Social distance is the degree of distance and closeness of individuals and ethnic groups (physical and emotional). Iran is a multi-ethnic society with a different ethnic geographical structure and with diverse ethnic rituals. This has made the existence of social distance a natural thing. The university is home to a variety of ethnic groups. Accordingly, the main purpose of the research is to survey the sociological distance between students. The research method is survey (quantitative) and its tool is a questionnaire. The level of reliability of the variables was confirmed using Cronbach's alpha and the sample size was determined to be 461 using the Cochran's formula. Findings show that the average social distance between men is higher than women; It is more than urban among villagers and more than married among single people. Findings also indicate that the relationship between social capital (trust, cohesion and participation), social prejudice, stereotypes, social discrimination, historical differences and social cognition and awareness with social distance is significant. The regression results show that the coefficient of determination is equal to 0.349.ocial prejudice, stereotypes, social discrimination, historical differences and social cognition and awareness with social distance is significant.

The present paper examines the relationship between access to information and communication technology and satisfaction with these services in two newly built towns of Parand and Pardis. The study is conducted through a survey and aims at examining the effect of modern communication on the organization of newly built towns based on Manuel Castells' theory of network society, Jurgen Habermas' public sphere theory as well as the theories of communication development. The main question addressed is how much access the people living in these newly built towns have to modern communication and information technology and the role of such technology in solving their problems. To this end, 382 people living in these towns were selected (102 individuals from Parand and 280 from Pardis). They completed a questionnaire including 26 questions; then Chi Square and frequency tables were drawn using SPSS. The obtained results indicated that a huge percentage of participants (83%) had a computer at home and around half of the participants (52%) had access to internet at home; however, a tiny percentage of the subjects (17%) had access to broadband internet. A small percentage (21%) reported the use of internet on a daily basis. Cell phones, however, were more popular (98%); they were used mostly for sending and receiving messages, sending and receiving pictures and music files as well as games and entertainment. Finally, the assessment of satisfaction from these services revealed that a large number of people in both towns (52%) were not satisfied with these services.

The Society of Iran has experienced extensively cultural and social changes during recent decades. These changes have been remarkable particularly in the families. One of the most important changes is the changes in lifestyle of adolescents that has brought about serious challenges for families. The challenges that seem to cast doubt on the traditional format of family. The most significant challenge in the families is facing rapid changes of family's norms and values among children and parents so that we can talk of rival norms besides traditional ones.
The Theoretical framework argues emerging new media, expansion of educations and access of people to information in society, the growth of individualism, the effects of reference group and changes of values as the main causes of these changes.
This study has been accomplished through social survey in Tehran (3 and 17 districts) through 398 cases. The statistical techniques were used are dispersion and central indices, bivariate correlations, multivariable regression and path analysis.
Findings indicate that there is some conflict between parents and children lifestyles. The most conflicts spheres are relationships between girls and boys, smoking and alcohol drinking. The least conflicts spheres are praying matters, favorite music listening. Results show that factors such as individualism in children, attitude of adolescents toward modern values and lack of democratic behavior of parents caused conflicts in families.

Basically citizenship without regarding to issues of culture is inconceivable. Creating, expanding and deepening the culture and ethics of citizenship are solutions for many social and urban problems in developing countries. Considering this, the aim of this article is studying factors of civic etic and some of its determining variables. These include social tolerance, seeking participation, citizenship behaviors, interpersonal trust, universalism, accountability, altruism and tendency to follow the law. Using survey method, the correlation was studied among 376 adult citizens of Ivan city. Findings show their grade is average to high, but this does not necessarily ensure their commitment practically. Also there is a meaningful correlation among religious beliefs and feelings of anomie and commitment to citizenship culture. Finally some suggestions are included.

Abstract This article aims to examine the factors influencing tendency towards active social citizenship of citizens 18 years and older in YazdProvince. This research was carried out in the form of a survey, and questionnaires were used to gather data. The sample size was estimated at 650 people who reside in the counties (shahrestan) of Yazd, Taft, Bafgh and Behabad. The results show that the mean of tendency towards active social citizenship is 3.45, which is somehow more than the middle extent in the 1 to 5 grade continuum. Stepwise regression results show that the variables of social trust, social efficacy, the level of education and gender had a significant impact on tendency towards active social citizenship; in total, 23% of changes in active social citizenship are explained by these four variables. Furthermore, the variables of attitude to political system and the feeling of having citizenship rights had an indirect impact on tendency towards active social citizenship.

