Analysis of the concept of citizenship based on cul - tural policies

This research with exploratory-descriptive nature seeks a model for understanding the concept of citizenship. The mixed (quantita- tive-qualitative) method has been used in data collection and infor- mation processing. First, by studying the existing theoretical litera- ture, the basic conceptual model of “citizenship” is extracted, then based on the themes and using the method of content analysis of the country’s cultural policies in documents such as the constitution, the first to sixth economic, social and cultural development programs. J.A.A., Charter of Citizenship Rights ... The existing model of citi- zenship was obtained and in order to ensure the fit of the model, it was approved by a sample of thirty elites of university centers who were selected by non-probability sampling and purposefully. A ques- tionnaire was used at this stage. Pls software is used in this step. The model of citizenship based on cultural policies, which was ob- tained in two dimensions of citizenship rights and citizenship re- sponsibilities and 10 components in 55 indicators, is used as a basis for judging the state of citizenship in society based on the results of frequency distribution of citizenship dimensions. Obviously, any im- balance between the two dimensions of right and responsibility of citizenship will leave its mark. This claim does not mean not accept- ing the intertwining of these two dimensions, but merely a separation to know more about the status of citizenship in society. Based on this model, one of the most important findings was that the results of frequency distribution of citizenship dimensions in the first to sixth development plans indicate a higher frequency of salaries of 61.36 percent compared to the dimension of citizenship responsibili- ties with 38.64 percent. This means that the general guidelines, which are at the helm of future changes in citizenship and citizenship, see citizenship as a right rather than a duty and responsibility. Thus, cit- izens as important actors in this field are deprived of responsibility and most of the government in the position of guardian is responsible for ensuring citizenship rights.
