The methodology of current study is qualitative and in order to collect data, sampling and deep interviews were used. The study was conducted on 50 persons of Eyvan citizens who were divided into various groups of school students, university students, employees, experts and workers and each group consisted of 10 persons. The results were recorded, transcribed and analyzed according to open, axial and optional coding.
