The Process of the Physical Spatial Development of Marginalization and the Formation of Land Disputes (Institutional Ethnography of Marginalization in the Isolated Area of Naysar Sanandaj City)

Abstract

The urban district of Naysar is the largest district with the highest population density in Sanandaj city, and in parallel, it has the most challenges and issues. Among these challenges and issues is the issue of ownership and housing, which has involved the residents and owners of this area in addition to planners and officials. The current research considering the theory of urban regeneration analyzes how this area's physical-spatial development and territorial disputes have occurred and provides housing and ownership rights to the residents of this area. The method used in this research is an institutional ethnographic method that analyzed the situation using semi-structured interview data with 25 managers and urban planners as well as local trustees and collected statistics and organizational information related to the measures taken in the study area. The results show that due to the power of the owners and entrepreneurs and institutions such as the municipality, the marginal residents have been rejected or forced to accept the existing situation in these conflicts. The categories of urban-rural infrastructure, illegal constructions and smuggling of urban services, lack of strategic urban planning, lack of sufficient credits, and lack of stakeholder interaction indicate the conditions that have caused socio-economic instability.
