Abstract
This study aims to identify poverty at the mahalla level and improve the targeted financial assistance system. The purpose of the study is to form a ‘poverty profile’ for each mahalla, analyze the causes of poverty, and differentiate forms of assistance on this basis. The methodology uses differential, complex, and systematic approaches, and population categories are studied based on questionnaires and statistical data. Types of poverty are determined by factors such as unemployment, health, education, financial illiteracy, or debt. Appropriate assistance mechanisms have been developed for each profile. The study proposes a conceptual model that allows analyzing poverty at the mahalla level and effectively directing targeted assistance. This model serves to improve social policy at the local level.
