Abstract :
The purpose of this study is to explain the appropriate practical model for performance evaluation, and improve the efficiency of the new cities of Hashtgerd, Andisheh, Pardis, Parand. The present study is an applied research in terms of purpose (type of use). In terms of the method of conducting research in general, this research is a descriptive-analytical research. The statistical population of the study includes all residents of Pardis, Parand, Andisheh and Hashtgerd cities. The sample size based on Cochran's formula was 383 people for all 4 cities were selected by simple random sampling. Research tools include a 17-item questionnaire (transportation, telecommunications, water, sewage, electricity, housing, social, city general equipment, educational, economic, managerial, river and canal, green space, health, waste management, energy and facilities Gas). To evaluate the validity of the questionnaire from the point of view of 5 experts in the field of urban planning, its validity was examined several times, and also the validity of the structure based on confirmatory factor analysis was used. Cronbach's alpha was used for reliability, which is 0.83 and in good condition. In the data analysis section, with the help of spss22 and Amos software, the research questions were examined using structural equation modeling. The results show that the performance of different cities in different fields and services has been such that Hashtgerd city is in the first rank, Andisheh is in the second rank, Pardis is in the third rank, and Parand is in the last rank, based on the performance of the surrounding cities. The city of Tehran was neither higher than 0.65, and the two cities of Parand and Pardis were even below 0.50, which is a sign of weakness in this regard.Introduction: The creation of new cities, according to the purposes of their creation and the specific functions they had, has sometimes become a population hub, and sometimes they have acted so poorly that man has no desire to live in them. In different historical periods, cities with "different purposes" have been built in all parts of the world, which can be called new cities. In this context, Greek philosophers over the years have criticized the condition of human life and proposed their ideal cities. Aristotle and Plato spoke about self-reliance and optimal population size about new cities.The creation of new cities, according to the purposes of their creation and the specific functions they had, has sometimes become a population hub, and sometimes they have acted so poorly that man has no desire to live in them. Today, after more than two decades have passed since the beginning of this policy and the passing of forecasting periods, it is a good opportunity to evaluate the performance of these cities. After three decades have passed since the approval and implementation of this idea in Iran; The studies and evaluations done about the performance of new cities indicate the lack of success or low success of these cities. The expansion of urbanization and the concentration of facilities in big cities have forced people to live in these cities. However, this increase in population has caused insecurity, unemployment, air pollution and environment. New cities have been established in order to solve these problems and organize the population overflow. Examining the urban infrastructure of new cities will help to extract their strengths and weaknesses.Methodology:The statistical population of the study includes all residents of Pardis, Parand, Andisheh and Hashtgerd cities. The sample size based on Cochran's formula was 383 people for all 4 cities were selected by simple random sampling. Research tools include a 17-item questionnaire (transportation, telecommunications, water, sewage, electricity, housing, social, city general equipment, educational, economic, managerial, river and canal, green space, health, waste management, energy and facilities Gas). To evaluate the validity of the questionnaire from the point of view of 5 experts in the field of urban planning, its validity was examined several times, and also the validity of the structure based on confirmatory factor analysis was used. Cronbach's alpha was used for reliability, which is 0.83 and in good condition. In the data analysis section, with the help of spss22 and Amos software, the research questions were examined using structural equation modeling. By using the inferential analysis of structural equations, the performance of each city has been evaluated in the field of measures, services and the provision of various infrastructures, and the model of the final path of each city has been presented, and finally, each city has been compared based on the status of the path coefficient of each index. And the overall coefficient of each city is also presented, which shows its final status.Results and discussion: The purpose of this study is to explain the appropriate practical model for performance evaluation, and improve the efficiency of the new cities of Hashtgerd, Andisheh, Pardis, Parand. The present study is an applied research in terms of purpose (type of use). In terms of the method of conducting research in general, this research is a descriptive-analytical research.Conclusion:The results show that the performance of different cities in different fields and services has been such that Hashtgerd city is in the first rank, Andisheh is in the second rank, Pardis is in the third rank, and Parand is in the last rank, based on the performance of the surrounding cities. The city of Tehran was neither higher than 0.65, and the two cities of Parand and Pardis were even below 0.50, which is a sign of weakness in this regard.
