Today, the importance of feeling safe in the development of human societies is such that it is necessary to have a healthy society. The analysis of factors affecting the sense of security of citizens in the city of Birjand is the subject of this analysis, which has been conducted with the aim of measuring the sense of security (life, economic, cultural, judicial, social, political) of Birjand citizens. The main question is why the sense of security has decreased in Birjand? The theoretical framework of this study is based on the "security theory" of "Bozan and Weaver", the "broken windows" of "Kling and Wilson" and the "hierarchy of needs" of "Maslow". Research method, survey; the statistical population includes all citizens aged 15 to 65 years living in Birjand. Using the "Cochran" formula, 384 people have a specific sample size and have been sampled in a multi-stage and systematic classification method. The findings of the study indicate that 54. 9% of Birjandi citizens do not feel safe. The findings also show that there is a direct and significant relationship between the variable of education and the feeling of security; that is, there is a negative and inverse relationship between the feeling of security and the variables of informal settlement and the sense of being borderline. On the other hand, there is no significant relationship between people's opinion of security governance institutions and the feeling of security. In addition, the test results of the model in multivariate regression analysis show that the independent variables and the selected contexts in this study, in total, examine 31% of the changes in the dependent variable, ie the feeling of security.

Aims & Backgrounds: The geographic analysis of the election results and the drawing of its electoral maps is one of a variety of studies in the field of electoral geography, which describes the distribution of candidates 'and political parties' votes, showing their strengths and weaknesses and strong and shaky bases in different geographic regions. Therefore, the present paper presents the electoral maps of the tenth parliamentary elections in the Birjand, Darmian and Khoosf constituency, and a geographical analysis of the results and maps. The present study is based on the type and purpose of an applied research and is based on the nature and method of descriptive-analytical. The method of collecting materials is a combination of library, internet and statistical information collection from relevant references. The analysis of statistics and drawing of diagrams and maps have been used by Excel and Arc GIS software. The results and research findings confirmed the effect of the birthplace factor of the candidates on their vote outcomes. Of course, this factor was more severe in Khoosf's sub-Constituency than in the other two counties, and had a great impact on the outcome of the election. Three main rivals have had relatively close competition in the center of the constituency (Birjand). The success of the principled and elected candidate has been greater in the western regions of the constituency, the rural areas and most of the mobile ballot boxes. In the eastern regions of the constituency, cities and most of the fixed ballot boxes and Sunni settlements, independent and reformist candidates have been more successful in gaining votes. The results of the ballot boxes at training places tended to be more toward independent and reformist candidates and the results of ballot boxes that were located in religious and military places tended to be more towards principled candidate.

At the same time as World War II broke out, Iran declared neutrality, but the Allies prepared to invade Iran on the pretext of the presence of German spies in Iran in September 1320 and entered Iran. Just as World War II brought about changes in Europe and changed the social and economic situation, so did Iran, and especially Khorasan. Due to its strategic position and the existence of common borders with the Soviet Union, Khorasan received the attention of the Allied governments and the presence of such factors increased the influence of British and Soviet forces on Khorasan territory and had irreparable consequences. The main purpose of this article is to investigate the consequences of World War II on the social and economic status of Khorasan and the research method is descriptive-analytical. This article seeks to answer the question: what effect did the occupation of Iran have on the social and economic situation of the people of Khorasan during World War II? Occupation of Iran seems to have caused problems and disadvantages of Khorasan social and economic system. The findings show that after the occupation of Iran, social abnormalities and inappropriate economic conditions such as banditry, addiction, insecurity, various diseases, inflation and rising prices have been noticeable throughout the provinces. These problems and the lack of organization are caused by the broader factors mentioned in this article. Historians have historically evaluated and examined World War II politically or militarily in historical research, while most of these consequences have damaged the social and economic structure of Iranian society that day.

Ashura is one of the most influential events in the history of Islam about which lots of books have been written. The analysis of Ashura studies is important for several reasons. One of these reasons is the analysis of attitudes and discourse types present in those studies. The historians who wrote about the Battle of Karbala have different views on how to narrate the event, analyze the warriors of Karbala and Imam Hossein’ s supporters; this difference has led to the variety of reports about the event. Among the different reports on this event, the works of the Ayatis deserve considering. The existence of outstanding scholars and prominent writers in this family with their special attention to distortions of this event make the author choose the present study. Thus, the present study aims at analyzing the works of the Ayatis on Ashura using content analysis method. Typologically speaking, the findings indicate that the Ayatis had historical, emotional, mystical, supernatural attitudes in writing their works. Each of these attitudes has preference over the other attitudes depending on the event and the textual features.
