Abstract

Achieving URBAN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT without participation of citizens is very difficult. The main purpose of this paper is to explore the factors which affect citizen's participation in urban affairs management. The Method used in this research is a synthetic one including secondary data analysis and survey analysis methods. In data gathering, we made use of articles, documents and questionnaires, and the areas of this study are some selected areas of SABZEVAR city in 2011. Statistical society of research is 4578 families, and the Sample size is 229 families that were chosen by random sampling. Reliability coefficient for all items was 0.89 and for all dimensions was more than 0.72 except for the sense of social security dimension. Variables in this research included age, years of residence in the city/neighborhood, education, ownership of residential house, citizen's participation in city affairs management, social interactions, and the citizens’ opinion about social security, and LIFE SATISFACTION. The results shows that there are significant relationships between two variable including ownership of residential house and years of residence in city/neighborhood as the independent variable and citizen's participation in urban affair as dependent variable. Furthermore, between citizen's participation in urban affair as the independent variable and social interactions, sense of social security, sense of place and LIFE SATISFACTION as the dependent variable there are significant relationships too. However, there is not significant relationship between age of respondents and their participation in urban affairs management. Meanwhile, the findings of this research indicated that the increase of citizen's participation in managing urban affairs has a positive impact on their satisfaction of life. Training students and adolescents in schools about the usefulness of participation on urban affairs, creation of council in neighborhoods and improvement and gradation of urban culture among citizens were proposed for better participation of citizens in urban management.
