Abstract

Big new cities have been built around Tehran. This research follows the field study of the daily life of the residents of the new city of Pardis in the dimensions and components of the right to the city, and its main purpose is to express and analyze the main problems and demands of the residents of the new city of Pardis, which make life in this city difficult or has caused the dissatisfaction of the residents. The current research was carried out using a qualitative method, and 22 in-depth interviews were conducted with the residents of Pardis city using the purposeful sampling method. In the current research, Brown and Clark’s (2006) thematic analysis method was used to code data and find themes and sought to understand and extract concepts and deficiencies of the rights to the city of the residents of the new city of Pardis. A total of eight main themes were identified for the overarching theme of the right to the city in the new campus city, which is supported by several sub-themes. These main themes include: 1. Difficult public transportation, 2. Poor performance of the architecture company in the new city of Pardis, 3. Cold interaction, 4. Low access to urban services, 5. Inequality, 6. Urban dependence on the mother city, 7. Density of complexes and empty houses, and 8. Daily migration of workers. The dependence of the new city of Pardis on the mother city of Tehran has caused the residents' right to the city to be divided with Tehran, and the lack of job opportunities and poor transportation are two very important determinants of the right to the city in Pardis, which have severely affected the other rights of the residents and has had the most significant impact on social interactions and has reduced the scope of monitoring neighbors.
