The present article has been written with the aim of investigating the causes of high rates of social inequality in some provinces of Iran. To achieve this goal, the present study used Boolean algebra technique to provide an answer to the question of what combinations of socio-economic development indicators have led to the formation of high rates of social inequality in some provinces of Iran. In this regard, by reviewing the theoretical and empirical literature in the fields of sociology and economics and considering the close relationship between social inequality and socio-economic development, five causal factors were finally selected: GDP, industrialization, urbanization, literacy and life expectancy. The final results of the Boolean analysis indicate that four different combinations in the provinces of Iran have been employed as sufficient conditions for high inequality: A) a combination of low GDP plus low industrialization and low urbanization; B) High GDP plus low literacy and high industrialization and high urbanization; C) High literacy plus high industrialization and high urbanization and high life expectancy; and D) High GDP plus high literacy and low industrialization and high urbanization.

The increase in women's inter-provincial migrations is one of the most important changes in recent decades in the migration field,  which largely  stems from the different development of provinces. Therefore, this research was carried out with the aim of investigating the effect of socio-economic and technological developments of the provinces on the ratio of their women’s independent migration to the city of Tehran, using a quantitative and fuzzy comparative method. The study of 2006 and 2011 censuses shows that despite the increase of female immigrants to Tehran, the number of independent female immigrants to Tehran from other provinces has decreased. The results of the correlation test showed that there is a direct significant relationship between the amount of "socio-economic" and "technological" developments of the provinces with the ratio of "migration" and "independent migration" of their women to Tehran, and most of the independent female immigrants who entered  to Tehran are from more developed provinces. Also, the proportion of women's independent migration to Tehran is more affected by the development of provinces than the ratio of women’s migration. The  results of fuzzy analysis show that both the conditions of "socio-economic" and "technological" developments have high "Consistency" and "coverage" indicators and as necessary conditions, they increase the ratio of women’s independent migration. Also, the causual combination of socio-economic and technological developments with high consistency index and empirical explanatory power is a sufficient causal combination of women's independent migration to Tehran. The phase sharing of two conditions, as a sufficient condition with great theoretical and empirical strengths, has been able to explain the ratio of women's independent migration of all provinces to Tehran.

the present research was written with the aim of achieving the relationship and relationship between the two categories of socio-economic development and social inequality in the provinces of Iran; Because the ratio of justice (= lack of inequality) and development has always been a challenging issue. While the early development economists considered any kind of orientation towards justice to be harmful to the economic system and assumed the increasing internal inequality as an inevitable result of Islamic development, but with the passage of time, it became clear that fair conditions are among the most important variables of favorable economic performance; In such a way that almost all reproductive factors of underdevelopment are rooted in neglecting the issue of social justice and unjustified inequalities.

In terms of the type of study, the current research is an explanatory research that has used a quantitative comparative method within the country in the position of testing the claim or confronting the theoretical hypotheses with the facts that they imply. In the current research, the unit of analysis and observation (province/year) and the level of analysis (Iran) with a longitudinal research design for the period 1368 to 1398 is considered.

The results and findings of this research have indicated that a significant negative linear relationship with relatively moderate intensity (beta: -0.324/sig: 0.000) has been seen between the two categories of socio-economic development and social inequality.

Based on the final findings of this research, it can be said that there is a kind of correspondence with Chalabi's theoretical point of view (a negative linear relationship between the two categories of socio-economic development and social inequality) and also the results of the current research with the theoretical points of view of Kuznets and Rafipour in It has been a contradiction.

Sustainable development aims at meeting the current and future needs and achieving a balanced social, economic and bio-environmental status. In fact, it can be considered as the digital currency of the development. Contrary to the fact that social system in Iran contains the required potential for socio-economic development, there exists a one dimentional development reflected in the form of socio-economic anomie. Therefore, the main purpose of the present study is the sociological analysis of the structure and function of socio-economic and sustainable development in Iran from 1978 to 2021. Documentary method and content analysis were used in the study considering Seyfollahi’s approach including geographic-climatic, socio-living, tribal-demographic, cultural and political-managerial elements. Moreover, in the process of conducting the research, two variables of local development and particularism were included in study. The overall results of the study indicate that ignoring the development structures would be the main reasons for the current unsustainable development in Iran. Therefore, the detailed results revealed that: 1. Unsustainable development in Iran is the result of domestic, foreign and global circumstances. 2) Petrol budgeting has led to petrol-oriented reductionism in Iran. 3) Recently, there exists a shift away from petrol-oriented reductionism to political party-oriented reductionism. It is concluded that all of the above-cited factors have played a leading role in the appearance of more serious problems and social harms including poverty, drug addiction, prostitution, anomalous fashionable suicide, inflation, academic-degree orientation, lampoonism, indiscriminate use of natural resources and environmental destruction.

