent variable itself and other independent variables. It should be noted that in order to investigate the long-term and short-term relationships between the dependent variable and other explanatory variables, collective methods such as the Engel-Granger method and ECM error correction models have been used.

The long-term model estimation results show that the coefficients of two macro-economic variables, i.e. GDP and liquidity, are positive and significant. The interest rate of bank deposits has a negative effect (according to common theories), but it is insignificant. The price of coins, as a competitor for housing, has a negative and significant effect, which is consistent with the initial expectation as well as previous studies. The total index of Tehran Stock Exchange has a positive and significant relationship with investment in the housing sector. Finally, the building permit fee do not have a significant impact on private sector investment. This shows that the reduction of building permit fee does not affect the motivation of private sector investors in Tehran housing in the long term.

CONCLUSIONS & SUGGESTIONS:

 The long-term pattern shows that building permit fees do not have a significant effect on private sector investment in Tehran housing. This means that the discount in building permit fees may create sources of revenue for Tehran Municipality in the short term, but it has no effect in the long term. Other results of this model have shown that Tehran, macroeconomic variables such as GDP, liquidity and stock market index have a positive and significant effect on private sector investment in Tehran city housing. This means that the growth of national production will cause the growth of all economic sectors, including housing, and this will provide the necessary ground for the development of investment for the private sector. In addition, the increase in liquidity allows more resources to be transferred to the housing sector. Also, considering the large number of large construction companies in the stock market and providing financial resources from this market, the growth of the market has a positive and significant effect on investment in the housing sector of Tehran. The interest rate of bank deposits also has a negative but insignificant effect on investment in the housing sector, which can be caused by the high inflation in Iran's economy. Finally, coin price has a negative relationship with housing investment.Therefore, according to our results, it is suggested that Tehran Municipality stop applying discounts on urbaning permit fees and seek to identify sources of revenue and new methods of financing or use the items such as renovation fees, waste, business and trade, advertising boards and instruments available in the financial markets.

The main purpose of this article is to present the revenue financing model in Tehran municipality.A combined method with the priority of the qualitative stage over the quantitative has been used. In the qualitative approach, in order to meet the objectives of the research, interviews were conducted with 15 experts on the subject and by correcting the indicators identified from the qualitative content analysis of the interviews, the Delphi method was used. The data was determined using SPSS 22 and Lisrel 8.5 software and the confirmatory factor analysis technique for the analysis and weight of the variables.The findings show that seven dimensions of justice, transparency, local independence, thrift, income adequacy, sustainability and practicality, non-shifting of the tax base were extracted for the revenue financing model. The indicators of these dimensions include charges on official documents, charges on added value, charges on buildings and lands, charges on communications and transportation, charges on professional business licenses, charges on parking, charges on centralized collection, charges on property. Real estates are income from municipal services. Experts have a positive consensus about the proposed dimensions of this research.The results of this research can help the municipality of Tehran metropolis in advancing the goals of financing and making use of existing financial resources, which is one of the most important concerns of that organization, and this synergy and participation leads to the satisfaction of citizens.

