One of the most prominent methods is the Urban good governance. On the other hand, On the base of principles and aims of good urban governance, governments cannot meet the needs of citizens and it is necessary to increase their responsiveness to new needs with rising flexibility and their capability by attracting active power in public institutions and involving citizens in decision-making process as a main beneficiaries. Therefore, this study investigates and evaluates Tehran’ s Urban management based on good urban governance theory and determines indexes that have most effect on governance process in Tehran Metropolis. Methods and Material In this paper, the research method is descriptive-analytical. The method of data collection and information is documentary and survey. For achieving this purpose, documentary and library methods have been used for theoretical framework of research and questionnaire, observation and interview were used for data collection in survey method. The Delphi method has also been used to evaluate Urban management in Tehran Metropolis based on Urban good governance indexes. The statistical sample of this research is citizens living in districts 1, 5, 15 and 16 of Tehran Metropolis. For achieving this purpose 400 questionnaires had completed by Tehran citizens. Acquired data were analyzed by SPSS software. Statistical test including T-Test and hierarchical multiple regression analysis has been used to analyze the collected data. Results and Discussion In order to investigate Urban good governance indexes in Tehran Metropolis (regions 1, 5, 15 and 16) at first, each of the eight indicators was measured by using one-sample T-test and eventually, single sample T-test was used to investigate the situation of the city in general. The results show that in citizen's point of view, Tehran’ s Urban management achieved appropriate situation in terms of responsibility, accountability, rule of law and effectiveness and efficiency indexes and in terms of participation, transparency, consensus oriented and equality has not appropriate situation. The second hypothesis of the research is to rank the indexes that affect the Urban good governance from the perspective of citizens. In other words, this hypothesis seeks to determine the importance of Urban good governance indicators by citizens in shaping urban governance in Urban management. A multivariable regression analysis method was used to investigate and determine these indices. Accordingly, the participation index (β = 0. 398), the rule of law (β = 276), responsibility index (β = 0. 242) and accountability index (β = 0. 225) are the most important indicators of Urban good governance in the study areas is from the citizen's point of view, and the indicators of justice-centred, efficiency and effectiveness, transparency and collective consensus are ranked next. Conclusions The results of the research show that the equity and equality indexes are considered as one of the most important indicators of Urban good governance and emphasizes that, in a Urban good governance, all groups and individuals of the urban community, in particular, vulnerable groups such as women and the poor people, and etc. have the right and equal opportunity to improve their welfare status, strive for the fair allocation of resources and urban facilities, and the participation of citizens in making comments and decisions. In addition, the results indicate that the accountability, accountability and legality indicators have a minimal difference. These results show that these indicators are in the middle position and most respondents have chosen the medium option in relation to these indicators and in some cases have had some positive attitudes to these indicators, which requires that urban officials and managers should consider more attention to these indicators with indicators that are negatively affected.