Sociologists have long regarded "religion" as an important factor in providing and maintaining the social cohesion of societies, and had proposed arguments for rationalization of this relationship. In contrast, some recent theorists of secularization in the social sciences have argued that one of the most important consequences of modernization and development on the religious life of the societies today is that it has sharply weakened the link between religion and social cohesion to the extent that social cohesion is no longer dependent on the religion and religiosity of the community members. In the present study, the arguments of these two competing theoretical views in sociology were first translated into two conflicting hypotheses about how religion is related to social cohesion. Then, an attempt was made to experimentally test the validity of these hypotheses using an inter-country comparative method in Iran by analyzing the "province" and using the collective data of the second half of the 2021s. The results of this test, on the one hand, provided empirical support for the traditional hypothesis in sociology claiming that religion reinforces social cohesion. On the other hand, the research findings did not provide any empirical support for predicting the empirical secularization theories. Overall, the findings of the empirical test of the hypotheses of this study in Iran, using an inter-country comparative method and an inter-provincial analysis, showed that religion is an important factor in strengthening the social cohesion even when the effects of development are controlled and eliminated

The aim of this study was to achieve a theoretical consensus of the view of Iranian social scientists on socio-economic development. According to the research objectives, the qualitative approach and Delphi research method have been used. The participants of this research included all those who were in the field of development and had a book, article or research effect. Using a targeted sampling method, 15 of these people were selected as contributors. Kendall coordination coefficient was used to determin the degree of consensus among Delphi panel members and 70 percent was set as level of consensus. The results indicated that if we consider the government as a combination of the three parts of the government , judiciary and the people if they use a good governance strategy they will interact with each other and government with meritocracy , reducting the share of oil in the country’s budget , reform of administrative and tax system and establish key financial institutions such as an independent central bank and strong budget management on the other hand and judiciary by establishing the role of law, controlling corruption and improving transparency indicators in the country on the other hand , creates the environment and security for the market to create production, employment and economic prosperity. Meanwhile the participation of the people in the government has led to the realization of civil society, including a free press, parties and independent media, which act as a bridge between government and society and provide the basis for further monitoring of the performance of government and officials and their accountability. The combination and interaction of these parts together pave the way for achieving the goals of this strategy that’s mean: providing basic services, realization of social justice, strengthen democratic structures, extending the social security umbrella , improving the quality of the environment , increase productivity and, … to provide. In such a context, it will be easier to achieve socio-economic development.

The destruction of the environment as a global issue is mainly due to the behavior of human society. The increasing destruction of natural resources, which is one of the most important challenges in Iran's environmental environment, confirms the fact that social contexts provide the necessary basis for environmental behavior. From the perspective of environmental sociology, several factors influence the formation of environmental behaviors. According to Inglehart, socioeconomic development, Formative Security, Cognitive Mobilization, diminishing economic utility, objective problems- subjective values and structural-institutional factors are the forces that produce behavioral change. Social development, as the most fundamental factor in shift, provides a set of causal conditions necessary for environmental concern. The aim of this paper is to provide a modified model of Inglehart's theory of Post-metamaterial values regarding the prerequisites for environmentalism. According to this theory, the efficiency of the social structures of society in different dimensions expands the necessary bases for environmental behaviors. And the interaction between a set of factors provides opportunities and limitations for environmental behaviors. Economic development alone does not lead to Post-metamaterial values, Rather, a chain of causal relationships facilitates the rise of these values. Although economic security is one of the important determinants of Post-metamaterialism, other non-economic factors also contribute to the establishment of Post-metamaterialism. Obviously, the lack of these components is known as a missing factor in sustainable environmental behaviors.

The aim of this research is to study the effects of socio-economic development on Kurdish identity from a sociological perspective. Through qualitative research method of grounded theory, central categories of research were categorized in five areas including dominance of western identity over traditional identity, reconstruction of identity and its relative popularization, emergence of unequal development, heterogeneous development, and strengthening of Kurdish identity. The coding processes (open, central and selective) of the collected data resulted in the extraction of 883 subcategories and 279 major categories, which summed up in 37 categories. The causal and intervention factors, action strategies and consequences of action were then introduced. Finally, the main theme of research manifested as "emergence of development elements during fundamental changes in traditional identity" which indicates the "crisis-generating development and new form of identity".

Today, one of the most debatable issues of inequality is the issue of gender discrimination that is being discussed at various levels worldwide. This is an issue which if ignored; the society will not be able to move forward. The purpose of this study is to examine the sociological dimension of gender discrimination and its impact on socio-economic development (Tehran District 3). This is a survey research, which uses the descriptive-analytical method with questionnaire and Cochran's formula of sample size of 384 people in the first cluster sampling (blocking) and then in each block it applies simple random method to collect data. The statistical population is citizens of Tehran over 18 years of age, which is N = 296987. Pearson correlation and regression coefficients were used for data analysis by SPSS software. Results of correlation coefficient showed that economic factors with correlation (0.704) had the strongest relationship with social economic development and social factors (0.614). Political factors (0.331) were positively correlated and cultural factors (-0.618), biological factors (-0.404), and religious factors (-0.224) were negatively correlated with socioeconomic development. The results of regression coefficient also showed that economic factors accounted for 77% of the variations of socio-economic development variables, religious factors 21%, biological factors 46%, social factors 57%, cultural factors 61% and political factors affect 34%.

