Marginalization of poor and uneducated residents has led to fundamental social damage in Iran's large cities, which is manifest in a persistent culture of poverty and lack of access to opportunities and services. Empowering these people is not possible with government resources, and it requires the use of empowerment methods, such as social innovation-based solutions. The purpose of the present study was to propose a social innovation cycle for the marginalized individuals in parts of Tehran, Iran (Farahzad and Khavarshahr) as a sustainable solution to empower them by creating jobs for them. The present study was conducted using the participatory action research methodology to analyze key activities undertaken during the “poultry self-sufficiency” social innovation cycles in four phases: 1. generating ideas by understanding the needs and identifying potential solutions; 2. developing, prototyping, and piloting the ideas; 3. assessing, scaling up, and diffusing the good ideas; and 4. learning and evolving. The results showed that social innovation has the most significant effect when actors in different parts of society contribute and cooperate. According to the results obtained in this study, “poultry self-sufficiency” social innovation lifts the marginalized out of poverty, and the empowerment process helps them to participate in the community.

赋权边缘人群的社会创新参与行动研究

贫困和未受教育居民的边缘化已导致伊朗大城市的根本社会破坏，这体现在持续的贫困文化和缺乏机会和服务的机会。政府资源无法为这些人赋权，这需要使用赋权方法，例如基于社会创新的解决方案。本研究的目的是为伊朗德黑兰部分地区（Farahzad 和 Khavarshahr）的边缘化个人提出一个社会创新周期，作为通过为他们创造就业机会赋予他们权力的可持续解决方案。本研究使用参与式行动研究方法，分析了“家禽自给自足”社会创新周期中的关键活动，分为四个阶段：1。通过了解需求和确定潜在的解决方案来产生想法；2. 开发、原型设计和试验这些想法；3. 评估、推广和传播好创意；4. 学习和进化。结果表明，当社会不同部分的行动者做出贡献和合作时，社会创新的效果最显着。根据本研究得出的结果，“家禽自给自足”社会创新使边缘人群脱贫，赋权过程帮助他们参与社区。结果表明，当社会不同部分的行动者做出贡献和合作时，社会创新的效果最显着。根据本研究得出的结果，“家禽自给自足”社会创新使边缘人群脱贫，赋权过程帮助他们参与社区。结果表明，当社会不同部分的行动者做出贡献和合作时，社会创新的效果最显着。根据本研究得出的结果，“家禽自给自足”社会创新使边缘人群脱贫，赋权过程帮助他们参与社区。
