Sociology is a science that explains social phenomena. But the nature of causal explanation in the social sciences has always been controversial. One of the main disputes in the causal explanation of social phenomena is about the relationship between knowledge and value, whether it is necessary and possible for the social scientist to avoid the entry of cultural values or whether values are the logical elements of causal analysis. In this case, how can a value-laden causal analysis be objective and valid for others? The response of the classics and contemporaries of sociology and social theory to the possibility of "objectivity of value-based analysis" can be formulated in the form of two competing theses. Positive thesis; Causal analysis is Value-Neutrality and objective. From post-positive; Causal analysis is value-laden but objective. The present paper argues through the analysis of Weber's post-positivist theory that, first; Causal analysis is value-laden. Second; value-laden causal explanation is not only detrimental to objectivity but also a condition for achieving objectivity in the social sciences.

This study aims to examine the spatial differences in the quality of life of citizens in three urban tissues (old, middle and modern) of Nowshahr a city in Mazandaran Province, Iran. It also examines the impact of artificial environment conditions, such as infrastructure, services, and facilities, on the quality of life of citizens in different urban tissues. Considering the differences in the physical, social, cultural and economic conditions of these tissues, assessing the quality of life indicators can provide better and more efficient thematic and local programs to enhance the quality of life of the citizens.

Methods and Data: 

The study employed a survey method to gather data from individuals aged 20 and above residing in Nowshahr's three urban areas (old, middle, and modern). A sample size of 380 was determined using Cochran's formula.

The results indicate that the quality of life for citizens is unsatisfactory in both objective and subjective dimensions, regardless of whether they reside in old or new urban areas in Nowshahr. However, the situation is slightly different in the middle urban area. Analysis of the impact of background variables on quality of life reveals that these variables can have varying influences depending on the type of urban tissue and residents' location.

This research highlights the importance of considering both the characteristics of the built environment and living place, as well as the individual and social characteristics of people, in urban planning, especially in social planning. It is crucial to take a holistic approach to ensure that urban environments are designed to meet the needs of all individuals and communities. This can help us to build more livable and sustainable cities for everyone.

Key Message: 

Urban environments are complex systems that need diverse and context-specific approaches and methods to improve the quality of life and urban environments. Understanding these complexities is crucial for comprehending the city and developing strategies that promote social harmony and continuity, ultimately leading to cohesive urban communities.

Considering the failure of the objective approach in measuring youth well-being and the discourse turn of social policy towards subjective well-being, the present article, after conceptualizing subjective well-being, evaluates its situation among Iranian youth.

Although one of the most common methods of providing social security in Third World societies is the use of coercive factors: experience has shown that despite the rapid availability of this type of security, its stability and durability are low and insignificant. The stability and stability of security can only be achieved by institutionalizing it in a society with a sense of participation and public responsibility for social security. The purpose of this study is the role of promoting citizens' social participation in the social capital of the police.

The present study is a correlation in terms of applied purpose and in terms of descriptive research method. In order to collect data, the standard questionnaire of social participation Sadat Ahmadi Bajestani (2014) and the standard questionnaire of social capital were used. The validity of the questionnaires was confirmed by respected professors and its reliability was obtained using Cronbach's alpha formula for the social participation questionnaire of 0.91 and the social capital questionnaire of 0.78, respectively. The statistical population of this study included all citizens of Sari city, 347,000, which is a statistical sample based on Cochran's formula; 384 people. In order to inferentially analyze the data, SPSS software and Pearson correlation coefficient, regression and Friedman test were used.

The test shows that social participation and its components have a positive and significant effect on social capital. Also, according to Friedman test, mental responsibility with a coefficient of 1.60 is in the first priority, as a result, it has the greatest effect on social capital and objective responsibility with a coefficient of 1.40 is in the second priority, thus having the least effect on social capital in citizens

The higher the level of social participation in the formal and informal level of society, the greater the amount of social capital.

Residential security is one of the major challenges of low-income settlement such that according to the Human Housing Organization, housing insecurity is referred to as a cycle of misery and an indicator of deprivation in these areas. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explain the physical factors of the objective security of low-income settlements, an important issue that has been discussed in the form of new theories of urban planning. The present research is applied in terms of purpose and casework in terms of methodology. The method of collecting data and information is in the form of documents and fields that have been used. The statistical population was Vakil-Abad and Haji Pirloo neighborhoods of Urmia. The data have been used as documents from law enforcement reports in recent years. In order to achieve objective security by relying on accurate theft statistics, GIS software has been used by the model of crime hotspots. The results of the analysis of crime hotspots in the study area (Vakil-Abad and Haji Pirloo neighborhoods) indicate that there is more than 29.92% of the total area in the safe area with a p-factor of more than 90%. Only 12.61% of the total area is located in the area of the crime hotspot with a p coefficient of more than 90%. Also, there is an inverse relationship between GI coefficient and fineness of parts, number of floors, building quality, level of openings and brightness. Among these variables, the variable of number of floors and the amount of openings has a weak correlation. Also, the two variables of mixing land-use and permeability are directly related to the GI coefficient. The existence of a direct relationship with the GI indicates that considered building block is located in the range of the hot spot, in other words, in the center of the crime.

Place is not essentially a specific point on the Earth, it is a position in which human values and mental images form. Nowadays, increasing usage of virtual space and transforming human actions and social interactions from real world to virtual one show the increase of time spent in cybernetic world. This study compares the concept of physical and virtual places. It also aims to investigate capability of the conversion of virtual space to virtual place and the possibility of existing sense of place in it. In this regard, after addressing the concepts of place, virtual space and the possibility of transforming cyberspace to cyberplace, perception of place and it’s compatibility with virtual place is reviewed. Succeeding, the phenomenon of sense of place, its levels and then the probability of experiencing them in virtual world is studied. Lastly, after perusal of sense of place components, the comparative comparison between real and virtual sense of place will be cited. Finally, it is concluded that although virtual spaces have the capability of becoming a place, the sense of place cannot be experienced completely in it.
