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.

Abstract
Industrial development has been one of the most consequential drivers of social and cultural changes in societies in recent centuries. Industrialization has led to different kinds of socialization and brought new values to traditional societies. This research aims to shed light on industrial socialization's impact on religious and gender values in Pars Special Economic Energy Zone. The data has been collected from a survey among residents (aged 18-65 years old). Also the samples have been divided into two groups (who socialize before or after oil and gas industries development in this region). The SPSS and AMOS have been conducted to use multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) and structural equation modeling (SEM) methods. The results show that gender inequality and religious values are less common among those below 30 years old. This group has been socialized after industrial development in the field. In other words, respondents who grow in the industrial space have more egalitarian values about women and more secular believes.

Abstract
Since the advent, intensification, and expansion of modernity, the relationship between religion and religiosity and development has been one of the most enduring and intense cultural, scientific, policy-making, and day-to-day challenges. In Iran, with the occurrence of the two constitutional revolutions and the Islamic Revolution and the emergence of liberal and fundamentalist religious ideas and currents, this challenge has emerged and intensified. In Iran, the relationship between religion and modernity and related debates and challenges have been mostly analyzed and studied at the level of insight or at the level of micro survey. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between the level of social-cultural development and the level of religious religiosity at the provincial level. The research method was a documentary method of secondary analysis. First, the level of social and cultural development of different provinces and the level of their religious religiosity are calculated; after the relationship between the two variables is investigated. Provincial clustering was done based on indicators of social and cultural development and religiosity using the K-means cluster method. According to the research results, at the individual level, with the exception of Khorasan Razavi and Kurdistan, respectively, all provinces that have a higher rank in terms of cultural and social development indicators have a lower rank in terms of ritual religiosity. Also at the cumulative level, provinces with low and medium levels of development have a higher degree of religiosity than developed provinces; But the difference between the religiosity of the less developed and the moderately developed provinces and the average developed is not statistically significant.

Abstract
In reviewing the evolutions of sociological development in Iran, quantitative and qualitative changes have been considered as an important indicator in recognizing these developments. This paper, based on a generation approach, examines texts that have examined sociology in Iran. In the study of the meaning of sociology among generations, it is a question of how the approaches that have been studied in the past by sociology have and what have changed to date. Using content quality analysis methods, 186 written works have been reviewed and discussed specifically in sociology in Iran in the 70's and 80's. The dominant discourse on existing analyzes of sociology in Iran is developmental discourse with a pathologic orientation. The third and fourth generations see sociology as serving national development and solving social problems. But the new generation brings less prominence to politics and has a more tendency towards history and qualitative approaches in the study of sociology in Iran.

Abstract
The issue of women's empowerment is one of the most fundamental issues of contemporary societies, which has an inevitable link with their development. In Iran, in the fourth development program, women's empowerment was included among macro and executive policies. To that extend, many researches in different fields have tried to evaluate and measure the issue of women's empowerment in the country. The aim of the current research is to meta-analyze the studies conducted in the field of women's economic empowerment to provide a comprehensive picture of the findings and characteristics of the obtained studies. Qualitative meta-analysis method provides the possibility of evaluating and reviewing studies in two parts, formal and structural characteristics as well as content findings. A total of 70 reviewed studies including various articles and theses shared the two keywords of economic empowerment and women. A range of virtual databases such as Normagz and humanities database to the libraries of prestigious universities of the country are the source of data collection. Results show since mid-1990s, we have faced a considerable number of studies in this field. The applied methods are mostly quantitative and based on large-scale questionnaires. The results of the descriptive findings show that the executive policies of this field are mainly partial, in line with non-functional support (dependent) and without enough attention on the specificities and different coordinates of its fields, and there is a need to focus on the different needs of women, gender and cultural norms, and the infrastructure of each region.

Abstract
This article examines the model for utilizing the gaming industry in Iranian charitable organizations. In the recent years, the intersection of the gaming world and philanthropy has garnered significant attention through innovative approaches such as interactive environmental games and charity streams. These approaches not only challenge negative stereotypes about gamers but also enable the collection of donations and public education on charitable issues. Despite the high number of video game players in Iran, this potential has yet to be seriously leveraged to support philanthropic organizations. This study explores global experiences and examines the opportunities and challenges in the field through interviews with eight experienced gaming industry experts. It offers practical strategies for developing these relationships in Iran. Additionally a paradigmatic model for using the gaming industry in philanthropy in Iran has been designed. This research indicates that video games, with their access to a large and diverse population, can help raise awareness and attract donations for charitable causes. Furthermore, the interactive nature of games offers unique opportunities for educating on social issues and inspiring players to take action. The article suggests that Iranian charities and philanthropists equip themselves with gamified thinking to develop innovative activities that lead to increased investment and social participation. Ultimately, this research highlights the significance of video games as an innovative tool in philanthropy and their role in improving the social and economic quality of life in society.
