This paper surveys the sense of identity in children without birth certification and the numerous problems they face with it. As there are not so many surveys conducted on this and nowadays the birth certification is known as one of the standards and requirements of living in modern societies, this paper seeks to explore the influence of birth certification and its role in the life of children,. Due to the lack of prior research in this field, Grounded Theory was used and the sampling was targeted. The research data were collected through individually interviewing and group discussions with 21 children without birth registration, living in Khak-Sefid and Darvaze-Ghaar regions, Tehran, Iran; were held. Research findings show child’s lack of identity establishment. Children without birth certification consider having a birth certification as the factor of accessing to liberation and enjoying social rights. Lack of birth certification makes them confronting many problems, such as lack of access to welfare, training and educational facilities, dropouts, sense of humiliation, powerlessness and absurdity. Finally, these problems cause difficulties in one’s identity, identification process and self-discovery in the society.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the social construction of border – trading and the way it is interpreted and represented from the viewpoints of border-residents. The data collected through in-depth – interview, participant observation and documentary evidences. Then, the grounded theory methodology was used to analyze the data. Based on purposive and theoretical sampling, 22 participants were interviewed until the theoretical saturation was achieved. 30 concepts and 4 main categories extracted from data upon which a core concept was constructed. The main categories include: Ecological Context, Economic Impasses, Kinship / Trans- cultural Affiliation and Reactionary Policies of Government. The core category was taken to be “Less-Development” which covers all main concepts and categories.
The grounded theory model is presented in paradigmatic model consisting of three main components: Contexts, Interactions, and Consequences. According to findings, the phenomena of border – trading, as a historical and contextual construct, arises from the people’s reaction to geographical, cultural, political and economic impasses / opportunities. In other words, the semantic construction of border residents indicates that the border – trading could be taken into account as an inevitable strategy used by people involved to manage their life and to cope with underdevelopment of the region.

This article explores experienced theoretical rotation of the concept of poverty towards the construct of social exclusion structure, by usage of historical and documentary methods. Replacing social exclusion instead of poverty is based on the argument that the concept of social exclusion is a dynamic concept which both refers to processes and also the position of it and make a multidimensional range with economic, social, political and cultural aspects also is considered suitable for studying structural changes. In other words, this concept more appropriately shows multidimensional characteristic of mechanisms in which people and group put aside from social exchanges, activities and the creative rights of solidarity and social identity. It generally considers something beyond the social inequalities through emphasizing on the hazards of existing gap in social context. Also exclusion as multi-dimensional and multi-level concept can encompass the social dichotomy and includes some mechanisms by which the individuals and groups have been kept apart from social change, rights and productive activity that led to social cohesion and identity. This mechanism actively or passively can lead to social exclusion. Today social exclusion is related to various values and opinions and also diverse paradigms such as correlation paradigm, paradigm of specialization and monopoly paradigm has been used to explain it. Regarding these paradigms, social exclusion is a complex and multifaceted concept and relates to both individuals and communities and focuses on emerging social issues such as globalization, its economic and social outcomes and processes resulting in exclusion and isolation of individuals, social groups or regions.

This research investigates the factors affecting social security in Yasouj and Hamadan. Results show that social trust and religiosity are the most influential factors. The hypothesis is analyzed using a multivariate regression model and among the sample of 750 individuals aged 18 years and over, the following results are included: In the study of security dimensions, feeling political security and feeling of security in the city in Hamadan, is more than that of Yasouj. But feeling the economic security and sense of physical security in the city in Yasouj is more than that of Hamadan. The relationship between religiosity and political security, security in the city and economic security in both cities was confirmed, the relationship of generalized trust with political and economic security was confirmed in both cities too, and shows a stronger relationship in Hamadan. Trusting official authorities in Yasouj with all four dimensions of social security feeling has made a meaningful relationship. The relationship of trust with unofficial authorities with all aspects of security in Yasouj is meaningful but in Hamadan, the relationship between politics and security in the city is very weak. The relationship between trus in friends and feeling of security in the city is significant in Yasouj, but in Hamadan, this kind of trust is significant only in terms of the sense of security in the city and politics, and this relationship is weaker in Hamadan. The relationship between trust in friends and feeling of economic-political dimension and in the city security is significant in Yasouj, but in Hamadan this kind of trust is significant only in terms of the sense of security in the city and politics, and this relationship is weaker in Hamadan.

