Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to present scenarios of innovative citizen participation in order to achieve an innovative economy and strategies to achieve a desirable future in the city of Mashhad.
Method: To do the research, first the initial variables were identified based on theoretical foundations. Then, using the cross-impact matrix method, the key variables were determined with the help of Mic-Mac software. Finally, consistent scenarios are obtained through the method of possible adjusted trends.
Findings: Based on the research findings, first the stability and instability of the system was obtained with Mic-Mac and ten key variables with a high impact factor were selected from the initial twenty variables. Eighteen compatible scenarios are extracted from the Scenario Wizard software, 10 of which show the favorable situation, three the current situation and two scenarios the unfavorable situation.
Conclusion: The result indicates that the current situation of innovative citizen participation in order to achieve an innovative economy is relatively unfavorable and far from the desired situation, so city managers should consider the areas of citizen participation in the development of innovative economy by investing in information and communication technology infrastructure, expansion of science and technology parks, electronic education and information of citizens, urban planning based on new approaches of creative and innovative cities in order to provide favorable conditions for wealth production based on knowledge economy, employing innovative and innovative human resources in the executive body of urban, etc.
