Background and Objective: The predominance of the autocratic view in urban management imposes exorbitant costs on the shoulders of people and even governments that have declared municipalities as self-governing public institutions. In this approach, cities are out of people's ownership and citizens do not have a role in the management of their settlements. The basic assumption of this study is that now cities are imagined as an aquarium and its costs are demanded from people who do not have a specific relationship with it. This is despite the fact that if people's urban rights are respected, the city is imagined as an ecosystem and not only will be managed with the lowest cost, but will also create the highest level of satisfaction. To test this hypothesis, the relationship between compliance with urban rights and the possibility of realizing an ecosystem city in Mashhad was investigated.
Methodology: The descriptive-analytical research method and its purpose were practical. The data required in this study were collected from a sample of 384 people who were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire, whose validity and reliability were confirmed based on experts' opinions and Cronbach's alpha coefficient (0.81). The collected data were analyzed using correlation coefficient, one-way variance, post hoc tests, multiple regression and other statistical models.
Findings and Conclusion: The results showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between the belief in observing urban rights in five components (civil rights, political rights, social rights, cultural rights and gender rights) and the possibility of realizing ecosystem management. Also, the results of the Pearson correlation test showed that the belief in the observance of citizen's rights and city ecosystem management have a significant and positive relationship; in this sense, the more the belief in the realization of citizenship rights (right to the city) increases, the more the possibility of implementing city ecosystem management increases. The correlation coefficient of these two variables was 56%. As a result, the main hypothesis of the research regarding the effect of belief in the realization of citizenship rights on the possibility of city ecosystem management was confirmed. This finding shows that the two variables of belief in the realization of citizenship rights and the possibility of city ecosystem management are aligned in the same direction. The calculated regression coefficient was 0.62 and the determination coefficient was 37. In fact, 37% of the change in the dependent variable is explained by the belief in the realization of citizenship rights. Based on this, if the citizens believe that managers, designers and urban policy makers respect their urban rights, they will truly consider the city their home.
