Abstract

Problem: The environmental problems of the cities in the 21st century have caused instability in urban environments. Since the consequences of many human relationships with the environment and natural ecosystem have appeared nonlinearly, their cumulative effects can lead to the irreversibility of equilibrium conditions. Therefore, we must think of a solution as soon as possible to maintain survival and increase the stability and the balance of urban environments. Many different approaches have been proposed to achieve urban balance and sustainability, one of which is called ‘ecological city’. Research objectives: The purpose of this study was to identify and analyze the effective factors in achieving an ecological city in the city of Dorcheh. Research method: The present study was an applied research based on a descriptive-analytical method and a quantitative research in terms of paradigm. The data collection was done via a documentary method by using a questionnaire. The statistical population included the citizens of Dorcheh City, who were more the 15 years old. The number of the citizens was 37367 in 2017, of whom 375 people were selected by cluster sampling. The validity of the questionnaire was formally confirmed by the urbanization experts from the perspective of urban planning and its reliability was corroborated by Cronbach's alpha coefficient of more than 0. 7. Finally, SPSS software was used for analyzing the data. Results: The results of this study indicated that there were unity and relative homogeneity between the neighborhoods of Dorcheh City based on the ecological city indicators. Among the indicators used for Dorcheh City, environmental index provided a better situation for achieving an ecological city. There was also a significant difference between the citizens' willingness index and current status index. The citizens showed a high desire to create an ecological city. Innovation: The most important innovation of this research was that it addressed the issue of the indigenous model of an ecological city and paid special attention to the role of citizen participation to realize the mentioned approach.
