Abstract
Introduction

Management with the role of mediation of participation by providing a context for benefiting from the benefits of local residents' participation in management can be very efficient in the direction of social justice and reconstruction of Urban Peripheral space. Based on this, it is definitely not possible to manage Urban Peripheral areas without people's participation and using new management methods. Also, according to the evaluations made by Friedman, solving the problems faced by the cities and their Urban Peripheral areas in developing countries including Iran, through the improvement and effective institutional capacity building in the management structure and design processes of decision-making and Participatory planning with different groups and stakeholders of Urban Peripheral arenas is possible. In this regard, the studied area of Khash city in Sistan and Baluchistan province has undergone many changes during the last few decades, including the increase of the urban population, the physical expansion of urban settlements and the annexation of surrounding villages to the city, the loss of agricultural lands. And it has been converted into residential uses. In fact, the city of Khash, due to many changes over time, with a set of factors, has increased the quantitative and physical level of the city beyond the conventional standards, which itself has caused problems for the areas around the villages. Therefore, the main problem of the current research is to identify the management model of Urban Peripheral areas with emphasis on the role of participation in Khash.

Methodology

In terms of purpose, the current research is applied and interpretive and analytical in nature, and in terms of method, it is in the group of qualitative and quantitative researches. In order to analyze the data, grand theory method and Expert Choice software have been used. The method of collecting information was document and library studies and interviews and questionnaires. The statistical population in the current research also includes experts and elites in the field of urban and rural planning. In order to collect the sample population based on the purposeful sampling method; a number of (20) people were selected as the sample community.



Results and discussion

The results showed that the set of causal conditions includes (use of native knowledge of villagers, obtaining appropriate credits and facilities in line with people's participation in managers, creating a discourse for the institutionalization of participation in urban peripheral areas, informing the residents of urban peripheral about the importance of their participation in the process of implementing development plans, strengthening institutional capacities); Background conditions include (strengthening the sense of trust between officials and local residents, good governance, training in participatory management among relevant organizations, increasing the belief in the usefulness and usefulness of participation in management-related issues) and (optimal and decentralized management conditions, decentralized approach in the development of urban peripheral areas, benefiting from the experiences of other countries and using all the capacities of local urban peripheral residents (women, men, youth)); were identified as intervening conditions. Then the strategies that lead to the management of urban peripheral areas with an emphasis on the role of participation, include (drawing the vision of urban peripheral areas with an emphasis on participatory management, a gathering of experts, managers of relevant organizations and local residents of urban peripheral areas regarding barriers to participation, decision-making and the right policy) were identified. In the following, categories such as: people's participation in all stages of decision-making, planning, implementation and operation, sustainability of urban peripheral areas, physical-spatial development, improving the quality of life of local communities, balance and balanced growth as consequences and political obstacles, the inappropriate structural-institutional model of the management system, the lack of mention of the role of policy making in the management of urban peripheral areas, in achieving the management of urban peripheral areas by emphasizing the role of participation they were considered as obstacles. Finally, the results showed; Among the causal conditions, obtaining appropriate credits and facilities in line with the participation of people to managers with a value of 0.245, background conditions: strengthening the sense of trust between officials and local residents with a weight value of 0.300, intervening conditions: strengthening the sense of trust between officials and local residents with a weight value of 0.296, between proposed strategies: decision-making and correct policy making with a value of 0.400, consequences: sustainability of urban peripheral areas with a weight value of 0.277 and finally, among the obstacles: the inappropriate structural-institutional model of the management system with a weight value of 0.356 has been assigned the most importance in the management of urban peripheral areas with emphasis on the role of mediation of participation.

Conclusion

The management approach in the Urban Peripheral areas of Hash is the urban-rural government, whose managers consider themselves the guardians of the residents and implement their policies and programs at will without the smallest survey and participation. The result of this type of management is the exclusion of people in the decision-making process. Accordingly, it is necessary to use the ability and participation of local residents.
