Explaining the Priority of Reforms in Political Organizing of Local Space in Iran

Introduction: During the history, political organization of Iranian space from the Achaemenes to the rise of the Pahlavi dynasty has been faced with many ups and downs in terms of administrative centralization in the capital and different levels of delegation to local authorities. In the modern governing era of the first Pahlavi, the centralized administrative structure created new problems for service delivery to the public, which could be attributed to bureaucracy and discrimination in peripheral areas due to maladministration. The society is also suffering from the consequences of a centralized administrative structure, and many executives and elites seek to establish local and decentralized structures in the form of local government, local regime, and autonomous regions or municipalities. Despite the constitution's stipulation for the existence of local structures and the establishment of Islamic councils of the city and villages in Iran, the community still has not benefited from the positive outcomes of decentralized structures. The aim of this study was to reform the local and decentralized administrative structure in Iran, especially to find the priority of these reforms in the organization of Islamic councils of city in two parts of the reform in the structure of urban management or content reform and its legal mechanisms. This research has a descriptive-analytical nature and the findings of the research have been studied by a library method to study the evolution of the formation of local structure of the Islamic councils of the city and villages.

Conclusion: Finally, the analysis and selection of the priority of the local structure reform was investigated; by examining a set of studies, structural-physical factors are introduced as the most challenging factor and priority of the experts to address the existing system defects.
