As the percentage of women assuming the role of household leaders rises, there is a prevailing consensus to lend them support. Determining their experience of social support phenomenologically is the objective of the present study. The investigation utilized the phenomenological method. In 1400, twenty-one female heads of household in Mashhad participated in semi-structured interviews; the resulting data were subsequently analyzed using MAXQDA software. Three entities provide assistance to female heads of household: family, friends, and governmental organizations. Often, family support is both financial and emotional. Companionship and friends offer practical, financial, and emotional assistance, while governmental bodies and organizations prioritize monetary support. However, these assistance programs—consisting primarily of low-interest loans—will contribute to the perpetuation of poverty if not accompanied by policies that target and alleviate poverty. Widows initially require emotional support before progressing to requiring financial, material, and informational resources. Following financial support, divorced women require emotional support. Financial, informational, instrumental, and emotional autonomy are all essential for single women. Because mistrust, particularly towards men, constitutes the foundation of each of these women's living space, conformity and aloofness serve as the primary tenets of their social connections. The findings revealed that female heads of household encounter numerous obstacles in their personal and social spheres, necessitating assistance. Nevertheless, policymakers must be concerned with the manner in which these supports are delivered in order to prevent it from becoming a "social issue" and to mitigate social harm.

Sense of place is a vital social-urban concept fostering a unique, bidirectional relationship between humans and their environment. Perception, a mental process, imbues sensory experiences with meaning, helping humans comprehend relationships and object meanings. This study focuses on the sensory perception process in the Tabriz historical Bazaar community, aiming to explore the role of sensory components in promoting the sense of place. The research, an applied type, utilizes a survey method with a combination of quantitative and qualitative approaches. The methodology involves collecting library information and using existing documents for theoretical studies. Field studies employ questionnaire, observation, and focus on environmental information. The case study centers on the Tabriz historical Bazaar community, with the statistical population comprising Bazaar users selected through random sampling in January 2022. Results indicate that sensory perception components significantly affect the sense of place in the Tabriz historical Bazaar. Notably, chemical sense, sense of hearing, and body sense exhibit the highest correlation with the overall sense of place in this vibrant community.

Today, neglecting the social and environmental concepts in housing has caused constructions to be measured in the form of a quantitative relationship, that is, the quantitative and numerical relationship of humans economically with the physical dimensions of housing or the people living in it. Thus, considering social values and concepts such as justice in housing has been violated. Therefore, the current research, recognizes the sensitivity of the issue of housing and its role on people's perception of social justice, has found the necessity of payment in this field by relying on the relationship between three environmental, social and physical factors related to housing; with the aim of explaining the role of housing on people's perception of social justice in Tehran as case study. The applied research is a combination of qualitative and quantitative research. Data analysis is done with SPSS version 27 and Smart PLS version 3 software. Findings show that there is a significant relationship between all three environmental, social and physical factors (p<0.05). The direction of the relationship between all three factors is positive and the factors are correlated with each other and affect the citizens' perception of justice; in general, citizens do not consider the housing situation in Tehran fair.

The phenomenon of global urbanization is currently undergoing rapid advancements. This scholarly study aims to contribute to the discourse surrounding mental health promotion and the revitalization of urban neighborhoods within the framework of urban planning in Iran. Within this context, the examination of environmental characteristics is of utmost importance due to their substantial impact on mental well-being. This study sought to investigate the individual effects of various environmental characteristics on the overall health of citizens, as well as explore the role of environmental preferences as a mediating variable. Recognizing the influential role of urban environmental design on the mental health of individuals, this research was conducted with the objective of establishing a relationship between the perception of environmental variables and public mental health in residential neighborhoods, while also considering the mediating effect of environmental preferences among the population of Mazandaran. Data was collected via a questionnaire comprising two sections. The first section addressed mental health, utilizing a standardized questionnaire, whereas the second section assessed participants' perceptions of neighborhood characteristics, including security, amenities, aesthetics, and destinations, along with their environmental preferences. The application of structural equation modeling revealed a statistically significant influence of the participants' perception of environmental characteristics on mental health, with a corresponding decrease in mental health condition when environmental preferences were reduced.

