The aim of the present study is to retrieve and analyze the meanings of the concept of the culture of apartment from the perspective of the residents of apartments. For this purpose, qualitative research method (descriptive-analytical) has been used. The study population is apartment residents in areas 2 and 9 in Mashhad. The sample size of the study is 21 apartment residents based on theoretical saturation, followed by purposive sampling. Research data collection tools, interviews and semi-structured interviews have been selected. Maxqda software has been used to analyze the data. The research data has been analyzed by thematic analysis. The findings of the present study show that the categories (constructive social relations, social trust, social participation, cultural diversity, new lifestyle), including indicators and criteria are defined by residents in the form of apartment culture and have the greatest impact on the behavior of individuals in collective living environments. As a result, if residents act in both functional and structural dimensions based on accepted Iranian-Islamic values and norms, the improvement of culture in collective life and institutionalizing it in the interactions of daily life to change behavioral habits of residents, will be provided.

The present study has attempted to explore the effective social factors (humanitarian factors) on sustainable development in four spectra including promoting, inhibitory, internal, and external factors among native inhabitants of the city of Chabahar. Nineteen indicators were studied in order to identify the main factors. Also a questionnaire containing 100 questions was distributed among 318 native inhabitants. The reliability value of the questionnaire was 0.75. Regarding data analysis, the KMO and Bartlett's test of sphericity were used for determining the adequacy and selection of proper data. Finally, thirteen factors and thirty nine items assessing the status of these factors among the native residents of Chabahar were extracted and named as follows: the internal promoting social factors (four general indicators and two indicators specific to the people with work experience) resulting to the sum of the total varience equal to %73.341, including “social trust” (low) , “social participation” (intermediate), “interpersonal trust” (intermediate), “collective spirit” (high), and “job commitment” (intermediate); the internal inhibitory factors (sum of total varience equal to (%65.602) including “restricting women’s independence” (low), “religious fanaticism” (low), and “racial distinction” (relatively low); the external promoting factors (sum of total varience equal to (%61.920) including “political freedom and social opportunities” (low), “justice-centeredness” (very low), and “ensure transparency” (low); the external inhibitory social factors (sum of total varience equal to (%59.784) including “inefficiency of rules” (high) and “ethnic discrimination” (high)

In Iranian higher education, the university management system (UMS) has taken on an overly pyramidal and centralized structure and has created a minimal intervention space for stakeholders, especially students which have challenged some of the functional areas of universities. This research shows the lack of proper development of participatory culture in universities as one of the main reasons. The objective of the paper is to design a mechanism to promote student participation in the UMS based on the development of cultural components. Using the heuristic mixed method, first in the qualitative section to identify culturally effective components on student participation in a purposeful judgmental method, a sample of 15 studies was selected and 50 components were counted systematically by fuzzy Delphi method through experts consisting of 17 people. In the quantitative section, the current status of student participation based on cultural components were identified in the form of descriptive-survey method, through a researcher-made questionnaire from the perspective of 381 people from the stakeholder community of the Islamic Azad University, Science and Research Branch, selected by simple random sampling method and then assessed using SPSS software. Students' participation in the Iranian UMS based on cultural components is not favorable. The formation of non-interactive processes, unwillingness to work in a team, centralization of universities, lack of appropriate participatory structures along with the weakness of cultural components are all important obstacles. This study indicates that 41 cultural and social components in 4 institutional dimensions (12 components), attitude dimension (13 components), behavioral dimension (8 components) and value dimension (9 components) affect the promotion of student participation in the Iranian UMS. Strengthening these components can lead to the promotion of the university management system in the form of a "council system".

The present study has aimed to investigate changes in students' attitudes and believes that ultimately lead to the formation of their final identity after entering the university. Hence a qualitative narrative approach has been used. The statistical population comprised all students of Kurdistan University in Iran. Using convenience sampling, 14 students who volunteered to participate in the study and express their narratives were selected. Data was collected using semi-structured interviews, which continued to reach a theoretical saturation. The duration of the interviews varied from 40 to 60 minutes. The Braun and Clark method were used to analyze the data and achieve the main themes. The main issue in this study was the changes in students' believes and the formation of their identity in different fields, which were influenced by several factors. According to the results, the main extracted themes are: political identity, spiritual identity, scientific identity and social identity of students, which has been formed as a result of attending university in a different way than the time of arrival.

