The existence of many different ethnic groups and subcultures in Iran has created a very rich cultural context, which has sometimes led to the same differences, disputes and conflicts between different ethnic groups, which has led to crime. In this study, the factors affecting ethnic divergences and its impact on crime and social tensions of these ethnicities among the people of Urmia have been identified.

The present research has been done in terms of collecting information qualitatively and in terms of method of implementation in the context of theoretical method (with a social interpretive approach). The statistical population of the study is 18 people of Azeri ethnicity in Urmia who participated in this study based on purposive sampling method and considering the theoretical saturation criterion. Qualitative data were collected using in-depth interview technique and after coding, the main concepts were obtained and by eliminating similar concepts and integrating them, the grounded context theory strategy was used to present the final theory.

Research findings were categorized into 87 concepts. Among these concepts, five main categories were identified: mother tongue language and literature disrespect by others, political dissatisfaction, ecosystem destruction, unfair distribution of wealth and resources of the country. The resulting underlying theory is presented in the form of a paradigm model that includes causal conditions, intervening conditions, action strategies, and consequences.

The five main categories obtained are the most important factors influencing ethnic divergence that have caused social tensions. The core category of research is the concept of "political dissatisfaction", which includes other main categories; if this issue is resolved, in the shadow of national security and respect for national identity, the occurrence of crime and social tensions resulting from ethnic divergence will be reduced.

With the decline in childbearing desires and ideals, the demand for long acting and permanent contraceptive methods (LAPCMs) increases. This paper aims to estimate the prevalence of and demand for LAPCMs, and explain ethnic differences in the demand for LAPCMs among Kurd and Turk married women aged 15-49 in Urmia, Iran. Data were taken from the Urmia Fertility Survey (UFS), conducted in a sample of 770 households in May-Jun 2014. The results show a greater contraceptive prevalence rate among Turks than Kurds (91.5% vs. 82.1%). The prevalence of LAPCMs is higher among Turkish than Kurdish women (45.7% vs. 20.8%), and the demand of these methods are also higher among Turks than Kurds (82% vs. 57%). Multivariate analysis showed that ethnicity along with demographic characteristics plays an important role in predicting the likelihood of the demand for LAPCMs. The gap between the use and demand are considerable in both ethnic groups and differences are significant statistically. Failure to meet this demand can lead to an increase to unwanted pregnancies and clandestine induced abortions among Kurdish and Turkish women.

This paper investigates the relationship between environmental knowledge- both Systematic knowledge and action related knowledge- and energy consumption behavior in Urmia as an environmental. Scholars on environmental studies like Borden and Schettino (1979), Schahn and Holzer(1990), Kaiser et.al.(1999), and Bayard and Joley (2006) believe that there is an association between environmental knowledge and environmental significant behaviors. This research hypothesizes that there is a positive relationship between environmental knowledge and environmental behavior, and survey method is applied with cluster sampling method to choose the samples. The overall results show that there was no significant relationship between environmental knowledge and environmental significant behavior. The probable reasons of this controversial result are discussed thoroughly and several suggestions are put forward for further studies.

This descriptive study aims to investigate factors affecting domestic violence against women in Urmia City of Iran. Since the researchers had no access to court documents, which are considered private evidence, the data for the research were gathered at two police stations, which more frequently received such complaints. The population under study comprised women who filed complaints of domestic violence at police stations number 11 and 17 within the period of one year (March 2001 to March 2002) in Urmia City. The required information was extracted from the available cases with respect to the purposes of the research. Results of the descriptive statistics indicated that 56 percent of violence against women were carried on women between 17 and 32 years old. In addition, 60 percent of victims had primary education while 25 percent lacked schooling. Response to the question that “who used violence” consisted of 82 percent by husbands, 3 percent by fathers, and 7 percent by sons. Reports on type of violence included: 50 percent physical, 25 percent emotional, and 23 percent as financial. In attempting to classify reasons why violence was erupted, finding indicated: 20 percent addiction, 29 percent worries about subsistence. Most men who used violence were unskilled or unemployed workers. The real number of women who are experiencing domestic violence can perhaps never be known because most cases are not reported. Cultural reservations inhibit most women from revealing the secrecy of domestic violence which otherwise would bring about shame and isolation. The main motivation to carry this study was to portray the major factors causing domestic violence. Structures and policies to support the safety of women have been lacking.
