Abstract
Organizing and producing space based on the principle of citizen rights is one of the basic needs in urban planning and design. Urban spaces should have the ability to provide welfare services for all classes with different abilities and weaknesses. The importance of honoring the disabled in the construction and upbringing of society shows the necessity of paying attention to the rights of citizens in the city. The current research, with survey-analytical method, seeks to analyze the theory of citizenship rights in the reproduction of the city space based on the needs of vulnerable groups in Zanjan city. Data collection was done with field and library studies. The statistical population includes 5560 people with disabilities in Zanjan city, of which 359 people were selected by Cochran sampling. Data analysis was done with variance analysis test, partial least square method with SPSS.19, Smart PLS.3 software. The findings showed that the average satisfaction of the citizenship rights index is 2.94. Based on variance analysis, there is a difference between the type of disability and citizenship rights. Because the public spaces of the city are not adapted according to the types of disabilities. The path analysis coefficient for the impact of the right to use urban space on citizenship rights is 0.802 and the impact of the right to participate is 0.824. As a result, city design based on the right to use the urban space and the right to participate strengthens the rights of citizens.
