Evaluating the Effectiveness of Local Management with Emphasizing on the Good Urban Governance Indicators

The policies and rules based on which cities are governed are influenced by legal and political discourses and can cause political and party conflicts. In the field of legal frameworks, ambiguities governing citizenship rights and planning tend to create inequality, and governance is necessary to ensure stable governance in the process of good urban management. In terms of purpose, this research is of an applied type, which was carried out by descriptive-analytical method and based on library studies and field investigations in the framework of the analytical-case model. Survey techniques, questionnaire tools, and interviews with the Delphi community have been used. The statistical sample size using the available sampling was 27 experts with the purposeful sampling method. In order to analyze the data, SPSS software was used, and Smart PLS software was used to model the structural equations with the partial least squares approach to evaluate the conceptual model of the research. Also, the future research method has been used to explain the key drivers and future scenarios using the structural and cross analysis method. The results of the analysis of the path coefficients related to the studied dimensions show that the justice index has the highest effect, followed by the indicators of responsibility, consensus-oriented, transparency, participation, efficiency and effectiveness, legality, and then accountability, which have the least effect on the urban management structure of Region 20. In the second part, by identifying and analyzing the effective drivers and compiling possible scenarios, from the total of 237 situations governing the scenario page, 132 situations and 55.70% are favorable situations, 64 situations and 27% are in static mode and 41 situations and 17.30% shows the percentage of the critical situation. According to the findings, among the 15 plausible scenarios for the good governance of Shahr-e-Rey, there are 9 scenarios with a favorable situation, which show relatively promising conditions at the local management level.
