Domination of the traditional discourse in Qajar era created the discourses and sub discourses among different groups of society that emerged as resistance against traditional discourse. Among these sub discourses were sub discourses of the women that came in the shadow of some discourses.The purpose of this paper is to analyze women’s resistance sub discourses, their challenges and interactions from a sociological standpoint through studying their writings and publications in Qajar era. In this study we aim to address the following questions: What topics were the women concerned with regarding the rethinking of their situation during the Qajar era? To what categories and sub-discourses they belong and what ideologies govern their discourses? In succeeding the official discourse of the Qajar era what positions did they achieve?The analysis of women’s sub-discourses show that radical sub-discourse aims to create fundamental changes, while the moderate sub-discourse follows the available demands.

The objective of the present study is to carry out a review on the relationship between religiousness and trust via meta-analysis of conducted researches that have been done in Iran.For this purpose, amongthe18 existing investigative documents in Tehran University, Shahid Beheshti University, Allahmeh Tabatabai University, and Tarbiat Modarres University, a number of 16 met the requirements to be regarded as meta-analysis, which have been done during the last ten years. On this basis, research sample size indicates 8245 people from different walks of life among Iranian people. The findings that stem from the combination of studies probability and reviews over the impact coefficient showed that there is a meaningful relationship between religiousness and trust. This finding confirms the major hypothesis of this research It has been reported in researches there is a direct connection and the average rate of this connection is about 0.4. Also, another hypothesis of this study is the impact of using different statistical tests on the results coming from religiousness and trust. The results proved to be far from sensible. Hence, it shows that using different statistical tests have no influence on the amount of resulted correlation between religiousness and trust.Sample groups’ hypothesis, on the amount of religiousness correlation and trust in the result of variance analysis, did not make any sense, and the hypothesis was eventually refused.Last but not least, the hypothesis of studying field impact on the correlation of religiousness and trust, which was achieved as the result of variance analysis proved to be meaningless. Therefore, it can be concluded that, religiousness, apart from ground factors of research consisting of sample groups, studying field and statistical test using in researches, directly impacts the way people socially trust one another.

What most differentiates Qajar era from other eras in the Iranian’s history may be the appearance of new urbanism and new pathways that became a component of the texture of the city and made Tehran more and more Europeanized. What is of great importance here is the textural transformation of Tehran and other Structural and Spatial changes that occur along with or followed by this transformation. One of the most important changes is the transformation in the physical characteristics of the residential buildings and their association with urban streets. To identify this system of transformation, one should recognize the characteristics of Tehran's urban texture, especially housing structures-from beginning of Qajar, up to its end- and scrutinizing variations. This encompasses the main core of the present paper which mainly resulted from field studies that are descriptively and comparatively presented here. Therefore, Qajar era could be considered as the origin of essential alteration in urbanism, space construction, and house building. The era in which the old texture of the city and the traditional assemble of houses dissolves and new texture resides. Although all these changes took place in one historical era, but considerable variations can be seen due to domestic characteristics of every district.

This research has been done to determine and explain graffiti of historical sites and its influencing factors. Direct observation is selected as the method and content analysis as the technique among 23 monuments of the city of Yazd and stratified sampling is used (systematic) concerning frequency of shapes and Images and carved terms. Research findings are based on 2204 entries such as words, shapes and images and categorizations: date (time), writing graffiti, age, city of residence, ethnicity, gender, genus or materials and tools used, poem and lines, carved first and family names, and the English letters. One of the most important factors that influences graffiti phenomenon is the lack of attention and neglecting toward these monuments. The preservation of monument is not considered as a value, so the distortion and preparations for destruction is not a counter value and nothing is done for maintenance and preservation of the monuments.
