Abstract

Objectives: The main objective of the paper is analyzing of CITY COUNCIL ELECTION PROPAGANDA for exploration of the main values, components and means for URBAN GOVERNANCE from the viewpoints of candidates and after the ELECTION from the viewpoints of voters. Development theories like Modernization and Dependency have stressed on the importance of cities in developing process, however from different view points. Tehran as the capital of I.R. of Iran experienced a rapid growth from 1950s and now has about 8 million inhabitants. Tehran has a critical role in country's main political, economical and social events. So it is very important for urban and political sociology to understanding the key values and components of the capital's URBAN GOVERNANCE. The paper asked three main questions:What goals and slogans were in political groups and individuals PROPAGANDA who took part in the third Tehran CITY COUNCIL ELECTION?Which URBAN GOVERNANCE models can be finding in the ELECTION PROPAGANDA?Which model or models elected by voters after the ELECTION?The paper briefly described four main URBAN GOVERNANCE models based on Jon Pierre theory. They are managerial, progrowth, corporatist and welfare models of URBAN GOVERNANCE. Governance refers to the process through which local authorities, in concert with private interests, seek to enhance collective goals. It is a process shaped by those systems of political, economic, and social values from which the urban regime derives its legitimacy. The models should be seen as ideal types rather than empirically precise accounts of URBAN GOVERNANCE in different countries, locales, and policy sectors.Method: This is a descriptive study and its data has been gathered from campaign documents all 1200 candidates for Tehran third CITY COUNCIL ELECTION. We sampled from 443 candidates and political groups documents. The data analyzed by content analysis method.Findings: The content of all most PROPAGANDA matches with welfare URBAN GOVERNANCE model. The ELECTION result also shows most of voters voted for that model. About half of our sample candidates (46/5 %) didn't have goals in their PROPAGANDA. About one third or 33/9% of the candidates pointed to the welfare goals, 11/5 % to the progrowth goals and 8/1 % to the managerial goals. If we consider the candidates slogans we find that the welfare slogans are in the first place by 64/5 % of all slogans. The progrowth slogans with 20/8 % and managerial slogans with 14/7% are in second and third places. Political groups have the same situation. 6 groups didn't have any goals in their PROPAGANDA, 18 groups had welfare goals, 8 groups had progrowth goals, and 4 groups had managerial goals. Among the 36 political groups who were in our sample, 6 groups or 16/6 % didn't have any slogans. The other groups who had slogans in their advertisement, the first place was for welfare slogans with 106 cases or 62/7 % of all cases. The second and third places were for progrowth slogans with 21/8 % and managerial slogans with 15/3 %. Among the 15 candidates who won the Tehran CITY COUNCIL seats except two persons, 11 persons had welfare goals and 1 person had progrowth goals. The welfare goals were the key components of ELECTION plans of three political groups, namely Islamic reformist, Islamic moderate radical and Islamic radical who won the political campaign.Results: The resources for URBAN GOVERNANCE in welfare model come from the state so it can be reduce the independence of CITY COUNCIL and its' potentials for influencing urban management. The main influx of capital into the economy comes through the welfare system, placing the city in an especially delicate dependency toward the state. Given this dependency on central government spending, this governance model includes the state to the largest extent possible, as a provider or as an enabler or both. The urban political leadership puts great reliance on the state to provide compensatory programs to the city.
