Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of the present study was to identify and prioritize the barriers to citizen participation in urban services in the city of Shadegan.
Method: The research method is applied in purpose and exploratory–mixed in design. Purposive sampling was used, and 13 participants—including members of the City Council, former and current mayors of Shadegan, and their deputies—were selected. After identifying the barriers through content analysis of previous research, a Likert‑scale questionnaire was developed and distributed using the Delphi technique in three rounds, during which several components were eliminated.
Findings: Data analysis revealed four main factors—urban structure and characteristics, urban management, reward and reward expectations from participation, and participation structures—as the key barriers to citizen participation in urban services. After constructing a decision tree, a pairwise comparison questionnaire was designed, and the prioritization of barriers was obtained using Expert Choice 11 software.
Conclusion: Citizen participation leads to reduced costs because the interests of city management and residents are interdependent. When participation is realized, many essential urban services can be provided within the city itself, utilizing local capacities.
