The generation born from 1995 to 2012 is known as "digital natives" or "Z generation." A generation coexisted with the Internet and social media since birth, so their behavioral patterns are expected to be different from those of previous generations. In this research, data on the Iranian "digital natives" on Instagram, which is considered one of the most popular social networks in Iran, was examined through extracting big data using the SEMMA method. 534 users were selected using the available sampling, and their activities were extracted and analyzed over one month through Application Programming Interface. The results showed that this generation uses single images more than other forms, such as video clips and albums. Their commenting and liking behaviors follow specific patterns. Along with the results provided to help policymakers, cultural managers, media entrepreneurs, and app designers, there is a proposed theory called Functional Freezing that can be tested in future research.

urban planning expected achievements in Iran, despite its long history, have not been satisfactory & they have not been able to materialize the welfare promised. even the most recent urban planning methods, often based on collaborative patterns, have not responded to the needs of citizens. Failure to implement these programs is affected by several factors. Lack of participation due to behavioral patterns of citizens is considered as an important obstacle. Thus the purpose of the present paper which is based upon a field study, is to identify socio-behavioral barriers that have caused urban residents to be reluctant to participate in collaborative approaches; the case study is a historical neighborhood in Qazvin city named Bolaghi.

The paradigm of the study is interpretational; this kind of epistemology requires "qualitative" techniques in order to measure effectively those barriers mentioned above. Therefore, the technique used to collect data through "in-depth interviews" with the residents of the Bolaghi neighborhood.

The study led to the production of a list of about 70 types of barriers to participation in 14 categories, originating from the behavioral patterns of citizens with in a largely cultural-historical context. Also, in a comparative study, it was found that the use of an asset based community development (ABCD) model could eliminate about 35 to 40 percent of citizens' behavioral barriers and to elevate residents’ participation.

The review and alignment of the participatory planning process is essential by improving the understanding of the existing situation in the urban community of Iran and considering the behavior patterns of the citizens. Behaviors that are mostly reactive and in a complex structure combined with governance policies. Therefore, it is important to formulate appropriate planning patterns. As experience has shown, the use of participatory models solely based upon Western experiences will not be fruitful taking Iranian context into consideration.

The concept of lifestyle, as a means of explaining the people’s way of living as well as cultural and behavioral patterns of society, is considered as one of the fundamental notions in human sciences, especially psychology and social sciences. On the other hand, religiousness is regarded as a set of cognitions, beliefs, moralities, and religious rules, commitment to which gives people life, discipline, prosperity, and integrity. It is defined by the scholars as a very strong factor in determining the type of lifestyle. On this basis, the present research aims to study the relationship between religiousness and lifestyle. The main objective of the study, in fact, is to explain the way the two variables of religiousness and lifestyle interact in the statistical population of the research. This was a survey study, and the data was collected using a questionnaireinterview technique. Validity and reliability of the main research scales, i.e. religiousness and lifestyle, were confirmed by Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. The statistical population included all the residents of Kashan city in the first half of the year 2011. Based onCochran's sample size formula and using Quota sampling method, 640 subjects were selected. The results were indicative of a significant relationship between the extent of religiousness and all aspects of lifestyle among the respondents. The results of Spearman’s correlation coefficient also showed that there was a significant relationship of 99% confidence between the two variables (rs=0.312). Moreover, the results of the stepwise step-wise regression analysis indicated that the aspects of belief and religious awareness affected the residents’ lifestyle by 29% and 28% respectively.

Concept of life style is one in social sciences which has drawn a great deal attention. But its various and relatively paradoxical use have made it ambiguous, and in the eyes of some researchers, futile. Here, first the article prodives an loxicological explanation from the concept and then addresses its conceptaul aspects. This concep is strongly interrlated with other concepts as “taste” in social sciences, what the article pursue is to explain the conceptual aspects and elements of “life style” by contrasting between calssic and modern related theories.
