Abstract
What are the dimensions of urban dynamics is the study motivation of this article. The purpose of this is to present a different perspective on how to analyze social dynamism in the urban space. “How can self-socialization of citizens affect the dynamics and sustainable development of a city?” By reflecting on the stated question, one can realize the special importance of this article. In this context, the information baggage of two sociology treatises was used by adopting the secondary analysis method. These treatises were done with a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods in the cities of Tehran and Arak; But based on the problem plan of this article, the result indicates that urban life can have a dynamic atmosphere according to important dimensions such as: diverse opportunities for comfort and social health, reducing damages, improving environmental health, etc. In addition to a dynamic city, it is necessary to adopt policies in the “cultural field” of the society so that the social self of the citizens is activated towards the expression of responsibility, competencies and abilities. In this field, the participation of entrepreneurial activists in different fields should be used. What supports the self-social dynamics of citizenship is the active campaign of entrepreneurs who have.
Keywords: Dynamic City, Development, Responsible Citizen.
 
1. Introduction
What order and level of coordination the city’s movement has with responsible and self-aware activists, and what aspects of the density of the city’s material capital are compatible with the city’s social and cultural capital is a challenge that if For that, he expressed the appropriate and needed answers and theories, so that it is possible to get closer to the rules of dynamics and social and cultural development of the city. How can we create an atmosphere of dynamism in the contemporary city that, in fact, the city without the need of political and government affiliations, can light up and power its own development engine. The goal is to analyze and represent the quality of urban dynamics leading to real development in contemporary cities. The dynamic social self-agency of citizens in the city reduces environmental damage and pollution (weather and natural landscapes) and socio-psychological pains of citizens in many scenes and conditions. What is more important than witnessing manifestations of diversity, dynamism and individual-social dynamism, satisfaction, native creative identity in modern urban life so that the black dust of monotony, boredom, alienation and indifference can be removed from the image and atmosphere of the contemporary city. Perhaps it can be said that reaching such a destination is the most important goal for successful urban management and planning.
 
2. Materials and Methods
In this article, the combination of information from two research works is used; The first is a sociological research in one of Tehran’s neighborhoods (area 2) around sustainable urban development, and the second is a research work on the issue of strategic spirituality of active entrepreneurs in the urban society (Arak) which is expressed with a preliminary basis on the issue of dynamics in harmony with development Urban has become a new and different approach and analysis. In this article, focusing on the secondary analysis method, three methods have been used in a combined manner: documentary study method, survey method, qualitative data foundation method.
 
3. Data
Based on the opinions and findings of this article, self-socialization forms an important part of the parameter of trust in plans and decision-making structures of the urban area and is effective in citizens’ sense of belonging. Self-socialization by forming very strong communication networks, guaranteeing the effectiveness of programs or their failure, and organizing the wave of urban development and dynamics in the social dimension (employment, education, security, participation, equal opportunities, sense of belonging, etc.), The economic dimension (growth, justice, efficiency, etc.) and the environmental dimension (urban environment, protection of urban natural resources, etc.) help. In other words, the self-social (citizen) with its characteristics must interact with the social structure. The major and significant part of this structure includes the two dimensions of responsibility and social competence. Urban development and dynamism can be seen as a process that is able to be realized under the banner of self-society. In general, if the self-socialization of citizens is improved, by increasing the level of trust building through delegating responsibility, their sense of belonging and participation will also increase. This process ultimately leads to urban prosperity and dynamics through improving the level of self-awareness, increasing self-esteem, self-efficacy, trust and strengthening internal links. In addition, the growth and development of the green and dynamic self-social citizenship tree is in the light of the active role of entrepreneurs who actually have a kind of spirituality: beliefs, values and a non-traditional attitude. Entrepreneurs who firmly and sustainably play a role in the direction of important values such as cooperation, job creation, cooperation, social solidarity, responsibility, competence, social trust, trustworthiness, etc.; And therefore, they establish healthy and reinforcing norms in the urban space. Because what they say and believe, they also act in the objective field of civil relations of the city; Therefore, they are effective and can set an example. What better strategy than an active group of such entrepreneurs who can save and rid a city of all kinds of ruptures, wilting, disorders and disturbances (social, psychological, environmental, etc.).
 
4. Discussion
According to C. Wright Mills, one of the most important social problems of today’s societies is the reduction of the sense of altruism, especially in urban societies (Elwell, F, 2002). For this reason, paying attention to the issue of altruism and how to strengthen it in social relations is very important. Research has shown that there is a positive relationship between spirituality and overall levels of higher physical and mental health, better coping skills, increased life expectancy, and higher levels of life satisfaction(Brotheridge C.M. and..., 2007; 4 (3): 287-309).  Among the empirical findings, there is a common root argument that “spirituality - meaning the growth and promotion of personal and social self-awareness”, is not something that is exclusive to man and isolates him from the outside world, and causes a tremendous increase in the life force in man.
 
5. Conclusion
The development of urban dynamics can be seen as a process that is able to be realized under the banner of self-society. If the self-socialization of citizens is improved, their sense of belonging and participation will also increase by increasing the level of trust building through delegating responsibility. This process ultimately leads to urban prosperity and development through improving the level of self-awareness, increasing self-esteem, self-efficacy, trust and strengthening internal links. The self-social dynamics of citizenship is in the light of the active role of entrepreneurs who actually have a kind of spirituality: non-traditional beliefs, values and attitudes. Entrepreneurs who firmly and sustainably play a role in the direction of important values such as cooperation, job creation, cooperation, social solidarity, responsibility, competence, social trust, trustworthiness, etc.; And therefore, they establish healthy and reinforcing norms in the urban space. What supports the self-social dynamics of citizenship is the active campaign of entrepreneurs who have overcome alienation and individual speculation with non-traditional beliefs, values and attitudes towards important values such as cooperation, job creation, social work, social solidarity, and responsibility. , social trust, trustworthiness, etc., have harmonious actions and words. Because what they say and believe, they also act in the objective field of civil relations of the city; Therefore, they are effective and can set an example.
