Abstract
We are living in an era that decentralization in administering countries is reckoned as the cause of many problems. In many societies, the increasing number of citizens and politicians believe that decentralization can make their society more stable, democratic and economically advanced. Therefore, the aim of this research is to examine the relationship between administrative decentralization and public governance and that how variables of public accountability and public trust can affect on this relationship. The research is a kind of descriptive study in type of survey. Statistical sample of the research included 300 people who were selected by multi-stages clustering sampling and based on Cochran's formula. SPSS software was used to measure the reliability of the questionnaire and implementing descriptive statistics. Structural equations modeling method and software of Amos and Lisrel were utilized to test the research's hypotheses. Results indicated that there is a relationship between administrative decentralization and public governance indirectly and through two moderator variables of public accountability and public trust.
