Abstract

Today, one of the important approaches to control and manage this phenomenon is the approach of good urban governance. Good urban governance can be defined as the way and process of managing urban affairs or the constructive participation of the public governmental private and civil society sectors in order to achieve sustainable urban development, create a healthy city and improve the quality of life. In the present study, the informal settlement areas of Ilam city have been studied with the approach of good urban governance. The research method is descriptive-analytical. For statistical calculations and analysis of research data, statistical software SPSS, Excel and statistical techniques including t-test, F-test and ANOVA method were used. Research information has been collected in two ways: library and survey (using a questionnaire). The statistical population of the study includes six thousand households living in the informal settlement of Ilam and the sample size is 397 heads of households who were selected using Cochran's formula and simple random sampling. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used for the reliability of the questionnaire, which was calculated to be 0.86. the evaluation of variable have been done through Likert scale.The results of studies based on the indicators of good urban governance, participation, accountability, legality, justice, transparency, responsibility, effectiveness and efficiency show that the rate of benefiting from good urban governance in Ilam is at a low level. Accordingly, the more good urban governance and its indicators implemented and administrated, the more the expansion of informal settlement controlled.
