Abstract (498 Views)
Aims: This study aimed to analyze how participatory urban planning can enhance livability and improve urban quality of life, with a specific focus on Yasuj City.
Methodology: This research, applied in nature, was conducted in Yasuj City in 2024. The sample population comprised experts, specialists, and university professors in urban planning. Using purposive sampling, 23 participants were selected. A questionnaire was developed, then reviewed and validated by several experts and community elites before distribution. The Dimtel method was employed for data analysis.
Findings: Key indicators of participation included involvement in cultural affairs (3.156), oversight of city council activities (4.370), awareness of ideas and proposals (2.736), shared values and identity (5.848), and trust in relevant institutions (5.132).
Conclusion: Trust positively impacts livability and urban quality of life, while supervision is less influential. However, aspects like public involvement in management selection and project monitoring may decrease livability.
