Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the rights of the elderly to the city. The theoretical approach of the present study is based on Henri Lefebvre's theory of the "production of space" and "the right to the city" and the method of study is ethnographic. The technique of data collection used is observation and interview. Accordingly, 20 interviews were conducted through theoretical sampling. The results of the research show that sidewalks and streets are problematic for use, access, and availability for elderly people due to the high structure of concrete tables, inequality and disproportionate furniture; green spaces, cafes, alleys, and pathways are among the spatial sites of the neighborhoods that are determenants of facilitating the movement, settlement, and accommodation of the elderly but various defects deprive the elderly of memorizing, protecting and using the city. Social welfare and social organizations of the elderly have an unfavorable position for the elderly, and welfare services have been limited to medical and psychotherapy. The home for the elderly has become a supportive space against external hazards; it is more like a sanatorium than a place for the elderly to play a great deal of interaction. Finally, many psychological and existential injuries such as anxiety, depression, loneliness, and isolation, are not individualistic but are rooted in neglecting the right of the elderly to the city. Keywords: Spatial Deeds, Production of Space, the Right to the City, Elderly Citizens, Kermanshah

Abstract The purpose of this article is to examine the prevalence and different types of domestic violence and its related factors among married young women in the city of Tehran. The data was gathered using a survey with a sample size of 405 married women under the age of 30 in Tehran. Combined theories that emphasize the multidimensionality of violence and its determinants based on the interaction of individuals, the family and social forces were used. The results indicated that women have experienced five types of domestic violence, including physical, psychological, verbal, sexual, and economic violence. Verbal violence was the most prevalent and sexual violence was the least prevalent among the different types of domestic violence. A multivariate analysis revealed that prevalence of violence was significantly higher among couples with inappropriate (early or arranged) marriages, families with a non-cooperative power structure, low social class groups, and unemployed women. These factors have accounted about 40 percent of domestic violence prevalence. Marriage education for young people, communication skills training, women's access to resources and opportunities, and social support are recommended. Keywords: Domestic Violence, Arranged Marriage, Power Structure, Social Class, Social Structure.

Abstract
The comprehensive mission of universities for providing individual and social health and dynamics for the members of its society has already been defined. However, at present, the most prominent problem for which university members are struggling for is in terms of the so called epidemic ‘institutional disease’ which has endangered and diminished the health and dynamics of university vigor and dynamism of human resources of universities. The purpose of this study is to present a paradigm model of social vigor-creating strategies in the environment of universities. The research is a practical one in terms of purpose, and it is based on the analysis of existing social barriers for the creation of vigor at universities, and for identifying, compiling and prioritizing strategic and operational programs. Data collection was conducted using a study method, a targeted observation, semi-structured interviews, as well as document review related to the strategic and operational programs of universities in the period of time
between 2016-2018. The research methodology is a qualitative one based on the analysis of 20 university expert responses, and it uses the Colaizzi method for social vigor-creating of members, open and axial coding. Based on the findings of the research, the narrative of the grounded theory of social vigor-creating, which explains the social vigor of the human resources of universities, was as follows: universities can create social vigor by establishing strategic human resource management under the influence of three necessary and sufficient conditions for the development of positive psychological resources of members, support for family and social responsibilities of members, and the maturing-oriented structure strategies through empowerment branding of university members in the target population. It is hoped that the reflection of the latter would be presented in the blossoming of talents and educational, research, and administrative dynamics of university members (production and scientific sharing) as well as respond to the social and contextual needs (qualitative, specialized, knowledge, and monetization) of universities.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare and evaluate the relationship between self-esteem and its related factors among individuals with physical-motor disabilities. The method used in this research is a comparative survey. The statistical population of the present study was 1600 people with physical-motor disabilities in the city of Yazd 2018. According to the Cochran formula, a sample of 310 individuals were obtained. A group of 155 people with physical-motor disabilities without higher education and 155 university graduates with physical-motor disabilities were studied under the auspices of the Yazd Welfare Organization. The data collection tools were the Rosenberg self-efficacy scale, SF-36 quality of life by the World Health Organization, and Sherer et al.’s (1982) self-efficacy. The mean self-esteem for all the participants was 36.30, which is more than average. The results of this research generally showed that university-graduates have more self-esteem than those without university education. There was a significant relationship between self-efficacy and self-esteem. Therefore, according to the results of this study, it is necessary for social institutions and social workers to modify the attitudes of societies toward empowerment through education, cultural activities, effective media plans and appropriate social programs.

