Environmental issues due to human beings' beneficial behaviors towards nature on the one hand and the need for programs to adapt to climate change on the other hand and the inability to fully implement programs by the executive bodies, require participation of all stakeholders including environmental groupsThe purpose of this article is a
sociological analysis of the effect of cultural capital of members of the ENGOs on environmental participation. The research utilized survey method and a questionnaire was used an in instrument to collect required data. The statistical population of the study consisted of all members of environmental groups in Tehran. The sample size of 376 people who were selected using relative random sampling method. SPSS software was used to analyze the data. The results of the present study showed that cultural capital and participation of most respondents is in the "average and higher" and with the increase of cultural capital and each of its dimensions separately, participation increased and members with cultural capital were able to apply creative mechanisms in the following cases: motivating people and investors to participate, implement symbolic programs, transferring knowledge and environmental education, facilitating, demanding, empowering, increasing interaction with the community, influencing the government and local communities, etc. Thus, it can be concluded that environmental factors can play some roles in creating a sustainable environment among local people and be good promoters for building environmental quality at the community level.

Today's house is very different from a traditional or a pre-industrial house. Numerous factors have been involved in home changes, but none of them has affected the home and domestic space as much as the entrance of technologies. The purpose of this study is to investigate the process of linking and companionship of Iranian homes and media outlets and their mutual effects. In this article, regardless of the content of the media, which is often considered, focusing on the material culture of media outlets, especially television, Pays attention to the process of domestication of media technologies and the mediatization of the home in Iran. The findings show that the media outlets faced internal and external resistance when entering Iranian homes and in the process of domestication. The common denominator of these resistances, despite their different origins, is being ideological. The findings also show that a process of the mediatization of the homes in Iran is recognizable, which began with the arrival of radio and, consequently, electricity in Iranian homes. A process that is gradually moving towards increasing home smarting. By moving in this direction, the house itself becomes a medium. A medium that is moving towards a "connected home" by connecting with other homes, neighborhoods and smart cities.

This research is carried out with the main purpose of discovering and divulging the hidden and obvious themes of social malingering in the actions of the characters of the movie A Hero, by Asghar Farhadi. these basic questions of this research is: Why in a society people who perform the most obvious moral and civic duties are glorified as a hero?, and what is the relationship between the phenomena of the social malingering and the constructing a hero in everyday life?
This research was conducted using a qualitative method and content analysis technique. The method used to analyze the qualitative content of the film is inspired by the techniques of narratology with Thematic Coding.
According to the findings of this research, Showing and the constructing a hero is a salve for the public conscience in a lifeworld where social malingering is the inevitable strategy of people for the survival of their honor and social acceptability. Phenomena such as the social malingering and the constructing a hero in everyday life, in the mutual relationship and dialectic of attempt and failure, the inefficiency of social and political institutions, individuality cult, ideological moralism, ontological insecurity and the reduction of social capital, produce and reproduce each other. And maybe the social malingering and the constructing a hero as strategies for survival, especially the survival of honor and social acceptability in interactions and everyday life, are the last type of social action and initiative to protect oneself and society.

This study employed grounded theory (GT) to qualitatively explore the preconditions for good governance in social media with an emphasis on accountability. The study sample consisted of 20 media activists and social media managers who were selected using a theoretical or purposive sampling strategy. The data were collected through in-depth interviews with participants. The data collection process continued until data saturation, i.e. no new pieces of information could add to the final model. The data were analyzed using open, axial, and selective coding, and then a paradigm model and a theoretical schema were developed based on the 15 main themes and the final theme extracted. The results indicated that the “tamed power of sovereignty” is the fruit of a set of factors such as accountability soft punch, reverse control and monitoring, popular network activism, and networked pressure groups, influenced by a set of contextual and intervening factors. What can cause public trust and social solidarity as the ultimate goal is the adoption of strategies such as normalization of accountability, good pragmatism, the networked activity of governing bodies, and institutional accountability of the government and then moving towards the establishment of an online accountability system. The theoretical schema and paradigm model proposed in this study can interpret the results more accurately.

