Abstract: Empowerment planning is beyond the physical attitude toward such contexts while it is based on a system comprising three loops of empowerment, totality of neighborhood and good governance. This pattern includes cooperation between planner, management and neighborhood in which planner tends to strengthen links between neighbor and social capital after creation of empowerment fields and then invites people to involve in preparation and implementation of plan. Finally, planner would implement the plan in the neighborhood that is the place of living in order to evaluate plan feedbacks in neighborhood.
