Long experience in implementation of developmental measures based on an economic approach and without considering the environmental, cultural and social impacts of these practices has not been desirable. However, it has been found that developmental measures do not meet their goals unless specific social conditions have been provided. As the social impact assessment of developmental measures in our country has been brought into focus in different fields, it is important that appropriate models and processes should be designed. The main purpose of this article is to develop a model and guideline for social impact assessment in oil and gas projects in Iran. The method used in this paper is documentary and comparative. We, first, reviewed the general principles of social impact assessment. Then, the social issues resulted from oil industry projects in oil fields have been identified and, considering the country’s condition and the oil facilities host regions, a suitable model has been offered. Considering the range of issues that oil industry can face, there is a good opportunity for the development of social impact assessment in oil industry projects. Expanding a suitable model for this purpose can promote the efficiency of this field of study, leads to industrial development management and support its function in other different developmental actions.

After discussing health message related literature, related communication theories are mentioned and finally the theoretical framework of research is defined as “The Extended Parallel Process Model”.

To measure Tehran’s above15-years old inhabitants’ attitudes toward health messages and TV health related programs, the survey method of research has been chosen and after designing questionnaire, and   distributing among inhabitants of Tehran. The most important result of this research is that TV health messages are not adequate to make behavior changes in personals, and interpersonal communication has a complementary and powerful role in adopting recommended TV health messages.

Studies have shown that most of the existing problems in the water sector are the outcomes of unsustainable methods of development caused by unawareness and lack of public training. Researchers have found that the social systems and mechanisms affecting water cycle are beyond the scope of water management and that the issue of water crisis must be addressed in the frame of social entities and systems, which are known as the water governance. The objective of this study is to identify the criteria and indicators of sustainable governance and to prepare an appropriate training program towards its realization. The tool for evaluation was a questionnaire and the research methodology was of descriptive survey. The validity of the indicators was established by taking into account the views and comments of relevant scholars and experts, and the reliability of the indicators was calculated as 0.869 using the Cronbach’s alpha formula. All criteria and indicators were graded in the fuzzy environment using the relevant software. The results show the criterion of public participation to be more sustainable than other governance criteria, while the indicators of training scored higher than others. Since the realization of sustainable governance becomes facilitated by increasing public awareness about the importance of environmental issues, the research proposes an appropriate training model to increase public participation.

The concept of participation and its application in various sciences particularly urban planning has been considered by thinkers and experts since several decades ago. The experience has proved that the participation to conduct urban affairs causes improving the efficiency, assigning the cost toward social priorities and fundamental projects. Nowadays, necessity of citizenship participation to enhance the physical and social condition of the cities is not inapparent over anyone. the main purpose of this article is to explain the direct/indirect relationships among the most key of urban participation barriers in Iran. To this end, it is used the interpretive structural modeling (ISM) and Matrice d’Impacts Croise´s Multiplication Applique´e a´ un Classement (MICMAC) analysis under fuzzy environment. The ISM method is interpretive as the judgment of a group decides whether and how the factors are related. It is structural as an overall structure is extracted from the complex set of factors on the basis of relationship amongst the elements of the system. The article research method is descriptive and analytical so that its part of descriptive included the literature review of urban participation barriers and problems in Iran, and its part of analytical encompassed the explanation of relationships among the barriers.

The purpose of this study was to design a model for assessing the social responsibility of the academic system.The research method was mixed exploration method. In qualitative part, 10 academic experts were selected for confirmation of qualitative research findings and in quantitative part, 259 faculty members were selected by stratified random sampling. In the first step, by reviewing the literature and documents, the components of the model were identified, and in the second step, the data were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire. The construct and convergence validity of questionnaire were evaluated by confirmatory factor analysis and its reliability with Cronbachchr('39')s alpha and composite reliability. Qualitative content analysis technique was used to analyze the data in qualitative section and confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling was used in quantitative section. Findings led to the identification of 50 indicators and 7 components about the phenomenon of social responsibility in the Academic system and 37 indicators and 5 factors about its driving factors in the form of a well-fitting model. The evaluation showed that there is a large gap between the current situation and the desired situation, which requires serious efforts by the authorities concerned to achieve the desired situation.