A Comparative Study between Place and out of Place Concepts in City Social Development with an Environmental Psychology Approach Alireza Bandarabad[1] Received: 9/9/2017 Accepted: 9/1/2018 Abstract The aim of environmental design is the creation of places. But in the meantime, "out of places" is also important. With this starting point, questions are asked about the definition, recognition, foundation, and location of places and outside them, so that identifying and explaining the imagination of the place would be at the top of the affair. Are only "places" booming, or "out of places" are also dynamic and refreshing? In this study in order to find an answer, the two seemingly distinct concept of "place" and "out of place" in the city are compared in a comparative perspective of environmental psychology. In this context, the physical image, activities and meanings are raw materials of the place identity and the dialectics between them is the structural relationship between this identity, which is sometimes felt to occur in "out of places." In this research, applying qualitative content analysis methods and by through analyzing the data extracted by the field studies method, the concept of place in the city is discussed in order to identify its constituent criteria. These criteria are used to evaluate "out of place" in the city to answer the question why "out of places" in the city are sometimes as important as "places". The results of this study, which are mainly based on the qualitative content analysis method, show that efforts to remove "out-of-place" phenomena in cities are not completely positive.

Study of the Impacts of Unemployment on the Delayed Marriage of Young People in Tehran Rasol Sadeghi[1] , Mohammad Shekofteh Gohari[2] Received: 26/12/2016 Accepted: 5/2/2017 Abstract Unemployment significantly affects demographic processes such as marriage, divorce, fertility, and migration. The purpose of this paper is to examine the unemployment experience and its impacts on the delay in marriage of young men in Tehran using a combination research method (quantitative and qualitative data). In this regard, the article first uses a secondary analysis of 2011 micro-census data in Tehran to test the effect of employment status and unemployment on marriage delays, then, applying a qualitative research method and in-depth interview with 27 young single unemployed, studying the experience of youth unemployment And its consequences in the area of marriage delays. The quantitative results showed that the probability of being single among unemployed people is about eight times higher than those employed. By controlling other independent variables, unemployment also has a strong impact on probability of being single. The qualitative findings reveal five main categories of job identity, luxury/ materialism, abandonment, job insecurity, and rationality in deciding whether to delay marriage. As the result of the research it can be understand that unemployment and job insecurity leads to high uncertainty about the future, so that the young men decide to delay marriage until an unknown future.

Challenges of Social Policy in the Field of Housing and it’s Effect on the Formation of Social Anomalies (Case Study on Prand Mehr Housing) Fariborz Mohammadi[1] , Satar Parvin[2] , Yaser Rastegar[3] Receive: 30/10/2017 Accept: 13/2/2018 Abstract “Mehr Housing” is the home-building policy of the government in recent years for those citizens who do not have house. It seems that the lack of planning and ignoring the social and cultural issues in the formation and construction of” Mehr Housing” by decision makers, will lead to the emergence of social anomalies in the future. The concept of “House", in addition to the physical location, also covers the entire residential environment, which includes all the essential services and facilities needed for the well-being of families. Making Minimal Housing for Citizens, without paying attention to its social damages, can encounter the society with major challenges which require a lot of costs to solve. The present paper seeks to use the descriptive-analytical method and utilizes various theories of social policy, social anomalies in relation to residential environment, urban ecology and Social disorganization, deals with the challenges of social policy in the field of “Parand Mehr Housing”. It focuses on identifying and measuring the impact of social policy components on the formation of social anomalies among its inhabitants. In order to achieve this, by using Pearson correlation coefficient, regression analysis and path analysis of correlation coefficient, the effect and the direction of influence of these components have been measured based on research hypotheses.The results indicate that social anomalies among residents of " Mehr House" have been created due to the lack of access to the components: sense of belonging, leisure and recreation , monitoring and control, communication and social interactions, social capital, cultural consensus, access to work and employment And cultural per capita Which has largely been ignored and emerged in the study area.

The present study aims to asses the rate of social capital as well as the factors affecting it among female pre-university students of Shiraz. The research questions are: ‘What is the total rate of social capital among female pre-university students of Shiraz?’ and ‘What are the sociological factors affecting social capital?’ Using random and multistage cluster sampling, 400 students were selected. The data were collected through questionnaires. Theoretical framework of the research is based on social capital-related theories ofFrancis Fukuyama, Robert Putnam and Coleman.The results showed that the average of social capitalat individual and primary group levelsas well as institutional, organizational, provincial, and national levels is 59.8%. Among the three levels of the dependent variable, the micro-level of social capital has the highest average (70%).

