Street labor children have been a new emerging phenomenon as well as a main concern about modern society. Due to the vulnerability of these children, and inability of governments to tackle their mounting problems, an increasing involvement of NGOs in helping these children have recently emerged. Having believed that the best way to deal with the issue of street children is to empower them so that they can live normally, this paper aims to study the role of NGOs in the empowerment of street labor children in Tehran through using a field research method. For this purpose, three dimensions of empowerment, including education, living skills and health were chosen for the study. It was assumed that NGOs initiatives affect the difficult states of the children positively through following both NGOs initiatives and the children socio-economic background. Findings indicated that most of the respondents believed that NGOs activities have had considerable effect on changing wretched conditions of the children. Moreover, the analysis of the data showed that NGOs initiatives are significantly associated with the empowerment of the children. The paper concludes that to enhance the state of the children, the active involvement of NGOs is necessary. Otherwise, they are rarely able to develop themselves, though this involvement should be based on a comprehensive approach. That is, any successful policy or initiative not only should focus on the street children as a very target group, but also on family as a major basis for the children misery and delinquency.

در این مقاله سعی شده تا جایگاه زنان در برنامه چهارم توسعه بررسی و در مقایسه با سایر برنامه های پیشین مورد واکاوی قرار گیرد. در مرحله بعد، شاخص های توسعه در مدت زمان اجرای برنامه چهارم به کمک داده های ملی و بین المللی مورد مطالعه جنسیتی قرار گرفته تا چگونگی تحقق این برنامه در عمل مشخص شود. این پژوهش با استفاده از روش اسنادی، کتابخانه ای و روش تحلیل داده های مرتبط انجام شده است. اطلاعات در خصوص شاخص های توسعه عمدتا برگرفته از داده های انتشار یافته قابل دسترس مرکز آمار ایران، سازمان بهداشت جهانی، گزارش شکاف جنسیتی مجمع جهانی اقتصاد و نیز بانک جهانی است. مطالعه جنسیتی مفاد برنامه نشان می دهد درحالیکه نقطه تمایز برنامه چهارم توسعه نسبت به برنامه های پیشین، مبتنی بر ایجاد زمینه برای افزایش مشارکت اقتصادی، اجتماعی زنان است، واقعیت امر به گونه دیگری است. به عبارت دیگر اگر چه شاخص های بهداشت و سلامت و نیز آموزش، خصوصا آموزش عالی حکایت از بهبود وضعیت زنان دارد، شاخص های اقتصادی و نیز سیاسی نسبت به برنامه سوم توسعه و نیز انتظارات مندرج در برنامه چهارم، رشد مطلوبی نداشته است. این مهم، در کنار درک برخی استلزامات سیاستگزاری، ضرورت اتخاذ رویکردی استراتژیک در برنامه های کلان معطوف به زنان را برجسته می سازد.

School Bullying is a complex, widespread issue involving students for years however this psychosocial phenomenon has gained attention among researchers from 1980s. Most of the researches on bullying are mainly done by psychological perspective, thus this study tries to highlight the social factors associated with bullying. Given the aim of the study, three of the most famous criminology theories: General theory of crime, Differential association theory and General strain theory (GST) were chosen as the theoretical framework and three types of bullying (verbal, physical & social) were considered. Based on the theories It has been hypothesized that there is a positive correlation between low self control and bullying, differential association and bullying and general strain and bullying. The population of the study consists of all the high school students from first to third grade in Sari's urban area. A total of 410 persons were selected by stratified random sampling proportional to size. The results showed that 7.6 percent of the respondents never involved in bullying. 65.4 percent of students have bullying in low level, 22.2 percent in moderate and 4.9 percent of those in high extents. Also boys bully more than girls. Multiple regression analysis results also show that the variables low Self-control, differential association, and general strain are the strongest predictors of bullying.

