Government-Funded Residential Apartments and Informal Settlements Siavash Gholipour[1] , Jalil Karimi[2] , Gelavij Sadeghi[3] Abstract This article seeks to examine the development of urban residential spaces in Kermanshah in 1996-2016. The theoretical framework of the research is based on Lefebvre’s views on production of space. The research method is qualitative and the data collection technique includes observation, interviews, and evidence analysis. The findings of the research indicate that the city has undergone external growth in different directions, especially northeast, northwest, southwest, and east during this time. Natural population growth and rural and urban immigration to Kermanshah are of the main reasons for the growth of the city in this period. Three processes have played a part in the development of the residential spaces of this period. First, the government-funded residential apartments policy, which stimulated the growth of Pardis, Dolatabad, Danesh, and Kianshahr towns. These towns brought about the dispersal and disruption of urban space. Also, due to a shortage of substructural facilities and public space, they are devoid of urban life. Neighborhood identity has yet to be developed there, and people tend to stay in their houses. Secondly, the growth of informal settlements of Darederaz, Nookan, Karnachi, and Dehpahn enjoy more dynamism in daily life in spite of the lack of substructures and shortage of facilities. Thirdly, the economic and recreational functions of the new residential spaces have made their interaction with the interurban arcades inevitable. Additionally, it has brought about the growth of the phenomenon of Alley Life, defined as spending one’s free time in alleys near their residence, as a tactic of resistance against the shortage of recreational space in the informal settlements.

Emerging forms of Family in Iran and its Challenges Abbasali Yazdani[1] , Simin Dousti[2] Received: 18/11/2016 Accepted: 11/04/2017 Abstract Family is assumed to be a primary institution in human society. Structure and functions of this social unit have been evolving. However, social scientists believe the changes it has been facing during the recent years are different, because they go beyond structure and now the meaning of family is somehow changing.Many policymakers and scholars are seriously concerned about the way people see and preserve traditional views to this sacred institution. Others see this as a natural trend and believe that the world has been completely revolutionized and mankind is trying to build a new form of family, appropriate to the modern time in the new millennium. In this article we tried to articulate six important challenges of the unit of family. Then, we addressed responses of Iran’s society to them. To do that, we reviewed related documents and statistics as well as official definitions of the family in different countries. Iran has a relatively traditional, religious society and thus resistant to big changes in this area. But many questions have risen particularly for young people and proper responses must be provided. So, we need to negotiate via intergenerational dialogue. It appears that we are not well-prepared for these challenges. Keywords: Family Forms, Family Evolution, Emerging Family, Iranian Family [1].

Comparison of Life Satisfaction, General Health and Functionality of Elderly Residents in Public and Private Nursing Homes in Tehran Akbar Sharifian[1] , Hossein Rezai[2] Received: 26/5/2017 Accepted: 20/2/2018 Abstract The purpose of this study is to compare the elderly people in public and private nursing homes of Tehran in terms of life satisfaction, functionality and general health. The population in this study are the elderly residents of public and private nursing homes in Tehran. Through purposive sampling, 225 of the residents were selected to be studied. Results showed that the residents of public nursing homes had higher health, life satisfaction and functionality than the residents of private nursing homes. Based on the results, it can be inferred that attention to mere biological and medical needs of the elderly citizens cannot create favorable conditions for them and increase their life expectancy. Attention to biomedical and physiological needs of elderly individuals in addition to their psychological and social needs can help to improve their life conditions at nursing homes.

Sampling method was purposeful sampling with a combination of convenience and snow-balling strategies. The study population consisted of 30 elderly men and women in Tehran, which was done semi-structured deep interviews and data was analyzed by thematic analysis. The findings suggest that the elderly, while having neglect understanding of dissatisfaction, had multiple experiences of dissatisfaction and its types, most notably verbal abuse, physical abuse, emotional/affectional abuse, discredit and lack of care by family members. Dissatisfaction can be classified into five categories according to the types of abuses experienced by the elderly in family relationships: emotional dissatisfaction, verbal dissatisfaction, care dissatisfaction, economic and financial dissatisfaction, and physical dissatisfaction. The elderly have taken different strategies to deal with these dissatisfactions, most notably silence and tolerance, and selective exclusion. The findings indicate that the elderly, although experiencing duplicate and multiple dissatisfactions, but the form of this experience is’nt comprehensice and follows a different pattern among elderly people in terms of men/women, illiterate/literate, and employed/non-employed.

