A Survey of Strategies to Promote Ethical Citizenship in Tehran

The focus of this research is to identify and examine the influential factors in ethical citizenship, considering the limits and potentials of urban management in Tehran. Moving away from a general assessment of the adherence to ethical citizenship and the individual factors that affect this adherence, we conducted a comparative survey to measure the effects of the following variables on ethical citizenship: (1) the number of community centers in the neighborhood of residence and (2) the quality of interactions and coexistence with unknown others. The results showed that interactions and coexistence with those others positively influence the adherence to ethical citizenship; however, the empirical evidence did not illustrate any relationship between the number of community centers and the degree of practicing ethical citizenship.