Political trust of people in the state is a prerequisite for better governing, development and meeting people's needs. While controlling country is no more possible with coercive power, Nowadays state cannot rule without people's trust and protection. Regarding scientific theories, an effective factor on rising political trust is satisfaction of life and social welfare.
This article is based on a survey which was gathered from a sample of 441 residents of Tehran in 2007. The data indicates that political trust of 52 percent of respondents is high and 32 percent of them is medium.

Five hypotheses which take in to account the people’s attitudes towards state and its performance for providing their Social welfare, life satisfaction and life expectancy are confirmed. Findings show that if state wants to enhance people trust, it has to try for providing them social welfare and meet their satisfaction.

An equitable education system can offset the impact of economic and social inequalities and in the context of education allow individuals to make the most of education regardless of their background. According to the constitution in Iran, education up to the secondary level is free, but due to privatization, this has not only not been achieved but has also led to the reproduction of educational inequality. Accordingly, the theoretical framework of this research is the views of Bulls and Gentis; The idea of incompatibility/agreement, Bourdieu and the theory of reproduction; Michael W. Apple; Critical pedagogy, all of which provide critical insight into educational inequality. Therefore, we used the experiences of high school principals in Sanandaj as a basis for theoretical and experimental analysis to explain the situation of contextual, causal, and interventions of how to reproduce educational inequality, according to which 8 educational principals were interviewed. Continuous data analysis and comparison techniques were used to analyze the data. The results showed that increasing tuition costs acted as a precondition for outsourcing public education and a decrease in educational equity as causal conditions for educational inequality. Also, the economic orientation of private schools as intervening conditions in differentiating the educational sector at the individual, family, and spatial-urban levels is another factor and consequence of this educational inequality.

AbstractWith the reduction of fertility to below-replacement level and increasing the challenges and conflicts between the interests and attitudes of individuals and families, the informal support has significant impact in removing childbearing barriers. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of informal support on desire to have children using social support theory. The statistical population of the study is women with a wife and at least one child aged under five years in Nowshahr and Chalous cities. Data were collected by conducting a survey among 362 women. The findings show that 47% of mothers desire to have another child. The findings of our multivariate analysis indicate that such supportive variables as the amount of assistance received by the spouse in housework, receiving assistance in housework from the parent-in-law and frequency of face-to-face communication with parents -in-law have increased the desire of mothers to have another child . In addition, the results in relation to supportive indicators indicate that the potential support index did not have a significant relationship with the desire to have more children, but receiving high levels of instrumental support had an impact on increasing the desire to have another child. In general, the relationship between social support theory and childbearing can be partially confirmed. The results of supportive variables affecting the desire to have another child.

Sense of security as a psychosocial phenomenon is affected by several variables. The present study is the result of a research done on the role of social identity of women in their sense of social security. The study benefits from theories made by Giddens and Jenkins and tries to examine 7 hypotheses and sub-hypotheses. Questionnaire was used to collect the required data from women under 18 years old.
The findings of the study demonstrated that 52% of the statistical sample has high, 34.3% has average, and 13.7% has low levels of sense of security. The amount of life security is more than financial one. Examination of hypotheses showed that those who have stronger social religious concerns benefit from higher levels of sense of social security. The study did not prove any relation between the basic trust and sense of security.

The aim of this study was to identify the adaptation policies of people without identity documents living in informal settlements in Mashhad in the field of access to education, health, housing, employment and social security. present study, the contextual theory method, which is one of the methods of qualitative data analysis, has been used to analyze the data. The statistical population of the study was the study of all people without identity documents living in informal settlements in the municipal areas of Mashhad , who had lived in these areas for at least five years. Findings showed that the problems and deprivations of people without identity cards are summed up in "their low ability to take advantage of the opportunities that society has provided for members with an identity card." The lack of education and formal marriage, lack of community welfare facilities and services, unsustainable employment and turning to low-income and manual jobs are among the most important deprivations and problems in the lives of people without identity documents; As a result, individuals without identity documents have formed a skeptical community due to their structural position and in order to solve their problems and deprivations. These people have been able to create a situation in this community to solve their problems and apply various welfare policies in different areas in order to improve their welfare.

The human capital is defined as knowledge, skills, and other abilities that will lead to improvement in the quality and level of production. The capital achieved at younger ages would have stronger effects on progress at later ages. Family has shown to have a crucial influence on the achievement of human capital and investment in this field. Iranian families are now experiencing a low level of fertility, improvements in the education of parents, and a relatively high level of family dissolution. Using data drawn from the Time Use Survey (conducted in the years 2008-2009), this paper aims to examine the effects of the number of children on the achievement of human capital by young children in urban areas of Iran. Target population includes 2183 never-married children aged 15-19 years. Findings show a negative relationship between the number of children and the achievement of human capital. A sharper difference exists between families with one or two children and families with three and more children. Multivariate analyses show the significant effects of the sex and age of children, and the mother's level of education. The presence of such control variables, however, does not change the effect of the number of children. The results can suggest the sustainability of low family size (two-child family) in future.

