        The sense of belonging to the city indicates the existence of a positive mentality of ‎individuals towards the place of residence and other citizens, and the continuity of ‎belonging to the city inevitably involves a form of commitment for citizens to the ‎surrounding social environment. Participation in the social life of the city has always been ‎an important issue in the field of urban sociology. Therefore, this article seeks to examine ‎the role of the sense of belonging to the city in the social participation of citizens in urban ‎management and to play a role in the practical way of establishing a lasting relationship ‎between citizens and the institution of urban management. Therefore, in a survey study ‎using stratified sampling and finally simple random sampling method, a sample of 334 ‎heads of households was selected and the data were analyzed using SPSS and Liserl ‎software. The results of the study show that the level of citizens' social participation ‎‎(2.04), civic participation (2), participatory spirit (1.92), trust in managers (2.01) and ‎The degree of feeling of belonging to the city is (2.46) are moderate. social factors are effective in social participation in city management and in ‎the test of structural equations, the relationships of these variables with the dependent ‎variable have been confirmed. the results indicate moderate social ‎participation of citizens, but due to immigration, mainly rural and intra-provincial, and ‎the combination of urban neighborhoods, it has the necessary potential for urban ‎management to benefit from the participatory capacities of citizens.‎ Manuscript profile

        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. Manuscript profile
