Abstract

Zahedan City has had one of the most irregular trends in urban physical expansion over the past three decades. Absolute poverty and unemployment have increased the informal settlements and spatial-physical anomalies in this city. The present study was an attempt to conduct a sociological analysis of the impact of marginalization on urban management of Zahedan City in Karimabad region.The research method is the survey method and the data gathering tool is a questionnaire. The random sampling technique was used and the sample size was determined using the Cochran formula. Therefore, 375 questionnaires were distributed among residents aged between 18 and 70 years in the region. Data analysis was performed in SPSS and LISREL statistical software. The research findings indicate that most individuals had a high school diploma or lower education, an income of below 10 million Rails and had freelance and labor jobs, all of which sets the scene for social harms in the region. Thereafter, data normality was examined using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. According to the results of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, the significance values for the economic, physical, service-environmental, and urban management variables were 0.090, 0.108, 0.070 and 0.051, respectively. Concerning the economic condition, physical condition, service-environmental and urban management condition, the results showed that the conditions are average and blow average in all dimensions, while urban management with 3.637 and with the highest average, it had the worst condition compared to other dimensions.Besides, the results indicated that the economic, physical, service-environmental and demographic components affect the urban management of Zahedan City. Regarding the improvement mechanism, in addition to the concern for economic needs, concepts related to urban control management, cultural activities and increasing of the awareness of marginalized people are taken into account.
