Abstract: (101 Views)
Introduction: The first informal local communities were concentrated in the south of Shiraz, and with the continuous increase of the immigrant population, the related residential areas entered the process of physical expansion and became towns, one of which is Shahrak-e-Sadi in the northeast of the city. When entering this town, low-income immigrants, due to their socio-economic ability and due to structural limitations for attracting and operating in the legal sector, have mainly settled informally outside the legal and official limits of the city. The purpose of the research is to evaluate the employment system among the residents of this neighborhood based on the empowerment and urban management approach.
Methodology: The statistical population of the research includes 11 urban management experts and 55,000 residents over 18 years old in Shahrak-e-Sadi. A sample size of 384 was obtained based on Cochran's formula and a normal level of 95%, whose validity was confirmed by the aforementioned experts and its reliability was accepted as 0.82 using Cronbach's alpha test. Inferential statistics and structural equation modeling were used to analyze the data, and content analysis method was used to identify the factors affecting empowerment.
Results and Discussion: The occupations of the residents of Shahrak-e-Sadi are divided into the groups of "urban agriculture, home occupations, motor couriers, hawkers, service workers, laborers, organized crimes and others". The significance coefficient values of skill training promotion on home business promotion and urban agriculture development show that the p-value is less than 0.05 and the T-value is greater than 1.96, and therefore it has a positive and significant effect and is almost strong. Also, the examination of the significance coefficient values of the organizations' assistance on the promotion of home businesses and the development of urban agriculture shows that the p-value is smaller than 0.05 and the T-value is greater than 1.96, and therefore it has a positive and significant effect and is almost strong.
Conclusion: Promoting skill training and assisting organizations by promoting home businesses and developing urban agriculture will create jobs and generate more income. Promotion of skills training and development of business skills is one of the components of the development of this underprivileged neighborhood, and its biggest achievement is establishing a level of well-being and increasing life expectancy among the target groups and using potential human resources with the aim of generating income.
Highlight: Among the residents of informal settlements, there is a feeling of lack, deprivation and humiliation, the root of which goes back to the daily commuting of people to the cities and observing urban facilities and urbanization.
