However, how to create individual motivations for participation in the theoretical literature of this model has been almost ignored. For this reason, in this research, the theory of self-determination, which considers the creation of motivation as requiring consideration of the inherent psychological needs for competence, autonomy, and communication, has been studied and its effect on the asset-based community development model has been investigated. Purpose: The purpose of this research is to present a new conceptual model to increase people's participation based on the influence of self-determination theory in the asset-based community development model. Method: The research is among qualitative studies and by combining two methods of critical discourse analysis according to Fairclough's analytical framework and thematic analysis, the common conceptual areas of property-based community development and self-determination theory, which have the ability to integrate with each other, were studied. Findings: By critically analyzing the discourse at three levels of description, interpretation and explanation and carrying out the process of thematic classification (coding and identification of primary themes and main themes), the areas of convergence and interconnected concepts of self-determination theory and the asset-based community development model were identified and the conceptual model of the research was presented. . Conclusion: In order to motivate and satisfy people's psychological needs to increase participation, there is a need for spaces where people can show their abilities and competencies; have authority to make decisions and determine destiny under social leadership; and have the experience of being present in spaces where they can interact and establish effective social communication with others. These spaces include interactive, decision-making, educational, self-leveling, and self-driving spaces, or in more complete terms, language spaces.

One of the reasons for the inefficiency of the Iranian urban planning system is the lack of a specific definition within the framework of a clear theoretical paradigm, which results in ambiguity in the definition, role, status and performance of this field. Goals: The present study aims to search for the definition of urban planning based on the philosophy of pragmatism in order to provide a realistic basis for overcoming ambiguities and achieving urban development by presenting a clear concept of urban planning. Methodology: The research is of a qualitative type and uses the grounded theory strategy to understand Iranian urban planning patterns from the perspective of professionals in order to provide a pragmatic definition and with the aim of providing a basis for overcoming shortcomings. Result: The findings were separated into 5 categories of causal, contextual, interventional, strategies, and consequences through data analysis after 3-stage coding, and finally the main category: "Defects and inefficiency of the planning approach in the path of urban development" was obtained. Conclusion: Based on the results, urban planning is an interdisciplinary and action-oriented knowledge that deals with the city and the interactions and actions of residents with a critical and ethnographic approach, and within the framework of democratic and participatory governance, leads to integrated and sustainable development of the city and responsiveness to citizens' demands. Pragmatism, as a philosophical-methodological paradigm, can serve as a basis for redefining urban planning and its concepts in the future of Iran and provide the basis for changes in the prevailing attitudes, methods, and patterns in proportion to the context and demands of citizens, with the goal of pragmatically achieving integrated and sustainable development.

Journal Article 2024 06 27 The appropriate effectiveness of today's decision-making is related to understanding the future situation and how to face it; in the field of planning, especially urban and regional planning or national and regional development plans, addressing the future and its planning is an inseparable part of the planning process. In most cases, addressing the future by relying on forecasting and analyzing trends has created countless problems in implementing plans. These problems often arise from not paying attention to the effects of emerging or emerging technologies on human life or neglecting the driving forces and key factors in the development process, causing their gradual weakening and ultimately their negative impact on the entire system. Today, futures research approaches in the field of planning emphasize finding key factors and drivers of development in the planning space so that the planner, having the levers of control and management of the future, can address the desired architecture of the future. Therefore, explaining the factors affecting the development of East Azerbaijan Province, relying on the science of futures studies, plays a significant role in the comprehensive development and progress of this city. In this regard, the main question of the present study is: What are the key factors affecting the development of East Azerbaijan Province with a futures studies approach? The variable of investment attraction from the capital market, domestic and foreign, business environment and economic security and stability, and inflation control has the highest direct impact on the development of East Azerbaijan province. These factors are also the most important factor in terms of indirect impact on the development process of the province. Therefore, paying attention to these three variables in the development process of the province is essential for planners and managers. The indicators affecting the development strategy of the province are in five economic dimensions - agriculture/industry/commerce, cross-sectoral/tourism, infrastructure, social and cultural, and environmental. In this study, all 52 factors affecting the physical development strategy of the province were entered into the software and a short indicator was considered for each.
