Description
Summary:The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of spatial identity on the participation of villagers in the process of preparing and implementing Rural Guide Plans for settlements around the metropolis of Mashhad. The method of the study is descriptive-analytical. By selecting 10 villages from 17 periphery villages of Mashhad metropolitanin which the Rural Guide Plans have been implemented, 168 rural households were surveyed as a sample size using Cochran's formula. The research findings show a significant negative difference between the measured mean and the obtained mean, both in the dimensions of spatial identity and participation in Rural Guide Plans. Also, the results indicate a significant inverse relationship in all aspects of spatial identity with the level of involvement of villagers in the preparation and approval of Rural Guide Plans. Besides, three dimensions of differentiation (0.199), continuity (0.390), and self-esteem (0.345) showed a significant positive relationship with the level of participation of villagers in the implementation of these kinds of plans. In the supervision and maintenance phase, a significant positive relationship was observed in all four dimensions of differentiation (0.170), continuity (0.527), self-esteem (0.482), and self-efficacy (0.253). Indeed, paying attention to psychological criteria, proper crisis management in rural areas, and villagers' understanding that notice to them and the villages are increasing, will grow participation in at least two stages of implementation and supervision and maintenance.