Islam has always commanded its followers to acquire material (acceptable and legitimate) gifts. This study was conducted to investigate the religiosity and economic success of the wealthy in Tehran. The approach of Weber, Rodinson and Jamo has been used as a theoretical approach. The study population is all wealthy people living in Tehran. The sampling method was snowball. The data collection tool was in-depth individual interviews. A sample size of 15 people was selected, which was possible based on theoretical saturation criteria. The collected data were analyzed using content analysis coding. Based on this, 524 open and primary codes, 52 sub-categories and 8 main categories were extracted, which we classified into two categories of definite and fixed categories and relative and sensitive categories. The findings show that the studied religious people express their religiosity in "Wafiq" meaning adherence to religion, economy and social man, denial of symbolic self-egalitarianism, network support, understanding of position (definite categories), network identity ، Poverty, voluntary restraint, continuous evaluation / performance of activities (relative and sensitive categories) and therefore reproduce their economic success within the framework of a kind of benevolent rationality. The results show that religious people, by rejecting cost / utilitarian relations and avoiding economic man, manifest themselves as a kind of religious / social man whose criterion is benevolent rationality and bill of choice.

Security is considered as the most significant necessity and the most essential base for existence and survival of human communities. In fact, if a person feels that no risk threatens his/her life, properties and health, he/she will achieve social security feeling. The purpose of this research is to investigate the relationship between social capital as an independent variable and social security feeling among mothers of educable mental retarded children who are trained in Exceptional Schools of Islamshahr city in the education year of 2010-2011. In this research, social capital was assessed enjoying Putnam theory in three aspects of social relations, trust and participation in collective actions. And social security feeling was evaluated according to Chalabi theory in four aspects of property, life, group and intellectual security. Statistical population included mothers of educable mental retarded children who are trained in Exceptional Schools of Islamshahr city in the years 2010-2011. Since the number of statistic population was low, complete coverage of population (218 qualified mothers) were interviewed. The findings indicate the low level of social capital and social security feeling in the mentioned population. There is also meaningful and positive correlation between social capital and social security feeling. The results of regression analysis show that 38% of changes of social security are explained by independent variables as well. The results of path analysis indicate that the variables of basic trust and duration of marriage, the number of children and level of education have relationship with social security feeling.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of using social networks in women's empowerment. The present study was a quantitative method that was conducted on the staff of Islamic Azad University, Science and Research Branch of Tehran.Women in the study population have a high level (34.66%) of using social networks. The total correlation and severity of the relationship between the variable of using virtual social networks and the components of empowerment in women was 0.677 and was confirmed at a significance level of 0.05, which indicates a significant relationship. There is a strong link between the use of virtual social networks by women and their empowerment. The use of social networks also improves their empowerment by increasing women's knowledge, reducing their isolation and increasing social participation. The value of correlation coefficient (R) between the variables was 0.797, which indicates a strong relationship between independent and dependent variables. Overall, the research findings indicate that social networks are one of the most effective methods in empowering women in the present age and its effects on creating social change in women can be proven.

