A number of these settlements, due to their proximity to the informal and marginalized settlements, They have experienced many negative physical and social changes due to the unprincipled and unplanned growth of these informal settlements and their proximity to this context, It has caused bad living conditions and reduced quality of life, which requires special attention to reduce the consequences of this development. Therefore, the main goal of this research is to analyze the situation of good governance in the Urban Peripheral villages of Urmia, To evaluate the current situation of these villages in order to improve their situation from the point of view of good governance. Among the fields of research innovation, in the field of research method, we can mention the use of new decision-making methods and the use of new data. Also, due to the lack of similar research, it seems necessary to conduct this research in order to prevent the unprincipled expansion of this settlement and the reduction of their quality of life and livability.

Methodology

The current research method is longitudinal in terms of time and practical in terms of results, also the process of conducting the research is quantitative and descriptive-analytical in terms of its purpose. The method of collecting information is in two forms, documentary, and field. The tool for collecting information is also in the form of questionnaires and field observations. The statistical population of the study is the residents of the Urban Peripheral villages of Urmia, which includes the villages of Band, Topraq Qala, Dadeh Saqi, Reihanabad, Vazirabad, Velandeh-e Sofla, Anhar-e Sofla, Ganjabad and Mirabad, which according to the statistics of Iran Statistics Center in 2015, the population of Pirasheri villages is 21,059 people. In order to determine the sample size, Cochran's formula was used with an error percentage of 0.05, and a value of 377 was obtained, which was randomly distributed in the study area. in order to evaluate the state of good governance in the Urban Peripheral villages of Urmia, 6 components have been used, which include rural participation, accountability and transparent, responsive, justice and equality, efficiency and effectiveness, and supervision, and the data has been analyzed quantitatively and by SPSS software. in order to analyze the data of the research, due to the fact that the size of the statistical population is more than 20 and also because of the central limit theorem, their normality is not checked, therefore, statistical methods such as one-sample t-test and Spearman's correlation have been used to analyze the data. DEMATEL's multi-criteria decision-making method has been used to find the relationship between the research components and finally, the VIKOR model has been used to rank the studied villages. The validity of the questionnaires has been confirmed by experts in this field and the reliability of the questionnaires has been confirmed by Cronbach's alpha test.

Conclusion

Today, due to the unprincipled and unplanned expansion of cities, it has caused the proximity of cities to the villages around them, and in the meantime, it has caused the formation of Spaces called Urban Peripheral, which sometimes, due to the proximity to informal settlements, have caused the reproduction and expansion of marginalization around the cities. Is. In this regard, in order to prevent the reproduction of informal settlements and marginalization in these contexts, urban and rural managers should formulate and adopt principled macro and micro policies based on the components of good governance. Also, according to the results of the research, the use of the component of justice and equality in line with the development of principles Cities are of great importance, and along with that, it can provide effective results in this area with bottom-up planning and attracting the participation of residents.