Abstract The aim of this research is to investigate the situation of the fear of crime and its related social factors among the elderly in the city of Shiraz. This study is done within the framework of a quantitative methodology employing a survey method. The demographic population of the study are the elderly citizens of shiraz, 330 of them were selected through multilevel random sampling. The research tool was a questionnaire, indexes of which were validated through content and factor validity and its reliability was examined by the Cronbach alpha coefficient and test re-test reliability. In the theoretical part of fear of crime, different perspectives of social integration, social capital, demography theories, interpersonal communication and victimology were examined, and the conclusions of this research were determined using such frameworks. According to the findings of this research, the fear of crime among the elderly citizens of Shiraz was estimated to be average in the measurement scale of the research. The analysis of the content variables showed that respondents were significantly different in terms of the fear of crime based on different variables of age, gender, marriage, and level of education. The fear of crime increased with an increase in age. A higher level of education reduced the fear of crime and so on. The inferential findings of this research study showed that social capital, as one of the independent variables of the research, affected fear of crime either directly or indirectly. However, its indirect effect was more (on skill) on dependence variable (fear of crime). Skill, as another independent variable of the research, has a direct and significant effect on fear of crime. The analysis of the research conclusions shows that fear of crime as a social phenomenon is prevalent among the elderly across the world both theoretically and experimentally which is affected by different social, mental, and environmental conditions and in order to reduce it among the elderly population, we need to get help from the inherent and individual capacities available in society including non-governmental organizations, media and more, in addition to understanding different aspects of it.

Abstract
Homelessness is one of the most significant social issues encountered in the modern world in most developed and developing countries and has been expanded more particularly in Iran. Understanding the issues and problems of homeless women can help social planners design more effective social policies. Hence, this study examines the life experiences of homeless women with an emphasis on social issues and problems which they have faced during their homeless years. The data for this study were collected using a qualitative method, through interviews and observation techniques. The methodology of this research is phenomenology and the sample size are 18 individuals. The common feature of these individuals is the life experience of homelessness. The thematic analysis method was applied to analyze the data and according to this study, seven main themes were extracted, which in fact represent an organized image of their life experiences. These themes include addiction and continuity of homelessness, applying a strategy of struggling for survival, multiple offenses and harassment, formation of negative emotions, social exclusion, deficiencies in social networks, and concurrency of deprivation. In conclusion, homeless women are in critical, horrific conditions that make them more vulnerable towards homelessness and its threats. In fact, the negative life experiences gained through homelessness not only lead to the continuity of homelessness, but also make it difficult to get rid of the condition.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to investigate the presence of women in the neighborhood-oriented projects of Tehran municipality and its impact on the level of promotion of their psycho-social empowerment. The theoretical framework of the research is based on the Theories of radical feminism, symbolic interaction and the theory of Bourdieu and Habermas. In order to examine the research questions, 163 women who participated in these projects with 164 women who did not participate in these projects were studied and compared regarding their psycho-social empowerment. Findings showed that more than 70 percent of women in the study group participated in the projects in large rate and more than 60% highly rated the success of project implementation. Findings showed that there is a significant difference between psycho-social empowerment between intervention and comparison groups at 99% confidence interval level. Therefore, the results indicated that the implementation of these projects has been effective in promoting women’s psycho-social empowerment, which shows the necessity of continuation of these projects at a wider level in Tehran and other cities.
