Abstract :
New approaches on informal settlements show that there is a reduction in technical and physical aspects as well as increase in environmental, social and human aspects , Gradually and impressed from theoretical perspectives such as enabling and revision on the governments' role in providing housing and services. On this basis, settlements by low-income people is built regarded as a part of the capital city society which must be proceeded to manage and regularize such settlements via participatory planning with emphasis on their participation to understand priorities and practices. Although it has been talked about participation so much in Urban Planning literature and Informal settlements plans; but effective solutions for building motivation of public involvement in process of preparation and implementation of plans are yet ambiguous and insufficient. As a result, most of developing countries are not able to apply participation in their plans; and as a consequence, physical and intellectual capitals are thrown away. This research struggles to identify the obstacles of citizens’ participation in Squatter Settlements upgrading Plans upon psycho-sociological theories and assess suitable solutions in framework of these theories. It is expected that using effective tools for participation motivation building, makes involvement of residents in improvement their settlement possible.
