Abstract :
Urban regeneration projects, especially in dis-functioned textures, face many bottlenecks, and one of the most important reasons is the lack of funding and the slow implementation process. Few successful projects show that constructive interaction between the people and the government can solve this problem. To this end, great emphasis is placed on people's participation. But trying to persuade people to attend has not been very successful. For this reason, it is necessary to pursue the reasons for this problem and the areas for encouraging people to participate. For this purpose, the current research was conducted on the effective factors of people's participation in the regeneration of disfunctional textures in Mashhad. The research method was descriptive and analytical and a researcher-made questionnaire was used to collect data. The required data were collected from 900 citizens living in urban dysfunctional contexts. The determined samples were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling. Data were evaluated using correlation coefficient, one-sample t-test, Friedman test, structural equations and path analysis. The results showed that social participation and all its four dimensions (tendency to social order, sense of responsibility, sense of security and mobilization of groups) had an effect on the presence and participation of residents in recreation and the designed model has a suitable fit. According to the designed model and determining the effect of each factor in different dimensions of regeneration, this process can be followed more quickly.