Today, many planning experts and theorists of regional sciences acknowledge the fact that urban area, in addition to villages and towns, has become a new form of settlement for mankind. There are main structural and functional differences between urban areas and villages/towns. Urban areas are of some potentialities, the realization of which requires an appropriate knowledge of urban areas and a correct way of determination of urban area limits, and subsequently, adequate planning and management. It is evident that an appropriate planning of urban areas is feasible through scientificly determining their borders. In Iran, urban areas have been recognized since 1995, and various efforts have been made to determine them scientifically. In practice, however, it seems that the determination of the areas are mainly based on political-administrative divisions. Since Tehran urban area is the largest urban zone in all over the country and has national and international functions, any planning and policy-making for that are requires precise and scientific determination of its urban limits. The present research studied the current commonly-used methods, and then proposed ‘factor analysis’ as a complementary method for determination of the limits of Tehran urban area based on socioeconomic indicators the analysis of indicators. 50 socioeconomic indicators at township level were obtained, and then a factor analysis was performed using SPSS software. Finally, the results were linked to GIS map of Tehran province, and after various layers had been prepared, the output of the research was obtained within the frameworks of a thematic map. This study revealed that taking use of factor analysis, the limits of Tehran urban area are the same as those of Tehran province excluding Firoozkouh and Nazarabad townships.

Health is one of the most fundamental elements of welfare and social health, as an aspect of man's health, depends more on social and economic factors than on medical interventions of physicians and nurses. Therefore, the main purpose of this research is to study the relationship between social health and the way leisure time, as a social, economic and cultural factor, is spent. This study reports a panel survey with a random-multistage sampling method. The sample included 235 young people from Bostanabad in the age range of 15-29. The findings of the research revealed that social health in the research population was average and there was a statistically significant relationship and a direct positive correlation between satisfaction from leisure time (sig = 0.000) (r = 0.294), and spending leisure time on social (sig = 0.000) (r = 0.350) and practical-physical activities (sig = 0.004) (r = 118). The results show that satisfaction from leisure time and spending leisure time on social and practical-physical activities have a positive impact on people's social health.

In designing developments plans, considering women and family issues is a required policy. Having a critical look at former development plans in Iran is one of the necessary pre-conditions for designing local models of developments. The present paper first reviews the literature of development and then, with an emphasis on the issue of family and women, analyzes the discourse of third, fourth and fifth developments plans. Hybrid discourse analyses are done with Laclau and Mouffe and Fairclough approaches. The third and fourth development plans are attributed to the reformist discourse and the fifth development plan is attributed to the conservative discourse. The emphasis of reformist discourse is on the signs of ‘reforms’, ‘political development’ and ‘civil society’. In contrast, the emphasis of conservative discourse is on other signs, including: ‘constitutional law’, ‘economic development’, ‘justice’, ‘moral and religious values’, and ‘independency’. In the domain of gender development, the reformist discourse adopts a mixture of empowering, gender and development approaches. However, the conservative discourse has a critical look at the main approaches in development theories and tries to define local theories of women and family issues with an approach of familism.

Achieving development is one of the important goals of planners and policy makers in underdeveloped societies. To this end, the governing systems of many countries around the world try to establish a purposeful relationship between the higher education system and the goals of development management in countries. This research, which has been developed with the aim of developing a role model for the university in the framework of collaborative governance, is exploratory and is applied in terms of the type of qualitative approach and in terms of orientation. The statistical population of the study is the top 13 universities in the country (faculty members with a history of executive positions in the country's governing system) that 16 people have been selected as sample members by purposeful sampling and snowball sampling method until the theoretical saturation is reached. It should be noted that the data collection tool is a semi-structured interview that the four criteria of Goba and Lincoln have been used to check the reliability of the findings. The results show that stimuli (4 factors), contexts (5 factors), participation capacities (4 factors), common motivations (4 factors), common values (5 factors) and outputs and consequences (5 factors) Have been identified as indicators of the university's role in the framework of collaborative governance.

The aim of this study (2012) is to investigate the relationship between the sense of security and trust. This research is based on the theoretical approach of Giddens. Giddens believes that the new world has brought about non-reassuring and unsecured situation. So trust will provide the formation of security and if trust is not grown, it will be fears and feelings of security. Target population of this research included all Arak citizens. Technique of data collection is based on questionnaire. Sampling method is stratified random and sample size is 400. In this article, sense of security is measured in the four dimensions of financial, physical, intellectual and collective and the relationship of each of these dimensions are measured separately with trust variable. The results of this study indicate that there is a significant relationship between trust and sense of security. Since generalized trust has a stronger statistical correlation with sense of security in comparison with other dimensions, the proposed solutions for increase social trust are provided in order to increase the sense of security.

