The purpose of this study is to understand the lived experience of urban poor of the causes affecting poverty. The research method was grounded theory and the study population included the heads of urban poor households living in districts 17, 18 and 19 of Tehran Municipality. Sampling was initially purposeful and continued until the stage of theoretical saturation. As a result, the nuclear category emerged as social exclusion from the labor market. Findings based on the paradigm model of the research were divided into five axes (causal conditions, intervening conditions and contextual conditions, strategies and consequences). In this article, the causal conditions of exclusion from the labor market are discussed. According to the participants, causal conditions include four main categories: economic capital weakness, human capital weakness, unfavorable economic conditions and unfavorable employment conditions. According to the findings, many urban poor living in the study areas had a history of rural poverty, the most obvious aspect of which is the weakness of economic and human capital. Also, their employment conditions in the city are very much affected by unfavorable economic conditions (such as: economic sanctions, outbreak of coronary heart disease, mechanization of production and provision of services and the presence of foreign nationals) and unfavorable employment conditions to the extent that these conditions have led to the perpetuation of inter generational poverty.

The purpose of this study is spatial analysis of urban poverty at the level of statistical blocks of Bijar city. The present study is descriptive-analytical in nature and applied according to its purpose. Data were extracted from the statistical blocks of the Statistics Center and Gis software was used to classify the data. Also, due to the fact that the studied indicators were negative and positive, depending on the direction of each indicator, the positive or negative relationship of the fuzzy scaling method in Excel software was used. First, 12 indicators of economic poverty were scaled by fuzzy method and called in Gis software environment and spatially analyzed by hot spot method and Moran autocorrelation. According to the zoning map produced, it can be said that 259 urban blocks, which account for 27.80% of the city's population, are located in a very prosperous urban area, 279 blocks with 33.16% of the urban population in the area Prosperous, 497 blocks and 37.31 percent of the population in the middle zone and finally the poor and very poor zone with a total of 274 blocks and 1.7 percent of the population. Based on the results of Moran's autocorrelation method, it can be said that the distribution of poverty indicators is a cluster pattern, so that strong areas of urban poverty have shifted to the northeast.
