The analysis of citizen cooperation effects on urban management with the proper government approach( case study: Yasuj city)

Over recent decades, citizens' participation in modern society has attracted a great deal ofattention. Participation in urbanization is also proposed at different stages such as planning,design preparation, design implementation, and urban management and administration, and invarious forms such as participation in decision making, participation in financing, paying thecost of designs implementation, participation in provision of human resources, and involvementin design benefits. Various models have been presented in the modern urban management systemto eradicate the urban problems and challenges. Today, one of these models is considered as thedominant model of urban management and is the urban governance model. In this model, theresponsibility for public administration has been divided among three institutions: government,civil society, and private sector.

Considering research nature, the current research is an applied study. It wasconducted using descriptive-analytical method. The required data were collected through libraryresources, including taking note and using Internet, and via field study, including questionnaireand interview. The research statistical population consisted of citizens who are living in Yasujcity, managers, and urban affairs staffs. According to the modified Cochran formula, the requiredsample size for citizens and managers was calculated to be 383 and 20 persons, respectively.Additionally, in order to determine the rate of people participation in urban management, as wellas to determine the rate of urban managers' adherence to the principles of good governance, one-sample t-test was used.

Results obtained from describing the characteristics of individuals in the statistical populationshow that most of the respondents among citizens were in the age range of 25-35 years andamong managers were in the age range of 35-45years. Of the whole respondent sample forcitizens, 81.1% were male and 18.9% were female, and of the whole respondent sample formanagers, 96% were male and 4% were female. The average dimension of these individuals'household is 3.4 and 2.9 for citizens and managers, respectively.

The results of the research show that the rate of citizens' participation in the city's managementaffairs is at a very good level such that of the 16 investigated components, the citizens andmanagers have only estimated the citizens' participation in the urban management affairs to be atmoderate level in five components. They estimated other components to be at strong level.Results show that of the 22 investigated components, 2 components were evaluated to be at weaklevel, 9 components were evaluated to be at moderate level, and 11 components were evaluatedto be at strong level.Several models have been proposed in urban modern management tosolve city problems and challenges.
