Transparency, as a cornerstone of good governance, plays a vital role in enhancing efficiency and public trust by facilitating free access to information and reducing corruption. It fosters accountability and responsiveness by increasing interaction between the government and citizens. Case studies in various countries demonstrate that effective implementation of transparency and public participation has led to improved decision-making processes and enhanced quality of public services. For instance, in Denmark, the combination of transparency and public participation has helped strengthen governance and reduce corruption. In Sweden, freedom of information and governmental transparency have increased public trust, and in New Zealand, citizen participation in governance processes has led to improved decision-making quality. This article addresses the primary legal and regulatory challenges facing the implementation of transparency and good governance standards in Iran’s administrative system, the role of information transparency in reducing corruption and enhancing accountability within Iran’s administrative system, how access to public information is managed in this system, and finally, the importance of public and citizen participation in governance processes in Iran, along with an explanation of the social and cultural barriers to deepening this participation in governmental decision-making. The findings of this study indicate that given the existing challenges in Iran’s administrative system, such as a lack of transparency and limited citizen participation, it is imperative for the government to reform laws and regulations to create an appropriate environment for increasing transparency and public participation. These measures can lead to strengthening good governance, reducing corruption, and enhancing the quality of public services.
