Abstract
Contemporary environmental poetry is a subjective kind of poetry with an organic totality in which tradition and modernism are challenged clearly. Environmental poetry is on the peak of the pyramid of local literature and is regarded as the background for classical poetry. Highlighting environmental ideas and creating such a room in the linguistic environment creates a specific piece of poetry with a particular application. Asadollah Emadi, Ali Akbar Mahjorian and Jalil Gheisari are among the pioneering poets in environment poetry in Mazandaran whose environment poetry elements enriched their poems formally. Asadollah Emadi, Ali Akbar Mahjorian and Jalil Gheisari are among the pioneering poets in environment poetry in Mazandaran whose environment poetry elements enriched their poems formally. In addition to composing poems, these poets have produced novels and research works in issues related to culture. In this study, geographical, socio-cultural and economical features are investigated in the poetic works of the three environment-oriented poets in Mazandaran. Results show that environment-orientation, imagery, patriotism, disobedience and objection, attention to local and tribal culture (customs, traditions, beliefs) and local language are among the features which occur in high frequency. Research methodology employed in this study is descriptive-analytical using library and the Internet resources.

Core discussion network (CDN) is one of the most important elements of any society which has experienced important developments and changes. This study aimed to describe and analysis younger adult and older adult’s CDN, and investigating changes in their CDN. This study was conducted by survey method and the study sample was 600 young people aged 15-29 and adults aged 40-65 in Shiraz who were selected using multi-stage random sampling method. Core discussion network was completed using a social network assessment questionnaire between two generations, younger adults and older adults. The important descriptive results of this study show that the size of CDN, network density, frequency of interactions and closeness of the older adult’s network are greater than younger adults. In contrast, ethnic heterogeneity and social support received from network are also greater for young people. The inferential results show that although the test of the difference between structural, interactive and functional dimensions of the younger adults and older adult’s CDN is not significant, but the differences of some of the indexes of each of them are significant. In general, it seems that the CDN of people in Shiraz is changing towards network individualism.
