Abstract
Efficient management is one of the fundamental pillars of urban growth and development, and without it, the sustainability of a city cannot be imagined. Today, modern management approaches have replaced traditional ones worldwide. Good urban governance is one such modern management approach, based on the principles of participation, transparency, efficiency and effectiveness, strategic vision, justice, rule of law, and solidarity. The primary objective of this research is to evaluate the performance of urban management through the lens of good urban governance in the small town of Abdolkhan in Shush County. Data collection was conducted through documentary, library, and field studies using questionnaires. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software, employing t-test statistics, correlation analysis, and the SWOT-QSPM analytical model.
The results indicate that the level of satisfaction with urban management performance, emphasizing urban governance indicators, is below the average (3), with the lowest satisfaction related to the index of participation in implementing plans and programs. Additionally, the findings reveal a direct and significant relationship between sustainability and urban governance, meaning that achieving governance indicators in urban management can lead to urban sustainability. Finally, based on the SWOT analytical model—identifying internal factors (strengths and weaknesses) and external factors (opportunities and threats) and scoring them—this study concludes that to achieve good urban governance in Abdolkhan's urban management, aggressive strategies (SO), i.e., leveraging internal strengths to exploit external opportunities, should be prioritized.
