The link between the exercise of citizens' rights and the governance which in the right to the city has reached its peak, is undeniable, and thus the right to the city and local governance will be two sides of the same coin.This study by descriptive - analytical method seeks to answer the questions that include the concept, examples and content of the right to the city in Iran's law and the relationship between the right to the city and the relationship with the governance on the basis sustainability. The right to the city is a non-objective matter that the city and the material and spiritual facilities within it belongs to it. Different criteria can be considered to determine its dimensions and content, such as law and special custom, but the second criterion must be valid in the view of the legislator in order to be valid. The rights owner are the people and its duty-bearers are the government and a part of it such as municipalities and similar organizations and also people. Sustainability-based governance through methods such as resolving the ambiguities of the right to the city and creating the conditions for the exercise of this right by achieving its goals can help the enforcement of the right to the city.

The expansion of urbanization and the interaction of people with urban public spaces, the quality of life of city dwellers is tied to the quality of urban spaces. Thus, it is necessary that all different parts of a city have equal access to high quality services. However, tensions regarding the quality of public spaces can be seen in different areas of cities, which may affect spatial justice and create different experiences of urban life for residents of different areas of a city. The information required for this research, which is descriptive-analytical, has been collected by questionnaires based on random selection. Questionnaires are divided into 2 main sections including personal information and questions related to research variables. Physical infrastructure, accessibility, cultural conditions and objective and subjective security are the variables of this research. The data from the questionnaires were analyzed using hot spot analysis and Moran's index in ARC GIS software version 10.7.

Public spaces with their functional diversity are always producers and consumers of social capital. This research aims to investigate the function of public space consumption and the amount of social capital in the context of place, time, and activity. The research method is of a mixed type based on qualitative interpretative and quantitative explanatory methods. The data was collected by organized observation method, case interviews, and questionnaire completion in the public spaces of the city center of Zanjan in the number of 470 samples. The research variables include trust, cohesion, awareness, and social participation. The data analysis was based on the qualitative method of interpretive tables and the quantitative method based on concentration, dispersion, change radar, follow-up model, and T-Welch. The findings show that the type of consumption function of public spaces has a determining effect on the amount of social capital. So linear public spaces based on movement with limited space for standing, and conversation, have less social capital than collectivist public spaces with spatial organization based on sitting and social discourse. There is a significant relationship between the period of space use and its function with the amount of social capital at an acceptable significance level. So, the a posteriori model shows a significant difference in the amount of social capital in the public spaces of Zanjan city center. The dispersion of social capital in the radar of changes is towards the periphery of the radar (desirability), which according to Welch's model, this ratio is different according to the type and time of space consumption.: The type of function of the space determines the type of consumption and according to the type of consumption it affects the social capital. The users of the public spaces city center have different social capital according to the function of the space.
