مدل سازی رویکرد حق به شهر در فضای شهری در شهر یزد.

Aims In recent years, urban challenges have emerged alongside increasing civic demands, prompting discussions around the concept of “the right to the city.” Contemporary social and political transformations, including capitalist dominance and the rise of urban social movements, have led to evolving interpretations of this right. Therefore, the present study seeks to conceptualize and model the approach to the right to the city within the urban context, focusing on Yazd city as a case study. Methodology This research employed a descriptive-analytical method and was categorized as applied research. Data collection involved both documentary review and fieldwork approaches. The statistical population comprised 515,659 citizens of Yazd, with a sample size of 325 determined using Cochran’s formula. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS 26 software, the t-test, structural modeling, and AMOS 26 software. Findings The t-test results indicated that the examined components of the right to the city (namely control and ownership, urban vitality, and citizen participation) were in a suboptimal state, falling below the standard level. Pearson’s correlation test revealed a positive and significant relationship among all dimensions of the study parameters. Moreover, structural model analysis identified the citizen participation index as the most influential factor in advancing the right to the city approach compared to other components. Conclusion The core components of the right to the city (control and ownership, urban vitality, and citizen participation) are in a generally unfavorable condition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