One of the most critical aspects of alignment in the organization is the alignment between strategic plans and budget. The need to create a meaningful relationship between policies, strategic plans, and budgets in public institutions has been in the spotlight and recognized for a long time. This means that merely formulating medium and long-term plans for managing public institutions in an environment with changing political, economic, and legal considerations is not enough. Instead, the mentioned planning should be reflected in the process of setting and implementing the budget. Municipalities, as one of the largest institutions in the public sector, are not exempt from this rule because if the limited resources of the municipalities are allocated in a non-optimal way, in addition to the waste of resources, it will lead to increased monitoring costs, non-fulfillment of municipal plans and missions, and finally public criticism and protests. Therefore, it is expected that the alignment of strategic planning and budgeting will be a central issue in the focus of urban management. But in practice, it can be seen that the budget is prepared without considering the strategic plan and operational plans. Also, there is no administrative structure to create a logical relationship between them, which increases the pessimism of the organization about the plans and causes a gap between the plans and budgets. Therefore, the present study aims to investigate the reasons for the misalignment of planning and budgeting in the Tehran municipality. In most developing countries, the government or municipalities prepare a medium-term development plan that specifies the country's strategic priorities and main goals for a period of three to five years. However, this work is often done independently of the annual budget process and usually leads to the creation of a list of plans and activities that cannot be realistically achieved due to the government's financial issues and problems. Therefore, the programs become an academic exercise instead of an effective tool to promote socio-economic development. In Iranian municipalities, despite the emphasis on the alignment of the planning and the budget in the upstream laws, the budget has always been criticized for not matching the framework of long-term plans. The lack of alignment has challenged the efficiency and effectiveness of the budgeting and resource allocation system. Also, it has created many doubts regarding the effectiveness of Tehran's municipal plans in the minds of citizens, members of the city's Islamic Council, and city planners. If the current situation continues, this gap will increase. This problem in the Tehran municipality has many dimensions and complicated issues, and this research has tried to look at these issues with a real and comprehensive view. Finally, the alignment model of the planning and budgeting of the Tehran municipality has been presented.

This survey is a practical one regarding its aim, and it is done by descriptive-analytic method, and it has no hypothesis. Also, information has been collected in both library and field forms. According to the problematic situation of the research and its characteristics, the research problem is unstructured. This type of problem cannot be solved by classical methods and formulating limits and goals. Therefore, the soft system approach is used to solve the problem. Due to the complexity of the research, the model was designed based on soft system methodology and cognitive mapping in the form of a qualitative study with a descriptive-exploratory approach. The study population includes all stakeholders and parties involved in the issue of planning and budgeting in the Tehran Municipality, which consists of a wide range of institutions and internal departments of Tehran Municipality. Twenty-five experts were interviewed using the snowball method to select the samples, and the interview process continued until the theoretical saturation was reached. Finally, a mental map of each of them was drawn, and by combining these maps, an enriched image of the research problem was created. The CATWOE approach was used to explain the root definitions, and the conceptual model of activities was extracted based on the root definitions.

According to the results, misalignment of planning and budgets is not only a technical issue; somewhat, it is influenced by internal and external factors such as weakness in support rules, budgeting system, planning structure, monitoring mechanisms, financial and accounting, infrastructure requirements, and coordination among the stakeholders, etc. In this regard, 11 targeted activities and corresponding measures related to each of them have been proposed to align the planning and budgeting of the Tehran Municipality.Also, according to the investigations and the research results, the issues related to the non-alignment of the program and the budget are complex and intertwined issues rooted in more significant issues. In a general classification, most of the problems resulting from the lack of alignment of the program and budget in the Tehran Municipality are of the managerial and infrastructure type. Still, the importance and extent of the impact of extra-organizational issues cannot be ignored either. The lack of an urban unit management system, the lack of legal support for the plan, and the insufficient monitoring of the institutions mentioned above on the municipal plan and budget are such issues that have affected the formulation and implementation of the Tehran Municipality plan. Furthermore, the results of the research showed that there are many internal organizational issues, such as lack of reform of laws, lack of reform of the budgeting system, lack of reform of the plan structure, lack of reform of council mechanisms, financial and accounting problems, lack of monitoring of the plan and budget. The lack of infrastructural requirements has also caused a misalignment of the plans and funding in the Tehran Municipality. Therefore, until a fundamental solution to solve these problems is not presented and implemented, and the necessary infrastructure is not provided to meet the requirements mentioned in this research, the alignment of the plans and budget in the Tehran municipality will remain a dream. Also, the participation and consensus of all elements related to the planning and budgeting of the city of Tehran to solve these problems are one of the main drivers of solving the problem of the misalignment between the plans and the budget in the Tehran Municipality.
