The Role of Cultural Diversity in Urban Social Problems (Case Study of District 14 of Tehran)

The city is a living and dynamic phenomenon and its management requires knowing its features and requirements. The main factor of identity and the formation of characteristics of cities can be found in the reasons for their emergence. Cities that have been formed in a non-formative process and as a result of migration due to job, economic, educational, etc. needs have a long way to go to achieve a comprehensive concept of the city. In fact, the reasons for the emergence of cities can explain their social, cultural and even physical structures. This research is descriptive-analytical based on the nature of the subject and goals. The statistical population is 100725. The sample size is 384. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software, t-test and Pearson correlation coefficient. The results show that the first hypothesis of Pearson correlation coefficient (0.391) and the second hypothesis of mean T analysis (3.29) is larger than the population mean (3). Therefore, both hypotheses are confirmed. Using the existing social capacities in the social structure of ethnic groups living in the 14th district of Tehran can be effective in reviving culture and cultural factors such as the existence of local institutions, religious institutions, trusted people in neighborhoods, etc. and be effective in reducing social problems.
