Abstract :

Today, the first and most important limitation to solving the growing urban problems and inefficiency of service delivery, especially in developing countries including Iran, is the lack of citizen participation in urban management and planning, which ultimately leads to the failure of the predicted urban landscape and citizen dissatisfaction. Identifying effective indicators in the productivity of municipalities based on good governance can help achieve this goal. The research method in this study is a mixed exploratory (qualitative-quantitative) method. Thematic analysis method has been used in this research. After coding the indicators and removing incomplete and irrelevant codes, 161 selective codes (indicators) were obtained. After repeatedly defining and revising the main and sub-themes, 13 sub-themes and 5 main themes were presented in the final form. Finally, the qualitative data was carefully reviewed through semi-structured interviews by 20 academic experts. The result of this study led to a reduction in the number of selective codes from 161 to 78 codes, and there was no change in the main and sub-themes. The results obtained indicate that productivity based on good governance is  of a set of factors Includes, management structure (efficiency and effectiveness, strategic vision and flexibility), participation (participation and consensus building), rule of law (rule of law and political stability and non-violence), legal structure (justice, curbing corruption and transparency), and evaluation and accountability (accountability, performance evaluation and accountability).
