Abstract

Aims & Backgrounds Informal settlement is one of the most important urban problems that reduces the level of quality and quantity of life. So far, different ways of organizing informal settlements have been presented, but the empowerment strategy has a high status in order to reduce physical, economic and social inequalities in the world. Among the solutions to the complex problems of these settlements, the presence of representatives of Non-governmental Organizations and Community Based Organization are as a communication link between the government and residents in empowering informal settlements to carry out actions in the cultural and social fields. The study intends to answer the question of how non-governmental organizations and Community Based Organization play a role in the social empowerment of informal settlements. The case study is the old road of Quchan which is one of the identified area of informal settlements in Mashhad and is located in the northwest. Methodology This qualitative research is based on Grounded theory which is conducted in 2018 among members of non-governmental institutions and local communities located in the old road of Quchan. Eleven semi-structured interviews were conducted with active members until saturation occured. Findings In open coding stage of data analysis, 403 raw data, 20 concept, and 7 categories were obtained. Three categories including social trust to organizations, limitations of organization income and limitad workability of organizations were selected as a central phenomenon. Conclusion In general, it can be said that the Non-governmental Organizations have a high tendency towards social trust and acceptance, but they are not legally recognized due to economic and financial problems, the inability to provide the costs of the local problems, solve the needs of the residents and empower the neighborhoods, so their demands are not recognized too.
