Abstract
The aim of this study is to investigate the presence of women in the neighborhood-oriented projects of Tehran municipality and its impact on the level of promotion of their psycho-social empowerment. The theoretical framework of the research is based on the Theories of radical feminism, symbolic interaction and the theory of Bourdieu and Habermas. In order to examine the research questions, 163 women who participated in these projects with 164 women who did not participate in these projects were studied and compared regarding their psycho-social empowerment. Findings showed that more than 70 percent of women in the study group participated in the projects in large rate and more than 60% highly rated the success of project implementation. Findings showed that there is a significant difference between psycho-social empowerment between intervention and comparison groups at 99% confidence interval level. Therefore, the results indicated that the implementation of these projects has been effective in promoting women’s psycho-social empowerment, which shows the necessity of continuation of these projects at a wider level in Tehran and other cities.