The expansion of the recruitment of non-Iranian students in recent years has led to an increase in foreign interactions with Iranians. Research on the experiences and perceptions of non-Iranian students can lead to more self-awareness of Iranians. As a preliminary step, this article aims to report the experience and perception of some non-Iranian students studying in Iran. The method of current research is ethnography and the interview technique was used in data collection and the step-by-step coding technique was used in data analysis. The data is mainly the result of interviews with 28 non-Iranian students of Ferdowsi University of Mashhad in the summer of 2015. The result of extracting the messages in the interviews and assigning basic concepts to them is about 200 basic concepts and 7 major categories. Inspired by Gurvitch, major categories, ecology and morphology, clothing and appearance, interaction, social norms, morals and social values, and "deficiencies" were determined. Students made observations and made inferences, and the more observable a topic was, or the simpler and more accessible the inference was, the more it was reported.

Disadvantaged settlements encompass areas that face various vulnerabilities and deprivations. These adversities give rise to the recognition of these areas as being plagued by “spatial stigma.” The nature of this spatial stigma is dynamic and permeates individuals, leading to their notoriety. Consequently, residents of these areas bear the burden of place stigma, which results in the attachment of diverse labels to them, prompting the adoption of various strategies to confront these challenges. The objective of this research is to explore the perception of marginalized individuals as seen through the eyes of residents residing in disadvantaged areas and to investigate strategies employed to address urban marginalization in the city of Mashhad. Employing a qualitative approach, the study utilized a semi-structured interview tool and implemented purposeful sampling and sample size determination based on the principle of informational saturation. The analysis of interviews followed the thematic analysis technique proposed by Braun and Clarke. The findings from 21 interviews with residents of disadvantaged areas in Mashhad reveal that marginalized individuals are perceived based on distinctive characteristics, including initial categorization (focused on livelihood, economic marginalization, self-sufficiency, and self-reliance), deviant behavior (undesirable traits and nonconformity), and a culture of marginalization (reactive behavior, self-neglect, informal upbringing, vernacular discourse, actions, and cultural capital of marginalization). These perceptions collectively contribute to the construction of “marginalization stigma.” The establishment and perception of marginalization stigma serve as the foundation for interactions with marginalized individuals, giving rise to two categories of strategies: “social accommodation” strategies, involving acceptance and engagement with marginalized individuals, and “social non-accommodation” strategies, entailing rejection and the establishment of boundaries in interactions with marginalized individuals.

The article “Is Justified True Belief Knowledge?” by Edmund Gettier is one of the famous works in contemporary epistemology. This short article has challenged the classical definition of knowledge by the two controversial examples and raised various disputes and solutions by epistemologists. The present article studies those examples by relying on Islamic epistemology and answers the problems by proposing a kind of causal relation that differs from the causal theory of Goldman. The main difference is that the chain of causality is between external fact and proposition knowledge by the perception of a different form of knowledge called “knowledge by the present.” This causality originally has an epistemic role because it is identical to the manifestation of the external fact by appearing in perceptions that are effects of the external fact. Therefore, the perceiver grasps facts by the deeper surface of knowledge intermediates between external fact and proposition knowledge, and by the conceptualization of the appearance and judgment. The mind constitutes true justified beliefs therefore in Gettier’s problems, the chain of this causality is not connected in an appropriate way.

Adolescence is associated with changes in one’s life including his/her behavior, emotions, and mood. One of the issues less studied about adolescents is how they deal with and receive music. Adolescents raised in the religious environment experience challenges in the process of consuming music, with girls finding themselves in a more complex situation. The main purpose of this study is to study adolescent girls' perceptions of music consumption considering their well-being in the religious cultural context. Questions such as: how do they look at the music they consume, what factors affect their perception of it, how they think about music from a religious point of view and how they approach music according to their religious background, are among the research questions.  To answer and finding the factors affecting the reception of music by adolescent girls with religious cultural backgrounds, unstructured interviews were conducted with 23 adolescent girls who have grown up in religious cultural backgrounds and studying in schools with a religious educational approach.  Based on the analysis, 4 comprehensive themes on central issue of this research were identified and it was found that adolescent girls' perception of music is influenced by family, society and how they look at religion, even some see music in the same light as they view religious eulogies.