The technological revolution is the result of the third wave of revolutions. This revolution left changes in tourism industry.The advancement of technology has created new opportunities for virtual tourist. Therefore, the virtual tourist experience and tourists' behavior has become an important topic for tourism studies. The purpose of this research is to identify and explain theoretical approaches in the field of virtual tourists' behavior. Based on this, using a scoping review, 27 articles were extracted from the Scopus database. Quantitative findings show that the leading countries in the field of virtual tourism research are China and the United States the Max QDA software was used. Quantitative findings show that China and America are the proposed countries in the field of virtual tourism research. The most important theoretical approaches to tourist behavior are the technology acceptance model, stimulus-organism-response theory, planned behavior, flow theory, and attention recovery. In this research, it has been tried to use the scoping method to discover the nature of the issues, research gaps and summary of the main approaches. Researchers generally use systematic rather than scoping methods for such purposes. One of the goals of this research is to introduce this new systematic method for research literature review. Finally, each of the theories can be a research topic for future research; therefore, this article will be a good resource for researchers.

The main issue of the present study is how the power field is represented in this series. In order to answer the problem, Pierre Bourdieu's theory were used as a theoritical approach. Methodologically, Bourdieu's Genetic Structuralism methodology was used and this text was analysed using methods of documentary analysis and and technique of thematic analysis in three levels of habitus, structure and the relationship between the power field and other fields. The results indicate that the power field is structurally heterogeneous field and a place of competition between agents with religious-traditional habitus and agents of economic habitus. In terms of intra-field relationship, the power field is directly and indirectly related to all social fields, and it has affected other fields’ structure such as the justice, economic, law and politics fields. The influence of utilitarian agents of the power field on law, politics, justice and economy has reduced the relative independence of these fields on the one hand, and has led to the spread of corruption in these fields on the other hand. Of course, the greater relative independence of the justice field has made it possible for justice-oriented social agents in the power field to monitor and investigate the activities of social agents in other fields, and to be able to control illegal activities of other social agents carefully, and eradicate the corrupt power network that has formed in society. This means that one must hope for the future.

Metaverse, as an embodied space with an industrial nature, is the result of the convergence of industry and imagination, and it allows users to have a three-dimensional and immersive presence. Games are the pioneers of the metaverse and by combining simulation technologies and Intimate technologies, they form virtual worlds. Zepeto is the largest Metaverse platform in South Korea and Asia with users from all over the world. With the increasing popularity of Korean wave products such as K-pop, K-drama and K-pop dance among Iranian teenagers, Zepeto has become a popular and attractive game among them. In this exploratory article, two issues have been addressed. First, in the framework of the technology acceptance model, the focus is on the user experience in Zepto and the study of the determining factors that affect the willingness of Iranian users to play and work in Zepto. Second, based on the content format that Zepto has, what harm can it bring to the Iranian user. The target population in this research was all Iranian users of Zepeto, and using the Simple Random Sampling method, a semi-structured interview was conducted with 40 Zepeto users. The findings of this research show that Zepeto is a popularizer of the western lifestyle in the field of entertainment and based on having the capacity to shape the taste and attitude and behavior of Iranian users, it provides a window for cultivating a non-Islamic lifestyle.

Structures hinder the effectiveness of research in Iran, but this is not the end of the story. Researchers struggle with structural and contextual limitations. They take a variety of research cultures. The author has referred to the shared experience of 32 faculty members with various disciplines. The participants have been researching in policy study institutes for years. In this way, the author has tried to achieve a relatively deeper understanding of the subject and explain it systematically as a grounded theory. More than 600 key propositions that have been provided through exploratory interviews have been analyzed with the "CCDA" model, and with the help of the researcher's technical notes, have led to a model to explain the matter. Based on this model, we are facing a double border situation in the field of these studies.12 categories of causal conditions, 11 groups of contextual conditions and 12 types of strategies that researchers undertake in such situations with variations of research cultures have been explicated. The outcomes resulting from this process have been identified and categorized. According to the results of this research, the knowledge absorption and productivity is problematic in Iran. We have a serious problem and instead of effective knowledge, we are faced with states of wandering knowledge, suspended knowledge, prestige knowledge and artificial knowledge. But the arena is not empty of all kinds of innovative initiatives in the diverse research cultures of Iranian researchers.
