Abstract

Living in the city creates rights and duties for citizens, which is natural for citizens to imagine the right to the city in accordance with the duties that the law has set for them, in order to achieve an ideal life. However, this issue is not realized to a large extent in small cities, which are referred to as raw cities. The present research was carried out with the aim of spatial analysis of the realization of the idea of the right to the city in small towns in the western cities of Mazandaran province. In terms of goals, this research is among applied research and the method of collecting information includes library (document) and field methods including questionnaires and field observations. The statistical population in this research consists of citizens of the three studied cities and urban experts. Considering the size of the population of three cities, which according to the census of 2015 is equal to 7240 people (including 970 people in Balade, 3120 people in Kajur and 3150 people in Pul), based on Cochran's formula, 365 samples have been chosen and by sample method Classified random sampling has been distributed and collected among citizens. In addition, data analysis was done in the form of Friedman and one-sample t tests in spss software, and Arc GIS and Arc Map were also used to draw the map. After examining the status of all aspects of the realization of the right to the city in the western cities of Mazandaran province through a one-sample T-test, it is concluded that all the dimensions of the realization of the right to the city (including socio-cultural, economic and physical-biological dimensions) in Kham cities in the west of Mazandaran province (including the cities of Kajur, Baldeh and Pol) are in a bad situation. In addition, the raw ranking of cities in the west of Mazandaran province through Friedman's test shows that considering that the significance level of the test is less than 0.05 (equal to 0.001), that in the socio-cultural dimension, Balade city has the highest rank with an average rank of 2.14, in the economic dimension Kajur city with an average rank of 2.34 has the highest rank among the cities in the west of Mazandaran province and also in the physical-biological dimension, considering that the significance level of the test is more than 0.05 (equal to 0.302). They have different averages, but because this difference is not significant, they have the same rank.Living in the city creates rights and duties for citizens, which is natural for citizens to imagine the right to the city in accordance with the duties that the law has set for them, in order to achieve an ideal life.
