This study aimed to investigate the pattern of electricity consumption of Kerman citizens and its sociological explanation. The statistical population of the study included all household electricity subscribers in Kerman, of which 383 people were selected as a statistical sample using a simple random sampling method. In the present study, the face validity method and Cronbach's test were used to ensure the validity and reliability of the content of the questionnaire. SPSS software and Pearson statistical tests and analysis of variance were used to analyze the data. Findings showed that there was a significant relationship between knowledge of optimal patterns of electricity consumption (Specified patterns of the electricity department), awareness of the consequences of excessive electricity consumption, social support, social trust and feelings of insecurity with the pattern of electricity consumption. There was also a significant difference in the average electricity consumption pattern of respondents in terms of education, marital status, age, number of household members and length of residence and no significant difference in the average electricity consumption pattern of subscribers according to type of housing and area of residence. Finally, it was found that the strongest predictor of electricity consumption pattern variable is the awareness of optimal consumption patterns, so it is possible to improve the consumption pattern by increasing citizens' awareness in this area.

The capacity to acquire, interpret and understand health information to make decisions about health-promoting behaviors can be defined as the purposeful relationship of this study.The theoretical approach of agency has been proposed with emphasis on opportunity and choice to analyze variables and explain the findings.The methodology of this research is descriptive and correlational and the statistical population of citizens over 18 years of age in urban areas of Mashhad based on a sample of 650 people in terms of volume appropriate to each region is considered a simple random.The standardized questionnaire, judges' agreement was used to achieve content validity and reliability coefficient of health literacy (0.822) and health-promoting behaviors (0.800).The results indicate that based on the spatial analysis of clustering, the average health literacy status was better than the health-promoting behaviors in general and distinctly in urban areas.status of the dependent variable in urban areas has not been very favorableBackground variables did not have a significant relationship with the main variables of the research.The extent and intensity of the relationships between the main and secondary hypotheses are significantly less than0.05 on average and above.The beta regression results show that the functional,communication, critical and basic components with the value of 69% correlation coefficient, respectively,had the greatest effect on the dependent variable. Also,the results of the prediction equation can explain49% of the variance of the dependent variable.

Social security of immigrants and citizens after entering the Iranian society has created challenges for them and the Social Security Organization.Therefore.Qualitative research method and the study population were all citizens referring to the General Department of Social Security in West Tehran.The sample was selected in a "targeted" and "theoretical" way, which after interviewing 50 of them, the theoretical saturation was obtained.By analyzing the data and analyzing the data, 425 primary codes, 97 sub-categories and 14 main categories were extracted.The central phenomenon of"poverty of knowledge of laws and services"is social security.The causal conditions governing the central phenomenon are"deprivation of labor/ employer rights, weakness of job status and ambiguity in the status quo".Existing areas are"inequality in the provision of insurance services,weak financial means of citizens and strict immigration laws", which are influenced by the intervening conditions of"poor assessment/performance of the Social Security Organization, inferiority and negative self-concept of citizenship and politics."Expert evaluations"affect the central phenomenon.Strategies adopted by citizens are"equivalent communication and actions and survival security policy" with consequences such as"incompatibility of citizens/laws, equal protection of social security and identification of citizens."are. The results of this study show that paying attention to the evaluation/performance of relevant organizations in order to eliminate discrimination against citizens and provide knowledge packages in order to raise their awareness of social security rights and regulations can be part of their challenges.
