    Abstract:

    In general, what is neglected in the scientific literature inside and outside the country is the role of faith-based organizations (SAM) in the management and sustainable development of urban neighborhoods. These organizations, which are divided into two categories, sacred and non-sacred, are more effective than other organizations because of their faith capacity. Faith-based organizations refer to an organization, group, program or project that provides human services through the factor of faith intertwined with services. On the one hand, these organizations always create and strengthen identity, spiritual memories and a sense of belonging to a place, participation and division of labor in different cities and neighborhoods of the world, and on the other hand, due to the extent of dimensions and the changing nature of urban and neighborhood issues and the complexity of these issues, it has made a comprehensive view and attention to the various dimensions and aspects of the problem in order to solve them sustainably (including attention and awareness of the socio-economic, educational and environmental performance effects of these types of local organizations).

    In Iran, what can definitely be mentioned is that using the capacity of neighborhood participation (with the cooperation of neighborhood-based organizations) along with faith can compensate for many unsolvable problems. Therefore, one of the most efficient implementation tools of government policies are non-profit organizations, and faith-based organizations are the most obvious manifestation of these organizations, which, due to their internal and faith-based motivations, have the capacity to implement policies. By applying these principles (functions), faith-based organizations have tried to realize the role of these organizations in the management and sustainable development of urban neighborhoods. The role of faith-based organizations in the management and sustainable development of neighborhoods in one city of Tehran is as follows: Conceptually and functionally, faith-based organizations and neighborhood-based organizations in selected neighborhoods of one city in Tehran are compatible and compatible with each other, and this strengthens the management and

    Knowledge, awareness, education and attention in the fields of social-educational and environmental services, especially the basic needs of residents, are among the most important functional aspects of faith-based organizations (of course, with neighborhood-based organizations), which has led to the formation and strengthening of neighborhood management and sustainable development in the study area (neighborhoods of District 1 of Tehran).

    Community-based organizations and faith-based organizations are effective in reducing the problems caused by urban poverty.

    The inadequacy and uncertainty of SAMs, both in Iran and in the study area, and as a result, these organizations cannot be accurately distinguished from other community-oriented organizations.

    General research

    Statement of the problem:

    Undoubtedly, the growth and development of urbanization and the unprecedented increase in the urban population in recent decades have important effects on the formation and functions of faith-based organizations (SAM), like all organizations and cultural and social institutions that are involved in the affairs Socio-economic and cultural cities, especially their management and sustainable development, play roles, so that this trend has doubled the need for scientific attention and recognition of the developmental effects of these organizations, for example, the role of faith-based organizations in the socio-economic development of small local communities in Canada, Australia, Egypt, America. Faith is an integral part of the organization, which is expressed through its leaders, workforce and volunteers and is tied to their services (Rahbar, Ihsan; 2013: pp. 87-90). Faith-based organizations are formed in neighborhoods where various activities and affairs of human daily life are influenced by religion and religious beliefs. The first category are organizations whose foundation is based on faith, such as churches, mosques, and other places that worship God.The second category is the organizations whose foundation is not based on faith and their goal is not to make profit, but they are affiliated with religious organizations, such as foundations and charitable institutions and associations supporting homeless women. On the one hand, faith-based organizations, in their general sense, always create and strengthen identity, spiritual memories, and a sense of belonging to a place in different cities of the world. On the other hand, due to the wide dimensions and changing nature of urban issues and the complexity of these issues, it is inevitable to take a comprehensive view and pay attention to different dimensions and aspects of the problem in order to solve them sustainably (including the socio-economic and environmental functional effects of these types of local organizations).  Many researches and studies have been done in the last two decades about the various functional works of these organizations in the urban environment, all of which have in some way targeted the planning and urban management policies from the smallest unit i.e. the neighborhood in the city (Madanipour, 2003). In the era of globalization, where most human societies are moving away from spirituality and the personalization of religion and separating it from daily human life, faith-based organizations are trying to play roles in ossifying and giving identity to cities and even localities. Throughout history, regardless of their main function, which is to organize ritual ceremonies, faith-based organizations have performed functions directly and indirectly.

    The city of Tehran, being in the path of severe population and urbanization changes and following the procedure governing the country's planning system, the principles related to the compatibility of these vital centers with the demographic needs of the city and the sphere of influence should be clarified and proposals should be made in order to solve the existing inadequacies and shortcomings. and provide a suitable solution. The neighborhoods of District 1 of Tehran are not separated from this category and they carry cultural, religious and religious monuments. With this description, this issue arises in the mind that the presence of these faith-based organizations in the neighborhoods of Tehran's 1st district, what role do they play in meeting or adjusting population needs and achieving the principles and criteria of sustainable neighborhood management and development? In this thesis, an attempt is made to analyze the functional status of faith-based organizations in terms of comparison with neighborhood-based organizations and their role in realizing some urban sustainability indicators, especially in the basic needs of citizens and as a result of helping to realize sustainable neighborhood management. 1-2 research questions: 1) Are faith-based organizations conceptually and Are their functions compatible with neighborhood-based organizations? 2) What functions can these organizations have in forming and strengthening the management and sustainable development of a neighborhood in the study area (especially the neighborhoods of Tehran's 1st district)?

    The most important functional aspects of these organizations at the level of neighborhood management and development are knowledge, awareness, education and attention in the fields of social-educational, environmental services, especially the basic needs of residents. The functions and roles of neighborhood faith-based organizations in different countries of the world in the way of strengthening neighborhood management and sustainable development.

    Examining the functions and activities of these organizations in reducing crises, poverty and people's problems at the level of urban neighborhoods.

    Achieving a consolidated model of these organizations to facilitate management activities and attract more people's participation at the level of urban neighborhoods.
