Considering the importance and necessity of being aware of the impact of socio-cultural services of the Civil Servants Pension Fund on the quality of life of retirees, the present study uses a evaluation design and methodology quantitative (survey method with questionnaire technique), examine four supplementary insurance, essential loans, cane, glasses, hearing aids and travel allowances, and pilgrimage and tourist tours services, and suggestions for improving this effectiveness. The statistical population of the study includes all retirees living across the country who have used the four mentioned services, of which 1317 people as a sample size in 5 provincial areas using simple random sampling methods with random number table strategy and based on the number of retirees in each province and province belonging to each region were selected and surveyed by telephone. The findings showed that although retirees are relatively dissatisfied with the fund's socio-cultural services, they generally have a positive assessment of the effectiveness of these services on their quality of life. The results of the study, although indicate the coexistence of retirees' dissatisfaction and the efficiency of the fund's services in the quality of life of retirees, but it seems that the optimal effectiveness of these services requires redefining and mainstreaming retirement and their quality of life based on the concepts of active retirement and subjectivist quality of life.

The aim of the present study was to analyze the effectiveness of distance learning centers with regard to the directors and administrators of these centers in Bandar Abbas in 2011. The effectiveness of the educational activities, according to the resolutions of the institute, is defined as achieving the goals of distance learning, such as strengthening the scientific ability and stamina of students, laying the ground for enriching the scientific knowledge of students, facilitating research and scientific communication, preventing learners from dropping out, presenting a model for the comprehensiveness of educational system, establishing scientific and native education, and promoting the proper use of information and communications technology. The questionnaire contained 82 items that were categorized based on the 8 primary questions of the research. The research population consisted of all the directors of the distance learning centers in Bandar Abbas. The sample comprised of 30 directors due to the limitations. Therefore, descriptive statistics (percentage, mean, and standard deviation) was used to analyze the collected data. The results showed that the achievement of some goals of the approved programs of the institute had some shortcomings due to the lack of full awareness of executive agents. Monitoring, controlling, and building culture can help solve the issues in this area. Moreover, the country’s poor information and communications technology infrastructure is a key factor in reducing the effectiveness of these centers.
