- Abstract
In an urban space, which is a place for social interactions of people, different behavioral patterns emerge considering other cultures and values in society. If urban management policies are not appropriate and conscientious about realizing desirable behaviors in the urban space, the possibility of emerging behaviors that most people prefer will decrease. The current study aims to explain and analyze the variables and factors affecting the normativity of the behavioral patterns of citizens. The current research is applied-fundamental in terms of purpose. Its methodological approach is qualitative, followed by the content analysis method and interpretive structural modeling. According to the obtained results, it can be said that five significant and fundamental factors of social belonging, way of perception and conventional understanding, sense of citizenship, sense of place, mechanical conditions, and quantity of the components of the environment are influential on the normativity of the behavioral patterns of citizenships. Among these factors, the sense of citizenship has the maximum influence, power, and independence. The findings of this paper contribute to urban management so that by applying the normative factors, the social behaviors of citizens be controlled, responsive, and well, and by long-term planning to realize these factors, prevent the emergence of abnormal and undesirable behaviors in the urban space.