The comprehension approach not only emphasizes on observing public hijab and effaf in the society, but, considering world’s transitions regarding women’s issue, it also maintains hijab from the targeting policies regarding the challenges from the rival perspectives and insists on religious reasoning about hijab in public. In addition, to obtain the perception and experience of young women about hijab and modesty, the present study applied a quality phenomenology and conducted semi-structures interviews with 13 young women form Isfahan University of Medical Science. The semi-structures interviews described how young women percept and experience hijab and how they realize it in the symbolic mutual action framework. Colaizzi method was applied and 600 descriptive codes were obtained. All of the obtained codes were in the frame of a detailed description of hijab and they were under 35 interpretative codes. After the integration, 12 interpretative codes were obtained and finally 5 descriptive codes as understanding and experiencing normal political-religious life, deconstructionism, consistent, neoliberalism, and commodified identity-oriented were obtained regarding hijab and modesty.

Input and its effects on the human psyche are among the topics of interest in the field of architectural research. Some of these studies refer to the subject of its geometric principles, which generally refer to mathematical proportions and relationships between components. But in this study, the aim is to consider the geometry and method of input form regulation from the perspective of environmental psychology and how it is perceived. In other words, the main question of this research is to address the components and principles that are considered in spatial geometry to achieve the desired goals in their design. For this purpose, according to the characteristics of traditional architecture and the capabilities that are generally mentioned for it, in the present study, a study was used on the entrance entrances of traditional houses in Mashhad.Based on this, first, by finding important characteristics in the effects of environmental geometry on the human psyche from the perspective of three theories in the field of environmental psychology, namely adaptive and exchange psychology, behavioral psychology and Gestalt psychology, the desired components in the study of samples Came. Then, by analyzing these cases, the results were discussed as a whole, which summarizes the results of the research. According to the findings of this study, privacy, avoidance of complexity, beauty away from many details and harmony with the surrounding texture are among the principles considered in the geometric design of the entrance of traditional houses in Mashhad.

Today, social responsibility is one of the most important elements of the existential philosophy of organizations. Social responsibility means accepting the responsibility of an organization to socially responsible behavior, which is a desirable response to the demands of society and its influential groups.The purpose of this study is to achieve the perception of teachers and administrators of the concept of social responsibility. The present study was conducted in a qualitative and phenomenological manner by purposive sampling and through in-depth interviews with 18 teachers and principals in Sanandaj, of whom at least three years (teaching and management in schools) had passed in the Education Organization.The interview data collection tool was semi-structured. The analysis of the text of the interviews has been done by Dickelman et al. (1989) method. Which includes 47 sub-themes and 7 main themes which include:Responsibility to the organization, responsibility to social issues, responsibility to the various social roles of students, responsibility to parents, responsibility to the group, moral responsibility and individual responsibility. The results of the a present study can be used for education officials and other researchers interested in this field and provide a clear picture of the perceptions of teachers and principals of the concept.

In previous decades, consumer purchases were related to access to needed goods and services. Today, consumers meet their psychological needs by buying goods. Consumers purchase products by showing their personality or boosting their self-esteem; in other words, the purchased product has become a mental confirmation. This study was conducted to investigate the effective factors in changing consumer behavior towards luxury products. This study has been made to study the relationship between variables (perceived quality, perceived social status, attitude, brand perception, mental image) and consumer consumption behavior for luxury goods with a moderating effect (self-esteem). For this purpose, a researcher-made questionnaire was distributed among 384 people in Mashhad. This research has been done by descriptive survey method with the simple random sampling method. Structural equation modeling has been used for the relationships between variables. The analysis results show that perceived social impact, brand perception, consumer attitude, and service quality are related to the influential factors with consumers' intention to buy. In contrast, mental image and self-esteem do not have a significant effect on buying motivation. On the other hand, among the independent variables, the impact of brand perception on purchase intention was more significant than other variables. In addition, the narcissism of the interactions between the independent variables, the perception of the brand and the social effect, and the dependent variable does not moderate the consumer buying behavior.

The concept of power has always been a matter of controversy. On the one hand, some take power as a hard thing in the hands of the state or government. This enables states to use military force for subjugating people. On the other hand, some, mostly among contemporary theorists, believe the power to be a soft and subjective phenomenon and think it to become effective only when punitive discourses are effective in society. In fact, power in its second sense is a fluid and roaming thing the owners of which are endowed with the necessary influence in society. The social dimension of power can rightly display its softness and fluidity. In this article we intend to understand the reproductive process of power in social domain. To answer the question, we have adopted the library method and have surveyed this at three different layers. The first layer deals with the conceptual development of power and its consequences. The second examines three processes of managing the image, social rituals, and social institutions in relation with power. And finally, the third layer discusses the effect of the three processes on people’s perceptions and attitudes and behaviors. We conclude that the reconstruction of power is a three-phase process that is institutionalized in society at large to individuals’ mind and vice versa.

