    The high rate of economic growth, the provision of basic facilities, and job creation are products of any nation’s level of industrialisation. Globally, no nation is considered to have attained a concerted level of a high standard of living in the absence of economic development. However, Nigerian industrialisation has continued on a downward journey in the 21st century despite several industrial development policies. The paper is an attempt to find out how industries have fared and challenges facing their development in Nigeria in the 21st century. It is also an effort to unearth whether UNIDO has influenced Nigeria industrial development. The study adopted a descriptive research design and documentary data analysis method to elucidate the fact that the UNIDO supports have not significantly impacted industrialisation in Nigeria. The adoption of Top-Down as a theoretical model of analyses has validated the fundamental issues raised, informed the findings and subsequent recommendations of this paper.

    One big challenge every society has to deal with is the problem of road accidents and casualties after them. Many believe that this imposes huge economic costs on the society. Compared with developed countries, developing nations suffer from larger numbers of victims in this crisis that is why road accidents in these countries are known as one of the major causes of death. The aim of this study is to evaluate some economic factors which affect the shadow price of road accidents in Iran’s economy. This study analyzes the relationship between these factors and the shadow price in the form of ARDL  econometric methods during the period 1996-2018. According to the obtained results, it can be claimed that the GDP and shadow price of accidents and traffic correlate with each other. This correlation shows the shadow price in Iran increases along with economic growth, and after reaching a turning point, it begins to decline.  In other words, it could be said that the relation between the shadow price of road casualty and GDP in Iran seem to behave similarly to the inverted U-curve of Kuznets. Therefore, it was indicated that the Smeed’s law can be applied in Iran.

    Today, all societies are involved in violence, but what is concerning is its extent and prevalence. Accordingly, the present study aims to analyze the causal, contextual and intervening conditions, strategy action and consequences of the urban violence phenomenon, to explain the causes of urban violence and the lived experience of citizens in Tehran. The present study was conducted qualitatively using the underlying theoretical method in terms of research approach. In this research, after examining each sentence, we obtained 70 open codes, based on which, finally, 35 axial codes were obtained, from which 23 important categories were made. Can be said that the existence of violence in the urban environment leads to distrust and insecurity of citizens, and this can turn people in the community into gloomy, dissatisfied, sad people who are devoid of love and intimacy in the long run. They will make passive people who will not have a role in social life and the formation of a creative and prosperous society as active and creative actors, and will only be spectators. Also, social indifference will be formed in these people, which will lead to factors such as social incoherence, lack of interactions, disorder, irresponsibility, etc. Based on the components of our research, these will be the underlying factors in the occurrence of violence and will form a cycle that results in increased and pervasive violence.

    The aim of this study was to investigate the situation of sustainable development in education in Iran in comparison with some other developed / developing countries. The method of the present study is to use the secondary analysis approach. Using the secondary analysis approach, data from 7 countries of Iran, Brazil, France, Germany, South Korea, Norway and Turkey were collected and compared for different time periods. The findings of the present study showed that in almost all indicators in the field of sustainable development, Iran is in a growing situation, but there is still a significant gap between Iran and developed countries such as France, Germany, Norway and South Korea. The relatively high dropout rate of Iran compared to other developed countries shows that Iran has a more unstable situation than these countries.

    Social wellbeing has great impact on physical and social health, as well as, promoting environmental justice in local communities. Despite several studies on the concept of social wellbeing in relation to social environment, the majority of these works have been conducted in developed countries. The study aimed to investigate the association of social environment aspects (safety, social participation, social network, and social cohesion) with social wellbeing in low-economic neighborhoods in an Iranian adult population. Since many of the old textures of cities have the problem of low-income, poverty and poor conditions, the aim of this study was to improve the situation of low-income and poor neighborhoods in wellbeing. A total of 1100 questionnaires systematically were distributed among adults population residing in 4 low-income neighborhoods of Bandar Abbas city, Iran. Of these 924 qualified questionnaires were used for further analysis. Despite the low economic conditions, social wellbeing were reported high. In addition, women reported higher social wellbeing than men. Women were socially more active than men, however were perceived less safe compared to their counterparts. All aspects of social variables positively contributed with social wellbeing among men, while in women group no link between safety and social wellbeing were determined. Findings suggest that programming efforts and research should focus on increasing social activities that support social participation and social cohesion to promote social wellbeing among residents. Designing and implementing effective intervention to improve inviting spaces to do small and large social activities can help in rising social wellbeing in low-income neighbourhoods.
