مشارکت شهروندان در مدیریت شهری و تبیین تعیین کننده های آن نمونه مورد مطالعه: شهر ایلام

مشارکت شهروندان در امور مختلف فضاهای شهری یکی از مهم ترین ارکان دستیابی به توسعه پایدار شهری بوده و رسیدن به سطح قابل قبولی از آن، از مهم ترین دغدغه های سیاست گذاران و برنامه ریزان شهری است. در راستای نیل به توسعه پایدار شهر ایلام ( به عنوان یکی از شهرهای مرزی ایران ) بررسی وضعیت مشارکت شهروندان در مدیریت شهری از اهمیت و جایگاه ویژه ای برخوردار است. هدف اصلی پژوهش حاضر بررسی وضعیت مشارکت شهروندان در مدیریت شهری و شناسایی تعیین کننده های آن در شهر ایلام است. جامعه آماری پژوهش حاضر شامل 194 هزار و 30 نفر از شهروندان ایلامی بوده که از میان آنها، با استفاده از فرمول کوکران 384 نفر به عنوان نمونه آماری انتخاب و مورد مطالعه قرار گرفته اند. ابزار مورد استفاده در این پژوهش شامل پرسشنامه محقق ساخته ای است که روایی آن به صورت محتوایی (صوری) و سازه ای و پایایی آن با استفاده از پایایی ترکیبی مورد تایید قرار گرفت. تحلیل داده ها از طریق تحلیل همبستگی و الگویابی معادلات ساختاری و با استفاده از نرم افزارهای  spss و smart pls  انجام شده است. نتایج اولیه ارزیابی مدل مورد مطالعه در این پژوهش نشان داد، مدل از شاخص های برازندگی قابل قبولی برخوردار است. نتایج آزمون بررسی میانگین نشان داد، سطح مشارکت شهروندان در محدوده مورد مطالعه با میانگین 2.62، پایین تر از حد متوسط قرار دارد. همچنین مدل سازی معادلات ساختاری نشان داد، متغیرهای کیفیت زندگی (0.35= γ، 9.22 = t)، رضایت از عملکرد مدیران شهری (0.05= γ، 2.62 = t)، سرمایه اجتماعی (0.075-= γ، 2.44 = t)، رضایت شغلی (0.131= γ، 3.59 = t)، حکمروایی خوب شهری (0.372= γ، 11.81 = t) و تعلق مکانی (0.163= γ، 5.47 = t) تبیین کننده 75.8 درصد از تغییرات واریانس مشارکت شهروندان در مدیریت شهری هستند.

citizen participation in urban management and identifying its economic and social determinants, ilam

introductioncitizens’ participation in various matters of urban spaces is one of the most important issues in achievement of sustainable urban development, an acceptable level of which is one of the most significant concerns of policy makers and urban planners. for achievement of sustainable development in ilam, a border city in iran, it is of particular importance to investigate the status of citizen participation in urban management and identify the factors affecting the level thereof, which makes up the main purpose of this study.theoretical frameworkliving in a democratic society requires people to play an active role in various aspects of their lives (predescu & darjan, 2010: 3241). citizen participation is of great importance in systems claiming democracy (ginieniewicz, 2007: 328) and is vital for any democratic society, and democracy can be developed only through involved, informed citizens. in addition, it is important to have citizens ready to take responsibility for changing the reality of today’s world (manganelli et al., 2012: 1476). for this reason, public participation is seen today as a new strategy in development (khajeh shahkoohi et al., 2015: 4). an inductive look at the existing patterns of participation in the world indicates that they can be classified according to three different criteria: the type of participation (1- decision-making, 2- financing, and 3- manpower), the field of participation in activities (1- construction, 2- environment, 3- ensuring city safety, 4- monitoring, 5- municipal services, and 6- social welfare), and the type of organization (1- spontaneous, self-motivated organizations and 2- formal, motivated organizations). of course, it is also possible to classify participation patterns based on the activity to perform which the participation is made (rezaei and asyabani, 2018: 146). in a general conclusion, it can be stated that citizen participation in urban management involves different aspects and a particular position in the issue of sustainable urban development. however, different factors affect the level of citizen participation in urban management, which can vary by urban space.methodologythis is a descriptive-correlational applied quantitative study using the analysis of covariance-variance among correlation methods. the research area is ilam, and the research population includes 194030 citizens of the city who are over 18 years old. 383 citizens were selected based on cochran’s formula using stratified random sampling. in addition to documentary studies, the main research tool for data collection was a researcher-made questionnaire. it should be noted that the design of the questionnaire used to measure citizen participation in urban management was based on the works by amirahmadi et al. (2016) and meymandi parizi (2017). the validity of the research tool was evaluated and confirmed through consultation of experts and university teachers (face validity) and also using convergence. combined reliability coefficients (greater than 0.7) and cronbach’s alpha (greater than 0.7) were used to measure reliability. the two methods of descriptive statistics (frequency, frequency percentage, mean, and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (correlation analysis and structural equation modeling) were used to analyze the data. it should be noted that one statistical method used in the field of structural equation modeling is partial least squares, calling for the use of relevant software such as spss and smartpls to analyze the data.results and discussionthe results of the structural model analysis demonstrated that the variable of satisfaction with the performance of urban managers exhibited a significant effect on other independent variables. thus, it had the greatest impact on the variables of proper urban governance (with an impact factor of 0.275), job satisfaction (with an impact factor of 0.262), and social capital (with an impact factor of 0.255).