The precise question in this research is which financial resources are at women disposal in the family? Can they make financial decisions? Answering these questions, a theoretical framework based on Bordiou, Giddens’s and Hakim’s view was made and a mixed method of qualitative and survey was designed. In the qualitative phase data was gathered by using semi structured interviews; and a questionnaire was designed to gather data in the second phase. There are four types of financial resources for women: 1- domestic money 2- pin money 3- heritage 4-salary. Salary is the only income which is not due to women’s traditional social roles. According to data women cannot make decision for important financial matters. It doesn’t seem that by increasing women’s financial resources, the same trend about their supervision on these resources happens. But by increasing women’s access to financial resources, shared decision makings on key financial matters between couples was seen.

This study investigates the relationship between levels of happiness among marginalized and non-marginalized people of Tabriz and forms of their capital. In order to measure the happiness levels a survey applying an Oxford Happiness Questionnaire among 300 people through multistage cluster sampling was done. Findings show moderate to high levels of happiness among the subjects and different types of capital (social, cultural and economic) have significant and positive relationship with happiness. Also the regression results indicate that the independent variables were entered into the study explained 14% of the variance in happiness. Results suggest that social and cultural capital plays a major role in levels of happiness but economical capital has a little role in explanation of happiness among the marginal and non-marginalized in Tabriz. According to the findings economical capital is also significant and effective but in order to increase happiness and subjective well-being of study subjects, the focus of policy making and cultural planning should be more on social and cultural capital.

Accordingly, the social analysis and analysis of the effects of these programs on the failure of families in Tehran (apart from all other effective factors on family breakdown) is the main objective of this paper. The theoretical framework include the theory of dependency, the theory of uses and satisfactions, and finally the theory of planting in the field of communication and media. this research applies analytical-descriptive survey type. The method of collecting the field information and its tool is a researcher made questionnaire. A sample of 137 people from the Farsi-language satellite network program is randomly selected among those who are in some way involved with the issue of disputes, tensions, and family-related complaints, and some of them have referred to the court for this reason. The validity of the questionnaire was obtained by using its rationale and its reliability through Cronbach's alpha (alpha coefficient total 0/894). The results of the research indicate that there is a relationship between watching Persian-language programs of satellite networks and families of families in Tehran. In addition, the results of the research show that Persian-language satellite programs that promote illegal relationships, such as: serials that promote free sexual relations directly and indirectly, affect breakdown of families.

Internet, as a media, with an astounding growth in recent years has had significant impacts on human social life. The present paper aimed to investigate the role of internet on users’ social capital in cyberspaces and non cyberspaces. The bonding and bridging dimensions of social capital in cyberspaces and non cyberspaces were focused. It was a survey study and the research instrument was questionnaire. 313 subjects were selected by stratified random sampling method from among the students of ShahidChamranUniversity. The results showed that therewas a significant and positive relation between duration of using Internet and societal using of Internet with social capital (bonding/bridging) in cyberspaces. Therewas also a significant and negative relation between duration of using Internet and social capital (bonding/bridging) in non cyberspaces. Therewas no significant relation between societal using of Internet and social capital (bonding/bridging) in non cyberspaces. Moreover, therewas a negative and significant relation between social capital in cyberspaces and that of non cyberspaces. It indicates that increase in social capital in cyberspace leads to decrease in social capital in non cyberspace.

In a world at risk of emerging crises, modern governments need the presence and subsidiary participation. Due to their high capacity and motivation, student groups are one of the most important components of participation in aid activities. The aim of this study is exploring and detection the barriers and challenges of student support actions in Covid 19 among student groups in Yazd. The present study is a qualitative study based on framework analysis in which the participants are 15 student groups who worked actively in the first and second coronavirus waves in Yazd. The findings showed that these groups face multidimensional internal and external challenges in the face of crisis. The five themes extracted are: The politicization of administrators, low level of social capital of groups, the group's staff challenge, institutional neglect and repression, and ultimately exhaustion. As a result, it can be said that policy makers should pay more attention to the high role and capacity of student groups in the crisis and take action to improve their knowledge and skills in this field. The most important strategy in this regard is to eliminate politicization in such actions, especially in times of crisis. Also, the society needs to promote the public culture in order to be more responsible and the culture of dialogue and tolerance, especially in crises.
