Smoking is one of the most accepted behaviors considered less than the dimension of social problems and deviance. In recent years, various preventive measures and plans have been carried out, of which the Pod plan is one of the most important. In its third phase, this plan has considered smoke-free neighborhoods, and with this aim, the present study was conducted. This research was conducted quantitatively and with a descriptive survey strategy from a methodological point of view. The population under study was tobacco supply centers in Varamin city, which were investigated in terms of distribution in different localities with the help of a questionnaire. An autopsy of the neighborhoods indicates the existence of 126 officially licensed tobacco supply and consumption centers, including; 46 hookah houses and canteens, 37 press kiosks, and 43 tobacco shops. 65% of the suppliers were aware of the tobacco control laws, 57% of the centers received the tobacco control laws, and 40.8% of these centers did not receive the notification regarding the tobacco control laws. Statistical analysis shows a significant relationship between the awareness variable with the duration of activity (r=0.23) and the communication of rules (t=5.3, α=0.001). Official and unofficial centers supplying tobacco without any serious ban have increased in the city of Varamin, and this is due to the lack of necessary and effective interaction of relevant organizations to implement tobacco control laws.

We have heard many times that the failure to solve the problem of corruption is "due to the lack of political will to fight it" and we have seen many texts produced by anti-corruption institutions that consider the political will of countries to be one of the main factors determining the success of efforts to fight corruption. And they consider the necessity of existence to start the fight against corruption before any other option. But so far, this concept has received less attention from researchers in the field of corruption in Iran, and few theoretical efforts and empirical researches have been done in this regard. For this purpose, while reviewing the literature on the subject, this research has tried to deal with the meaning and concept of the discourse of good governance, its relationship with the political issue, its orientation, its origin and theoretical evaluation of its credibility as an emphasized indicator for fighting corruption.

The material and spiritual separation of citizens from urban spaces creates an alienation feeling from the city. In this research, an attempt has been made to identify different dimensions of alienation feeling in urban spaces. This research has a practical purpose, and the sequential exploratory mixed method, with the grounded theory approach. In the qualitative phase, the basic components of the alienation feeling were extracted, and a conceptual model of alienation feeling in space was presented. Then, with the hierarchical confirmatory factor analysis, the collected data were fitted with the conceptual structure. Ahvaz citizens was used for the research population, and with stratified sampling, 610 Ahvaz citizens participated. The presented conceptual model is defined by five factors: the attachment to space feeling, the ineffectiveness of space feeling, the liveliness in space feeling, the space insecurity feeling, and the lack of identity in space feeling. Quantitative results showed that the proposed model has a good fit with the experimental data and its structural validity is favourable. The analysis of gender multiple groups showed that structural coefficients and correlation coefficients work differently for women and men. Researchers consider it strategic and useful to conceptualize the alienation feeling in the urban space in a multi-dimensional way, which is based on a lack of identity, insecurity, inefficiency, and lack of vitality, and they advise urban planners to consider this feeling and its causal factors and pay attention to the context of its creation in the urban space design and metropolitan policies.

For the erosion of social capital and the disintegration of the family, enjoying the views of theorists of social capital such as Coleman, Putnam, Fukuyama and Bourdieu and examine some of the assumptions related to disruption of family as social anomie, pressure, relative deprivation theoretical framework was developed.indicators of social trust, social support, social participation, social cohesion and social interaction as measures of erosion of social capital were selected.The six hypotheses were formulated and the method of survey questionnaires validated with 385 divorced and not divorced women city of Kashan, the random sampling method were selected, tested, and the erosion of social capital in two groups. The results showed that the relationship between the erosion of social capital for women and disruption of families is significant, the higher the erosion of social capital for women, the greater the disruption of their families would be greater still. All dimensions of social capital and disruptive family relationship is significant; the erosion of social trust, social support, social participation, social cohesion and social interactions divorced and not divorced women, the disruption of their family also increases. Based on the interviews, too, can be the consequences of the problem in question, such as follows: No supervisor children, child abuse in different ways, addiction, ran away from home and committed suicide.

In recent years, social media has provided an appropriate platform for opinion exposition. Twitter is one of these social media. Twitter has created a cheap and accessible environment and many thinkers, politicians, statesmen and citizen have active on it. The purpose of this research is studying the opinions of Twitter users, identify effective categories, and determine important concepts formed around sustainable social development.The methodology of this research is based on interpretivism philosophy and symbolic interaction theory. For collecting information, social issues that are formulated in the “Sustainable Development Goals” were cited. Information was collected based on socially relevant hashtags that made it possible to search on Twitter. The collected tweets were analyzed through ethnography methods and using theoretical coding that includes the open, axial and selective coding. In this method, concepts or codes are first attached to the empirical data. Then, the categorization stage is carried out and the concepts are summarized in the form of general concepts and the relationships between concepts and categories and super-concepts are revealed.The results show that social, political & economical dimensions could act as a strengthening or weakening factors of social sustainable development. In the lack of social facility, achieving to sustainable development goals is impossible. Political dimensions create many weaknesses and problems in the achievement of social sustainable development. Due to the negative perception of twitter users regarding the way of policy making, citizen positive reaction and performance would not be expected. Based on users' opinions, the impact of economic dimensions on social sustainable development was determined. Common definitions have been formed around economic dimensions like inflation, depreciation of capital, rent and exchange rate and banking facilities.

This research aims to assess the ability to acquire, analyze, and comprehend health-related information to make informed choices on activities that promote good health. Theoretical agency, focusing on opportunity and choice, has been suggested to investigate variables and explain results. The research approach used in this study is both descriptive and correlational. The statistical population under investigation consists of urban residents in Mashhad who are over 18 years old. The sample size of 650 individuals was picked using a multi-stage and simple random cluster method, considering each area's size. The data-gathering tool is a questionnaire that follows a set of established guidelines. The content validity and reliability coefficient of health literacy (0.822) and health-promoting behaviors (0.800) have been calculated. The findings of this study indicate that the overall condition of the dependent variable in urban regions could have been more beneficial. The contextual variables did not exhibit significant associations with the primary variables of the study. The main and sub-hypotheses exhibited a moderate to high degree of correlation and significance, with a p-value of less than 0.05. The beta regression findings indicate that the functional, relational, critical, and fundamental components significantly influence the dependent variable, with a percentage correlation value of 69% respectively. Furthermore, the prediction equation's findings indicate that 49% of the variability in the dependent variable can be accounted for. Additionally, the variable Health literacy directly affects health-promoting behaviors, with an effect size of around 0.865 units.

Social rights refer to rights that guarantee security, equal opportunities, and social welfare for all individuals in a society. These rights usually include the right to education, the right to health, the right to work, and the right to live in a healthy environment. Social responsibilities refer to the obligations of individuals and institutions to protect each other's rights and promote social status. These responsibilities can be legal or illegal. In the Islamic Republic of Iran, citizens' rights are clearly defined in various principles of the constitutional law, but there are numerous challenges in realizing these rights. Citizens' civil and moral responsibilities, in addition to their freedoms and legal rights, are considered an inseparable part of this system, and ignoring any of them can lead to a disruption in the public balance. The present study, titled "the Balance of the Citizenship Rights and Responsibilities in the Islamic Human Rights System with an Emphasis on Iran's Constitutional Law", which was conducted using a descriptive-analytical method, clearly demonstrates the need for effective legal and cultural measures to promote collective awareness and citizen responsibility. Therefore, challenging the interaction between rights and responsibilities in the Islamic system is not only necessary, but must also be continuously reviewed and strengthened in legal and social contexts in order to maintain solidarity and cohesion in society.
