Today, all societies are involved in violence, but what is concerning is its extent and prevalence. Accordingly, the present study aims to analyze the causal, contextual and intervening conditions, strategy action and consequences of the urban violence phenomenon, to explain the causes of urban violence and the lived experience of citizens in Tehran. The present study was conducted qualitatively using the underlying theoretical method in terms of research approach. In this research, after examining each sentence, we obtained 70 open codes, based on which, finally, 35 axial codes were obtained, from which 23 important categories were made. Can be said that the existence of violence in the urban environment leads to distrust and insecurity of citizens, and this can turn people in the community into gloomy, dissatisfied, sad people who are devoid of love and intimacy in the long run. They will make passive people who will not have a role in social life and the formation of a creative and prosperous society as active and creative actors, and will only be spectators. Also, social indifference will be formed in these people, which will lead to factors such as social incoherence, lack of interactions, disorder, irresponsibility, etc. Based on the components of our research, these will be the underlying factors in the occurrence of violence and will form a cycle that results in increased and pervasive violence.
