Expended Abstract
Introduction: Urban neighborhoods are a symbol of urban poverty and its spread over time, mainly due to over-migrations, economic fluctuations, the rapid growth of urbanization, and the neglect of the housing and shelter needs of low-income groups. The World Commission for the Future of Cities in the 21st Century warned that, as urban superlife grows, urban poverty in southern countries will increase and a major part of urbanization growth will be based on informal economies and the expansion of informal settlements. According to Habitat, urban areas will be the world’s largest population growth center in the next 30 years and with this increasing population, governments in developing countries face the challenge of a high rate of poverty. Poverty is a global issue worried by both developing and developed countries. In addition, international organizations are working to reduce it. Iran’s constitution and binding legal documents, such as the Prosecutor’s Office and the law, emphasize direct or indirect poverty reduction in Iran. Urban poverty is a multidimensional phenomenon, and the urban population is suffering because of many deprivations, including access to employment opportunities, lack of adequate housing and infrastructure, lack of social security, and lack of access to health and education and individual security. The research seeks to answer this question. Whether there is a significant difference between the urban poverty level and the culture of poverty in urban suburban areas? And if so, how is this difference? How much is the urban poverty situation in each of the suburban neighborhoods studied? On this basis, to measure urban poverty from 15 physical and economic indicators, and for its poverty culture, it has five dimensions The basic one is divided and each one is examined separately. The components of family disruption, local affiliation, despair, economic distress, and ultimately social disorder that are measured by examples of having or not having a literacy or pursuing political news are considered as cultural signs of poverty. The purpose of this research is to investigate the relationship Urban poverty is associated with the culture of poverty in the sub-urban areas of Arak with an emphasis on the economic and cultural empowerment of the residents of these neighborhoods. To this end, indicators of urban poverty and poverty culture have been identified and measured and their relationship is correlated. On the basis of the theory of culture of poverty, suburban neighborhoods, in addition to this Sometimes this pattern is very damaging and damaging, and it will not only damage people and society in the long run, it will also eliminate the hope of changing the situation.
Method: In this study, the survey method was used. The sample is 381 people according to the Cochran formula. Using a three-stage, simple, random and simple sampling method, about 56,774 residents of the 3 suburban suburbs of Arak was selected. In this research, the physical and economic indices are selected first and are based on the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) approach. Also, a TOPSIS multi-criteria decision-making tool has been used to rank urban poverty in terms of urban poverty. According to the Asian Development Bank, poverty is the deprivation of assets and opportunities that each person deserves. In order to measure urban poverty in this study, 15 physical and economic indexes (population density, population density, residential density, residential density, population density in residential unit, household density in residential unit, unemployment rate, labor burden, economic participation, women’s economic participation , Occupational factor, employment rate, overhead rate, dependency ratio, general activity level (9 economic indicators and 6 physical indicators) are considered.
Findings: The TOPSIS model for the football neighborhood is 0.09538 and for the missile fountains 0.06206 and for the Gahlagh neighborhood 0.06031. The results also indicate that most of the blocks in these neighborhoods are in poor condition in terms of urban poverty and poverty culture. The findings of this study showed that the urban poverty of residents of 3 suburban suburbs of Arak, namely, And Qala Golagh’s Koi have a significant direct relation with the level of culture of poverty among them. According to this study, urban poverty and the level of poverty culture among residents of the lower neighborhoods of Arak city have been high. The results of regression analysis showed that the amount of multiple correlation coefficient Regression model and coefficient of determination of independent variable, significantly predict the dependent variable. The results of path analysis indicated that the change in the independent variable caused significant changes in the dependent variable.
Discussion: Urban poverty and the growth of the index of poverty culture are one of the biggest issues in metropolises, which has been the bedrock of many social deviations. Metropolises are a new, complex and marvelous phenomenon that, based on the nature of their formation and development, are faced with great problems in the social, economic, managerial and spatial-physical aspects. In this research, in order to control and reduce the components of poverty, Economic and Poverty Culture in suburban neighborhoods, a solution to the empowerment of residents with a community-based approach in the economic, cultural and social dimensions is proposed. The empowerment of local communities and local development is a decentralized and participatory approach and is in some way a complement to the need to engage in the provision of property rights and economic development in the poorer neighborhoods, in addition to participating in the construction and improvement of the neighborhood. Neighborhood residents are critical in decision making and the planning process to identify the priorities of action and support in implementation.