هدف این پژوهش، مطالعه جامعه شناختی رابطه کارگران، کارفرمایان و دولت در تنظیم روابط کار صنعتی است. گفتگوی اجتماعی سه جانبه در روابط کار صنعتی ایران تحقق نیافته و همواره این رابطه درگیر تنش‌های مختلفی بوده است. بررسی این رابطه تنش آمیز (اجتماعی – فرهنگی) در بنگاه های اقتصادی زمینه مطالعات میان رشته ای را فراهم می کند. نظریه های جامعه شناسی به تبیین علل بروز این تنش‌ها از ظهور انقلاب صنعتی تا رشد صنایع در قرن بیستم پرداخته‌اند..مثلا مارکس به تبیین این رابطه از نظر تحلیل طبقاتی پرداخت؛ نظریه پدر سالاری، روابط سازمانی، نظریه حدوث و گفتمان فوکو نیز این رابطه را از زوایای دیگری بررسی نموده‌اند، که راهنما و لنز نظری محقق در توصیف و درک تاریخ معاصر روابط کارگری و کارفرمایی ایران بوده‌اند. این تحقیق به دنبال پاسخ گویی به این سؤال اصلی است که وضعیت گفتگوی اجتماعی در روابط کار صنعتی کنونی ما چگونه است؟ یافته های این تحقیق بر اساس روش تحقیق کیفی چندگانه و از طریق مصاحبه عمیق فردی، گروهی متمرکز جمع آوری شده است. که بیان گر این امرند که در حال حاضر از یک سو وجود تشکل‌های مختلف کارگری و کارفرمایی، ضعف هماهنگی در بین آن‌ها، عدم تمرکز در بین تشکل‌های کارگری و کارفرمایی و نرسیدن به یک دستور مشترک عامل مهمی در عدم برقراری گفتگوی اجتماعی در محیط کار است. از سوی دیگر با استفاده از نظریه گفتمان می‌توان بیان کرد که تولید و درک مختلف معنایی از گفتگوی اجتماعی توسط کنش گران مختلف در روابط کار صنعتی نیز سبب کنش‌های متفاوت و متعارضی شده که گفتگوی اجتماعی را با چالش مواجه کرده است. نگرش پدرسالارانه کارفرمایان به کارگران وجود گفتگوی اجتماعی را به ضرر منافع جمعی دانسته، تشکلات مختلف کارگری نیز قادر نبودند حول مساله مشترک خود به اجماع برسند و همین امر موجب طرد گفتگوی اجتماعی شده است، همچنین منفعت طلبی کارفرمایان سبب شده تا هیچ تفویض اقتداری از سوی آن‌ها به کارگران در محیط کار صورت نگیرد، به نظر می‌رسد که کنش‌های دو طرف بر اساس اصل کنش عقلانی و منافع جمعی انعکاس یافته، اصل گفتگوی اجتماعی را نقض و به جای اینکه هر دو طرف بخشی از منافع خود را معطوف به طرف دیگر نماید تا منافع مشترک به حداکثر برسد، در صدد به حداکثر رساندن منافع خود هستند، پدیده ای که به آن تنش و تضاد در روابط سازمانی و صنعتی گفته می‌شود

Tehran's distressed areas due to the lack of flexibility with unimaginable speed of socio-economic changes, technology changes and etc. lost their effectiveness over time. And now has faced with various problems such as environmental degradation and spatial qualities, physical exhaustion and social issues. These problems caused by spatial streams that producing locational discrimination. Therefore, the causes of Distressed Areas of Tehran should be examined under the spatial factors and relationships. Accordingly, the aim of study was to evaluate the impact of the production and distribution of urban space in spatial injustice of Tehran Deteriorated Areas. This study is analytical and the study question is causal question. The research methodology is analytical and research approach is structural.Because they basically pay attention to multiple representations of social reality. To investigate the spatial interactions of Urban Distressed Areas, we should return to the beginning of changes from feudal mode of production into the capitalist mode of production in country. Production process of studied distressed areas have been made gradually after the changes. So, the effect of spatial elements in the formation of Location discrimination and Tehran distressed areas should be considered to extracting mechanism of spatial injustice manufacturer. In general it can be concluded that the spatial streams over time aggravate unfair allocation of resources (which causes the formation of urban decay), and have increased spatial changes speed. Since the low-income groups because of the lack of power and knowledge, don’t have ability to adapt and take advantage of the caused situation to increase the resources, in location, are enclosed with spatial streams. Distressed area of Tehran is one of these places.

This means that with increased participation in religious communities, participant's social capital increases. The investigators suggest future research to analyze the content of the messages in religious communities can also affect different dimension of social capital.
