Abstract

A look at the evolution of urban administration and management approaches shows that it is no longer possible to plan without paying attention to participatory approaches and local scales. In the meantime, desirable urban governance is proposed as an effective and efficient model for managing city affairs. Good governance is one of the important approaches to control and manage the phenomenon of informal settlement. The current research is descriptive-analytical in terms of research method and applied in nature. For data collection in order to answer the research questions and based on the research method, two document-library and survey methods were used. In this research, a web-based questionnaire was used as a data collection tool. In order to measure the reliability of the questionnaire, Cronbach's test and its alpha coefficient were used. The statistical population consisted of specialists, experts and university professors, doctoral students of urban geography, urban managers and fields related to urban management, of which 79 people were used as a statistical sample selected through judgmental sampling. In order to analyze the data and test the hypotheses, quantitative analysis methods (structural equation modeling with variance-based approach (PLS), methods of displaying the characteristics of localities in the GIS software such as quantities were used. The SmartPls and Spss were of benefit too. The results of the surveys show that good urban governance plays a very important role in the formation and expansion of informal settlements in the city of Babol. These results emphasize that the formulation and implementation of policies along with proper planning by the local government is crucial to prevent the unsustainable expansion of informal settlements.