The purpose of this study is to provide a framework for the university business model as a solution for universities to cooperate with businesses. The method of the present study is a qualitative case study and the research method of document analysis, focal groups have been used to collect data. In the documentation section, 60 documents related to academic business models were selected and analyzed. Also, in the focus groups section, 5 business and university experts were selected by criterion sampling method. In order to analyze the data, the most important techniques of reading texts and studying sources including classification and conceptual tables and data reduction were used. In order to validate the findings, the researcher's self-review criteria were used during the data collection and analysis process, as well as the development and rich description of the data to ensure portability. The results of the analysis of business models showed that universities can review and revise their main functions in order to be socially and economically effective in society in the form of business models. Also, the results of developing the academic business model framework showed that the cooperation between universities and businesses can be divided into five levels, including; “Defined process”, “Factors”, “Environment”, “Action” and “Stakeholders”. In general, universities that seek social and economic effectiveness in society can adopt the framework as well as the context and implementation of the business framework and measures recommended in this research.

The social structures of the society, as a network, are made up of a set of individuals and the links between them, stimulants and groups; the best way to study social structure is to study the relationships between its members. This study seeks to see how reference to megamalls and commercial complexes impact social networks (bonding, weak or local). The statistical sample of the present study is 416 individuals from three commercial complexes located in Tehran, the Iranian capital, and local stores within 500 meter of these shopping centers. Furthermore, the respondents are selected in shopping malls and local shops using a systematic sampling method considering their age and sex composition. Data from the sample was obtained through interviews. Findings of the study show that megamalls, with a coefficient of 0/17, directly impact the family social network, and with a coefficient of 0/145, have a negative impact on the local social network. On the other hand, local social network with a coefficient of 0/640 directly impacts weak tie social network. Also, the family social network with a coefficient of 0/081 has a direct effect on weak tie social network.

The emergence of social networks as a new, attractive and inclusive space has changed the dimensions and the structure of society. As a result, it has transformed previous identities and encouraged the creation of new ones. These changes have directly and indirectly affected the lives of young people. The present article is the result of research that social networks are interrelated with the cultural identity of young people and their families. For this purpose, based on the theoretical frameworks of identity and media, and relying on the latest available sources and information and research method of data theory of the foundation (52 concepts, and 5 categories), the impact of social networks on youth cultural identity ( Students of the Faculty of Social Sciences, Azad University of Tehran (center) has been examined. Given that youth is very important as a social situation, it was selected for this study. The results show that social networks are a series of motivational processes that fundamentally transform social-cultural identity, relationships, individuals, families, and phenomena such as individualism, diminishing parental authority, alienation, and growing anxiety.

Entrepreneurship ecosystem is a combination of cultural, economic, political and social elements within an area interacting with each other to entrepreneurial activity in an environment conducive. The present study aims to achieve a model for the formation of entrepreneurial ecosystem in Iran using Grounded Theory. The main basis of data collection in this theory is to conduct semi-structured interviews with knowledgeable people and experts in the field. Sampling was theoretical using non-probabilistic methods of targeted and snowball by conducting interviews with 13 experts familiar with the subject of entrepreneurship ecosystem and university professors. To ensure the validity of the Qualitative research, the necessary studies including acceptability and verifiability were performed. Hence to confirm the reliability of the interviews, the retest method and the intra-subject agreement method were used. After conducting interviews and collecting information, the obtained codes were analyzed and the final model was obtained based on the three steps of open, axial and selective coding. The final model consists of a set of central categories, causal conditions, interventionist conditions, and strategies and finally the consequences and results of the formation of the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Iran. Each of these conditions and the components of the model has its own variables and categories which by paying attention to these isues achieves the ultimate goal of forming an entrepreneurial ecosystem of social and cultural development.
