چکیده:
In Iran, natural disasters and calamities have caused more delays in the development process than other nations in the world. However, in the country's social literature and theorizing of social transformations, very little attention has been paid to them and they have had a marginal position. The existing theoretical literature in this field is fundamentally influenced by approaches from medical sciences, engineering, and morphology. One of the important factors to be examined in this regard is the study of the role and position of the people. This article, based on the findings of a research project in 1382 (2003) among 650 Tehran households, emphasizes the role of public participation in disaster relief and the factors influencing it. According to the final analysis of the relationship between factors, it can be said that the level of relief participation is dependent on the level of knowledge and awareness of individuals about disasters and safety recommendations provided by relevant official institutions and organizations, belief in the existence of positive consequences resulting from the experience of participation and direct assistance in past disasters, the level of empathy and collective responsibility, the feeling of powerlessness and individual inability in the face of the order of the universe and events resulting from it. This article, while examining the position of public participation in studies and theories related to disasters, provides an explanation of the status of the subject under study in Iran.

This article, based on the findings of a research project conducted in 1382 (2003) among 650 families in Tehran, emphasizes the role of public participation in disaster relief and the factors influencing it.
According to the final analysis of the relationship between factors, it can be said that the level of relief participation is dependent on the level of knowledge and awareness of individuals regarding disasters and safety recommendations provided by relevant official institutions and organizations, belief in the existence of positive consequences resulting from the experience of participation and direct assistance in past disasters, the degree of empathy and collective responsibility, and the feeling of individual powerlessness and inability in the face of the order of the universe and events arising from it.
com (3)-This article is written using the data from the research project “Investigating the Contexts and Strategies for Attracting Public Participation in Relief of Unforeseen Incidents,” which was financially supported by the Institute of Higher Education for Applied Science of the Iranian Red Crescent.
An important issue that has recently attracted the attention of researchers (and even executive officials) in the field of social sciences, especially the sociological perspective, is the question of how to increase the level of public participation in disaster relief.
According to it, participatory development is a process through which individuals increase their ability to produce the goods they need and manage their political and social lives, while reducing the amount and long-term direct vulnerability of incidents that threaten their economic, political, and social lives (especially in disaster-prone areas) (See Znaide & Song, 2003; Anderson & Woodrow, 1989).