Risk is a concept and phenomenon that will deals with the possibility of danger and the power of harm in the future and belongs to the risks ahead. The approach to risk, in addition to technical and computational evaluation, follows cultural and social patterns. Therefore, it extended to the perceptual and activity aspects of human beings. The present study targeted the mental evaluation of urban dwellers about environmental risks in Tehran from the perspective of informed subjects. This study collected the data by adopting the method of grounded theory and conducting twenty semi-structured interviews of higher education informants during the process of purposeful and theoretical sampling and achieved theoretical saturation and conceptual regulation. Findings indicate that in terms of subjects, urban dwellers in Tehran do not have a significant perception and activity in the face of environmental hazards to the city of Tehran. On the one hand, in their minds, the perception of environmental risks has not been determined much, and on the other hand, action focused on environmental risks does not have a significant presence and even tends to passive actions. Therefore, it can be inferred that there is no internal risk culture among the residents of Tehran and there is no risk discourse in their minds and actions. In the end, the paradigmatic model of perceptual and cognitive retardation of urban dwellers from environmental risks in Tehran has been drawn and interpreted.

Increasing women's self-esteem and positive image of hijab are among the most prioritized and appropriate strategies used to internalize the value of hijab. The present study, while analyzing the life experiences of female students, examined their perception of the veil.This study is based on qualitative approach and phenomenological method, with study of 20 participants among high school girl students in Tabriz. This research was conducted with purposeful sampling method with 22 individual interviews and a semi-structured group interview. Data analysis was performed based on the seven-step Kellasie strategy. The findings show that in the lived experience of students, hijab is not just about covering the tent, hijab chasing should be considered in all behavior. The students' experiences also included themes such as: Observance of the veil depends on its clarity, modification of the cognitive system is the best way of teaching the veil. Being ideological about the idea of hijab is the most important way to observe it and the inner tendency to wear it is the most sustainable way of doing it. The hijab style is based on the creation of up-to-date identity. Lack of learning of the tent pattern results in differentiation in student groups.

In Mulla Sadra’s viewpoint, substantial motion of man’s soul begins in the body with corporeal generation and its faculties are actualized in this motion. Reason is one of these faculties which has two stages. Soul’s motion continues from the stage of material reason to that of active reason. There are different types of perceptions in these stages. These perceptions include sensory, imaginary and rational. In material reason, until perfect reason soul has sensory and imaginary perceptions and in actualized reason and active reason, it has rational perception. Depending on the kind of its perceptions, and the stage of rationality, different types of agency in its acts are explained. Imam Khomeini as one of the expositors of transcendental philosophy is an expert in this field. One of the objectives of this paper is comparison of the two theories to find their similarities and differences. The exclusive features of Imam Khomeini’s theory include: The necessity of going through stages and their numbers as well as internalization of rational forms for soul due repetition from common points, the idea of faith before the entry of soul into theoretical and practical reason, referring the stages of theoretical and practical reasons to each other and the culmination of the stages of the two reasons to reasonable wisdom.

Nowadays, a new trend to ecotourism has been attracted among the researchers as a spatial pattern for being in nature. The ecotourism is going to affect plenty of the geographical regions in the 21st century and to provide a new spatial pattern in various locations. Ecotourism can be considered as a sub-category of tourism industry with one of the rapidest economic growths. This growth has been even developed in the recent decade. The researchers believe that ecotourism is a proper tool to reach the stable tourism. The eco-tourist is the person who involves in mental and natural challenges by being in the nature. Eco-tourists are seeking the experience and are interested in treating with domestic people. They tolerate the problems of trips and show an active cooperation. The ecotourism activities lead to positive/negative effects in ecosystems, economics, cultural and social aspects. The tourism is more than an economic activity and it deals with a cultural relationship of the tourist and the host society. This research is done in order to analyze the gendered perceptions and imagines of young people about the ecotourism. The case study is the middle-school students of Myandorod and 275 persons are randomly selected using the Cochran’s formula. , there is not a correlation between the perceptions of the girls and boys about the social-cultural aspects of tourism.
