industry has such a role on economic and social development of countries that economists
have described it as the engine for development of seaside regions. Development of this
industry in the world, needs efficiency of the management system, development of the
infrastructure, and improvement of the required capacities. Necessity of strengthening the
factors, citizen participation in order to achieve sustainable development tourism, requires
providing the basic needs for presence of people in public areas. As city is considered as a
system and people's participation is a part of the system, and one of the influencing factors
in the system, in this research, we seek to explain the subjective and objective setbacks and
obstacles that are on the way of citizen's participation in urban management, and the
effective solutions in increasing people's participation in ideal and innovative urban
management by using analytic-descriptive and statically and presumption method. The
relation between people's and managers' perspective and people's participation and
qualitative and quantitative characteristics influencing people's participation are identified
through questionnaire and calculating the relation between these characteristics and people's
participation. Static population are residents of city of Juybar with a population around
31820 people, which according to Cochran's formula, 384 people were selected. In current
research in order to describe and analyze data and examine hypotheses Spearman correlation