مساله توسعه پایدار در گرو مشارکت بهینه و موثر زنان در عرصه های مختلف اجتماعی است. صرف نظر از برخی موانع ساختاری، دستیابی به موقعیت موثر برای ایفای نقشهای مورد انتظار از زنان در گرو امکان رقابت برابر است. یکی از سیاستهایی که با فرض نبود موانع دستیابی حقوقی مورد نظر است، سیاست تبعیض مثبت است. تبعیض مثبت/ اقدام مثبت به مجموعه قوانین، سیاستها و آیین نامهها و فرآیندهایی گفته میشود که با هدف قرارگیری گروههای نابرخوردار در موضع برابر با گروههای برخوردار وضع می شود. از زمان برنامه سوم توسعه بصورت رسمی بخشی مربوط به زنان در برنامهها در نظر گرفته شده اما با وجود سیاستهای مختلفی که برای ورود زنان به بحث توسعه مدنظر بوده همچنان مسائلی در این حوزه مطرح است. در این مطالعه به روش تحلیل محتوای کیفی به بررسی اسناد سیاستگذاری در حوزهای آموزش، اشتغال از منظر تبعیض مثبت پرداختهشد. نتایج نشان می دهد که سیاستهای حوزه تبعیض مثبت در درجه اول مبتنی بر رویکرد آشتی نقش، در درجه دوم مبتنی بر توانمندسازی و در درجه سوم بر مبنای اصلاحات ساختاری به سمت تشابه حقوقی زن و مرد بوده است؛ اما این سیاستها بدلیل فقدان وفاق در سطح گفتمانی، فقدان وجود زیرساختهای لازم نه تنها قابلیت اجرا نیافته بلکه از حیث شمولیت تنها دو گروه از زنان شامل زنان نخبه و زنان محروم مورد توجه سیاستگذار بودهاند.

Abstract Theoretically, the present paper is made up of some competing or alternative theories of white-collar crimes, including Hirschi & Stark’s theory of the Hellfire, Collins and Schmidt’s theory of personality correlates of white-collar crimes, James William Coleman’s sociological theory of corruption, and finally Cornish and Clark’s economic theory of white-collar crimes. In order to test the hypotheses extracted from the above mentioned theories, a representative sample of 120 prisoners of economic crimes currently incarcerated in Evin prison were selected. Since the present study is of a causal-comparative or quasi-experimental nature, a group of 120 managers currently active in Iranian corporations and official departments also responded to the research questionnaires. The logistic regression analysis accounted for 75 percent of the variance between the two groups. According to our analysis, despite enjoying a high level of religiosity and religious background, the economic criminals under the study have committed crimes. Moreover using a cost-benefit analysis before or during the crime commission, they (compared with the non-criminal group) had underestimated the probability of being caught and also that of certainty and severity of the punishments. Finally, they had committed crime according to their individual’s perception of the levels of criminal opportunity available in their workplace, an opportunity not to be missed out. Key Concepts: economic crimes, religious socialization, opportunity for committing crime, probability of crime being caught. scientific orientation, altogether accounted for 40 percent of changes in the variable of young women’s economic consumption. The results of the study indicate that approximately 53% of women have a moderate to high tendency to modernity, and this percentage reflects the state of transition from tradition to modernity in Iran. Among the women with a tendency to modernity, whenever modernism rate was higher, i.e. when this variable existed as an array of valuable resources such as risk-taking, academic orientation, progressivism and universality (dimensions of modernity) in different aspects of social life of women, it meant that women will experience more different lifestyles.

