Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the challenges of Islamic city councils (Local Councils) in order to achieve the optimal efficiency of the governance system.
The research method is Applied and Developed and Using library and internet resources. The results indicate that the position of Islamic city councils in the Iranian governance structure as local management has been confirmed. This ruling class will reach the highest level of utilization for the political structure of Iran when it can make appropriate decisions based on social, financial and political requirements, and have proper planning on local institutions and organizations under the local government ministries that are present locally, and perform their local governance task with supervision and management.
There is evidence in different periods of Islamic councils that indicate the ups and downs of decentralization conditions in the country's Unitary state system of government. This occurs in the relationships of local administrations and government sub-organizations and poses challenges. In the event of social and political currents between the center of the government and the periphery (Islamic city councils), structural and functional inconsistencies are visible. Attention to local participation is the democratic context that is included in the laws and regulations adopted by Iran. Participation in governance will have its optimum level when it is possible to fulfill the promises of Local Governances (Islamic councils) and the people's persuasion of the status quo is observed.
