The participants of this study are 240 inhabitants of Tehran who are older than 15 years and live in three different localities of Tehran which include uptown, midtown and downtown. The subjects were selected through cluster random sampling. The findings of this research showed that, different inhabitants of different localities enjoy different social capital.

The population of the research was all family households (23706) in Naghade among whom 378 individuals chosen as a sample using Cochran formula and multi-stage random cluster sampling method. In the present study a researcher-made questionnaire was used as a research tool. The validity and reliability was tested by alpha cronbach. Based on the results obtained, there was a reverse and significant relationship between the amount of use of virtual networks and the cohesion of the family. In examining the family cohesion, the relationship between variables of the degree of desirability of marital relationships and parent-child relationships with the amount of use of virtual networks is significant and inverse. But there was no significant correlation between the amount of use of virtual networks and the degree of desirability of family relationships. Also there was no significant difference between the type of activity in virtual networks and the integration of families. Finally, the degree of family cohesion was different in terms of educational level.

Nowadays by expansion of new communication and informational technologies many of concepts and strategies like war, power, victory, defeat, and defense have new meanings which implicate new authority and hegemony of foreign culture by using of media over the world. The achievement of soft warfare in urban textures is a complete description of silent struggle with attitudes, tendencies, concepts and indices of religion that eventually these elements have overlooked over time. This is while Iranians are dependent on the presence of such spaces, according to their culture. These spaces have had interactive and effective interactions with their surroundings in the past and they can have in the future. Achieving this, is possible by identifying the existing contradictions and developing solutions based on rational planning that can be realized in the light of the creation of urban media leaders. In this paper, it is tried to identify two different types (full and empty textures of religious elements) and use field and library methods based on scientific approach, to find a comprehensive knowledge in theoretical foundations and field studies. Also, by contrasting these textures, the principle of effective spatial organization for the rehabilitation of urban texture in the face of urban soft warfare is achievable. The most important results of this research are the elaboration of the principles of spatial organization of soft warfare in urban textures, which presents three strategic themes as a model for planning and designing urban textures with elements of religious indices against urban soft warfare.

One of the required knowledge of the interpreter in understanding the Qur’ an verses is the knowledge of the social conditions of the audience of the words and descendant situations. Social conditions can have dual functions of the age of descent and the interpreter's age. The interpreter's attention to the first function (social conditions of the age of descent) in the process of interpreting the verse of Mavadat is a necessity. Therefore, the author, by examining the social conditions of the most important Shia and Sunni interpretations, has concluded that interpretations of the first function have played the least role. However, the second function, with the prevailing social and political conditions of the caliphs in different periods, by forging the appropriate theological premises of the theologians and the practical actions of the caliphs and its politicians, led to the failure of most commentators to abide by the principle of neutrality and prevented them from paying attention to the first function of the element of social conditions, namely the social conditions of the age of descent and explanation of the verse of Mavadat.