In the recent century, urbanization ratio has increased four times in Iran and now three quarters of the population lives in urban areas. Rapid urban transition of Iran is associated with an increase in differentiation and inequality not only among cities, but also within cities and among urban districts. Thus, one of the key features of Tehran metropolis is regional and spatial inequality. In this regard, the main aim of this study is to investigate the extent and patterns of spatial inequality using the socio-economic index in 22 districts of Tehran.
The study was designed in the developmental leveling framework and descriptive-analytical as research method was applied. Multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) procedure was used to measure the development of the districts. TOPSIS and factor analysis as technical methods and 16 social - economic indicators from 2011 census data were used.
Findings: Results indicated the highest degree of development belong to region 3 and the lowest belong to district 17 of Tehran. The highest score of development, respectively, for the 3, 1, 2, 6 and 5 districts and the lowest one for the districts of 17, 19, 18, 15, 16 and 20, respectively, were found. The Results of TOPSIS and factor analysis techniques in measuring and ranking of the 22 districts of Tehran based on socio-economic development index were almost similar with a very high positive correlation (0.99). Using cluster analysis, we classified the 22 districts of Tehran into five groups in terms of socio-economic development levels; four districts including 3, 1, 2 and 6 were grouped as developed areas. The districts of 5 and 7 were relatively developed areas. Six districts of 4, 8, 22, 13, 21, and 11 were categorized as areas with moderate development level. Five districts (10, 14, 9, 12 and 20) were in the less developed group. Finally, the five districts including 16, 15, 18, 19 and 17 were classified as underdeveloped (very poor) areas in Tehran.
Results indicated that there are significant differences between urban districts of Tehran city in terms of the socio-economic development index. Underdeveloped and less developed regions are located in the south and southeast of Tehran city; moderate and relatively developed areas are found in the central and west parts of Tehran; finally, developed (rich) areas are located in the northern half of the Tehran city. In general, spatial inequality in various aspects of development is the distinguishing feature of Tehran metropolis and also, urban spatial inequality is a key driver of urban unsustainable development

South - western drainage basin is the most important surface water resources in Iran. Due to its important, it has always been subject of study for socio-economic development planners. The implementation of plans to harness and transfer water in modern context that are incompatible with natural ecosystem, along with the lack of strategic land use planning have been led to environmental crisis in this area. This article intends to present a pathology of water resources in this drainage basin and to provide a sustainable solution in the context of critical geopolitics to strike a balance between economic development and natural ecosystem as an example for water and natural resources management throughout the country.

Along History, The confrontation with environmental threats, and to increase self-adjustment ability to unknown nature, human beings have created specific beliefs collectively. Those beliefs have no scientific and rational basis but sometimes have metaphysical or magical character which usually classified as "superstition". The main purpose of this study is examining individual's impression on entity and nature of Superstitions and recognizing factors influencing their understanding and perception. From methodological viewpoint, this research is based on Conventional approach. It means that, the main purpose of the study isn’t collecting and recognizing real superstition in the society, but the main goal understands people's conception and perception of what is superstition. All residents of 15 years and above in Isfahan province were as the target population for the current study. The total sample size of the current study consists of 6192 individuals, selected based on three variables of age, sex, and residential area according to the quota sampling in 25 sub-province and urban areas. The questionnaire was contained open questions and has completed by face-to-face interviews. Based on Conventional approach, every individual was asked to answer the questions after contemplating about his/ her superstitious beliefs and those of his/ her parents and residential sub-province as well. The results indicate that higher levels of socio-economic development and quality of life, like university education, leads to people's lower tendency to superstitious beliefs.

Rituals and religions in every country, rich in teachings and cultural elements of diverse areas of life, including work and economic activity to earn a livelihood for their followers. Since according to statistical data, the followers of Christianity, Buddhism and Confucianism in South Korea and Islam in Iran constitute the largest number of people, in this study using documentary method and theories of Max Weber, cultural elements related to economic and social development that is implicit in these religions are to be examined. In conclusion, it can be stated that South Korean cultural elements related to economic development, including: discipline, rationality, participation, non-fatalism, scientism, law orientation, work ethic, sense of ability of the authorities and people in the achievement of development, the spirit of accumulation of capital and so on, are internalized through teachings of various regulations and religions in individuals and also made it possible achieve to economic development. While in Iran, despite the emphasis of Islam religion, because of the historical and social conditions prevailing in the country, the suitable cultural elements of development is not internalized among individuals, so we are witnessing the slow progress of economic.
