Abstract
Social mobility takes shape of a physical aspect which makes it possible to translate downward mobility in the physical space. Huge inflation and decrease of purchasing power during the recent years have led to downward mobility of middle class in Iran. Various facets of decrease in physical and social space have to be studied. For this purpose, 20 cases who had experienced such situation have been interviewed. Making use of the most famous coding family of grounded theory, this research categorizes the interviews into contexts, causes, turning points, consequences of involuntary exit from city or neighborhood, and strategies of the outcasts. The research shows that people long after move to new place assume that residence in the new place is temporary. They are ashamed of ascribing themselves to that place trying to actively keep distance from the inhabitants. This along with exclusion from family-friend network of relations and the isolation resulted from this exclusion diminishes any possibility for their political agency in order to make a change in the state of affairs.

There is relationship among intergenerational variables, gender, age groups, income, type of job, marital status, education, place of residence, age of marriage, presence in the community, and social capital variable. There are differences among different generations in terms of presence in society, individual and social freedoms, social trust, and social mobility.

Abstract
The present study aims to investigate the effect of structural variables such as the cycle of isolation, immobility and social depression taken place according to the socio-economic base of the elderly. This study was conducted on retired elderly people during the outbreak of Corona disease with the aim of analyzing the effects of the mentioned variables in pandemic conditions. The statistical population is related to the retired elderly in Ahvaz city during the last 5 years, of which 196 people were selected. The collected data were analyzed in the form of structural equations using pls-smart3 and spss software. The research findings showed that the impact of the entire socio-economic base on the variables; physical mobility (-0.378), mental mobility (-0.707), social exhaustion (0.422) and cycle of isolation (0.730). Also the effects of the total isolation cycle variable on the variables; mental mobility is (-0.488) and social depression (0.439), and the total effects of physical mobility on social depression were (-0.270). Therefore, the variable of continuation of the cycle of isolation predicts the level of social depression on the socio-economic status of the elderly (path coefficient (0.302). Socio-economic base affects the level of mobility on the physical dimension, but this influence on the mental dimension has not been confirmed. Also between the continuation of the cycle of isolation and social depression, the mental mobility variable plays a mediating role (0.265). Therefore, the results of this research can help improve the quality of life of the elderly in critical conditions and also help health and care organizations in planning and providing better services for this vulnerable group.

Abstract
The present paper, studies Intra-Generational social mobility in Kashan as a transitional society. Knowing the level of mobility, its effective factors and the strategies used in this process has been the main goal of the research. Giddens, Mc-Clealand and Bourdieu's theories, form the main theoretical base of the research. The statistical population of the research includes all citizens aged 25 to 64 in Kashan, out of which 385 people were selected through Cochran's formula and studied by cluster sampling method. Findings show that, the amount of intra-generational mobility relatively equals 40%, the majority of which experienced only one degree i.e. short-range mobility. Variables such as education and lack of belief in chance have played an effective role in the intra-generational upward mobility of the respondents. The studied society has mainly used economic and educational strategies in order to promote intra-generational upward mobility.