Trough using a Randomized Controlled Trial, 30 children labour aged 13 15 years with higher risk behaviors based on Iranian adolescent risk questionnaire were recruited in to the intervention and control groups (each one = 15). We applied the intervention based on Professor Garvin's (1974) task-centered group protocol during 10 sessions. Iranian questionniar of tendency to high risk behaviors was used to measure dependent variables, comparing pre, and post measures between the groups and within each group. ANCOVA test was applied to analyze the data. The results showed that in pre-test, there were no significant differences between the groups in term of tendency to high risk behaviors and its dimensions and its domains but in post tests, there were significant differences. In conclusion, the task-centerd model in social work can be effective in reducing the high risk behaviours among children labour.

Abstract Nowadays, due to the increasing number of people with disabilities, the study of issues related to them has received worldwide attention, because empowering and promoting the quality of life of people with disabilities can be an effective factor in improving the growth and development indicators of societies. Some of the needs of people with disabilities, however, require special consideration and special planning, such as marriage and family formation. Objective: Considering the necessity of marriage in this group, the aim of this study is to determine the effective variables and barriers of marriage for persons with disabilities and to obtain a model of these factors in order to plan and act effectively in this field. Method: Previous research and interviews with four groups of disabilities, disabled families, center officials and specialists have been used to obtain these variables. The method used for analyzing the relationships between variables is ISM's interpretive structural modeling that measures the effectiveness and effectiveness of the variables on each other. It was also determined using MICMAC analysis. Results: Findings show that the factors affecting the type and severity of disability are the most influential variables in the model. Then, the type of society's attitude towards disability and lack of organizational and legal mechanisms are also important factors in removing barriers to marriage. Conclusion: According to the results, it is necessary to address the challenges of the mentioned barriers with priority of education, prevention and reform of attitude and action in the field of sound policies.

Also, the average score of the culture of poverty among the age groups over 51 years old was higher than the age group 15 to 24 years old. In addition, the culture of poverty among illiterate people (3.34) was more than other educational classes. The results also showed that the score of culture of poverty (3) was higher among those who have a low socio-economic base compared to other classes. The findings of this study also showed that social capitals and economic capitals could explain 28% and 26% of the variance of poverty culture, respectively. Therefore, economic and social capitals have a negative effect on the culture of poverty, and their improvement and increase should always be considered.

Women heads of households, as one of the most vulnerable sections of society, need to be informed about various issues specially in the field of health. Many gynecological diseases can be diagnosed with early care and can be treated more. These diseases include gynecological cancers that require personal referral and follow-up. Therefore, they depend on various socio-economic factors. The aim of the present study is to investigate the social vulnerability of female heads of households in comparison to married women in providing health care. The present study is a comparative study and was conducted on 200 women including heads of households who have active files in 2 social work clinics in Qom and also married women in 2 districts of Qom city.

The data were analyzed in the SPSS environment. The research findings show that all three main variables, i.e. social capital, cultural capital and quality of life, do not have a favorable status among the respondents. However, the social capital capacity of the studied elderly (with a total score of 63.29 out of 120 points) was much higher than their cultural capital score (11.90 out of 81 points). Also, the total score of the elderly for the quality of life was 64.05 and the maximum score considered for this variable was 105, while the findings show that there is a correlation between all dimensions of social capital and cultural capital with quality of life.the variable of social participation and then the variable of the network of social relations as one of the dimensions of social capital had the greatest effect on the quality of life of the elderly. Based on the findings and results, suggestions have been proposed to improve the quality of life of the elderly.

A number of studies have examined some forms of child labor, but there are no studies that systematically address the various forms of child labor, their contexts, characteristics, and consequences. In this study, using a qualitative method, the forms of child labor in Tehran have been studied. The study was conducted using the grounded theory method. The study population consists of three groups of children, their employers and child specialists. In order to analyze the findings, a three-step coding method was used to construct the theory of child labor. Findings show that children in Tehran work in various forms of work, including the worst form of work. The relations of these works are divided into three categories: kinship, employer and organized. The main causes of child labor are the development gap in the country, the war and poverty in Afghanistan, the poverty of families, the culture of some communities about children and child labor, the informal labor market and the legal framework and law enforcement. Also, the reasons for children and their families to work are to cover part of the household expenses, to learn skills in the absence of a link between education and employment. The main strategies of children and their families are a number of actions in order to promote and increase income and reduce work risks. In addition to being exploited, children in various forms of work, depending on their circumstances and characteristics, harms their physical and mental health and disorder their effective socialization.