This study aims to study Effective factors for life quality of Elderly in Khomein. Life quality has two dimensions; objective and subjective. The subjective dimension includes good feeling and satisfaction while objective dimension includes meeting cultural and social needs for material, physical and social welfare. The feeling dependency of elderly on his/her family and the rate of their respect in family indicate the subjective dimension of life quality. It seems that the subjective aspect dominates objective aspect of life quality because subjective one is based on individual believes about life quality. The important point is the personal experience and feeling of the individual rather than events; not merely presence of external events.
The scientific research method and correlation analysis is based on field survey and the technique for collecting the data is structural interviews using surveys and questionnaires. The questionnaires used in this study are WHOQOL – BREF living Quality survey as well as a survey prepared by the author.
Statistical population of this study is elderly people upper than 60 years old in khomein town, out of whom 190 people were selected through accidental systematic sampling. Data were analyzed using SPSS software. The summary of study results include:
The hypotheses for dependency of elderly to his/her family also the rate of elderly respect in his/her family with living quality were verified. The relations among age, gender, martial situation, literacy, house property and level of relation with family members with living quality were confirmed. Indeed, more social protections of elderly are particularly in the family, living quality is more too. On the other hand better social – economic level of the elderly, the more improved living quality he/she will possess which comprises both objective and subjective dimensions.

Today, large cities as a result of migration have problems such as population density, environmental pollution, loss of values and traditions, and social and cultural damage. Factors such as increased income of some groups and classes have caused some families to look for a place to spend their free time away from the troubles of city life and closer to the values of their parents. This demographic and geographical mobility, which is a seasonal reverse migration, has resulted in the emergence of another wave of urbanization outside big cities, such as Arak. The statistical population for this study was Farahan, a town in the north-west of Markazi Province, 32 villages of which were selected for the study. The research is descriptive and uses a combined qualitative-quantitative method. In this study, reverse migration and lifestyle have been analyzed. The most important results are: second houses are spread in all villages, especially in populated areas inFars and Khalaj. Their size varies from 35 to 1500 meters and are built on one to four floors, the architecture of about 30% of these houses is traditional, but modern materials have been used in their construction; the owners who live in Qom and Arak go to these places on weekends and holidays, but those who live in Tehran go there only on Eids, during religious holidays, or for marriage and death rituals. Half of the houses had spaces for keeping animals called barns, the accessories available and the layout of these houses are a mixure of modern and traditional lifestyles, and almost all the houses were built in the last decade, especially since the 1390s. Only about 10% of owners are women, half of the owners live in Tehran, and others live in Arak and Qom. 75% are more than 50 years old. In terms of education, 90% had a lower than college education. All owners are somehow related by family ties to the residents of the villages. About 70 percent of owners said their clothing was the same as or better than their urban clothing; in other words, they did this to show their wealth according to Bourdieu and Veblen. The relations between these people and the residents of the village are almost formal and based on mutual respect. In some rural areas, second houses cause tension and division among residents, whole in some areas they have had positive socio-cultural effects, such as empathy and participation in events in villages.

By adopting a sociological approach, the present research tries to study distributive justice feeling among Khorramabad citizens regarding welfare programs of the Iranian Government; meanwhile, it reviews different approaches to relationship between development, distributive justice, and social welfare. The present research was carried out by survey method and using questionnaire in March, 2022.

The results showed that the distributive justice feeling of Khorramabad citizens regarding social welfare was low, and only 2.4 % of the people considered this feeling high. And, regarding its different dimensions, i.e., distribution of job opportunities, employment, and governance, they felt more discrimination, and the feeling came to the lowest point regarding the dimensions of individual freedoms and their use of media and communications.Examining the hypotheses, the results showed that the variables social welfare needs, trust level for welfare programs of the government, and the amount of economic capital are more interdependent with the variable distributive justice feeling regarding governmental welfare programs. The regression analysis findings showed that independent variables predict 50.8 % of the variable variance of distributive justice feeling level regarding social welfare programs of the government.
