Abstract

Today, philosophical concepts such as the right to the city are taken into account in urban planning and they emphasize the access of all to city services and the creation of spatial justice. In the current research, the components affecting the right of the city have been identified. This research is presented in a descriptive-analytical method with a combined approach and selection of a combined method and basic data theory strategy. The statistical population of the research includes two quantitative and qualitative parts. The qualitative part includes texts from the field of urban planning and the quantitative part includes the opinions of planning system experts. The main variable of the research is the development of the model of the right to the city and dependent variables, the distribution of urban services and the production of space. According to the results, the ruling paradigm of urban plans, which is based on quantification with an emphasis on empiricism, has been one of the main obstacles to realizing the right to the city in Iran's urban plans. Cultural variables, economic conditions, political thought, governance and the right to the city are among the other influential variables of this research. The relationship between social conditions and the production of space and distribution of urban services has always been neglected. Therefore, the hypothesis of the existence of a relationship between the mentioned variables and the social variable is rejected and is not approved by the research.
