        The development of oil and gas industries in the Pars Special Economic Zone, Assaluyeh city will experience double exposure to industrial developments. The development of the oil and gas industry in these areas has provided the basis for the transition from a traditional society to an industrial and urban society, and in the process of transition, has left extensive changes in the cultural dimension. The main objective of this research is to design a model to evaluate the impact of oil-gas industry development on the dimensions of public culture in Assaluyeh zone. To measure and determine the importance and validity of each indicator, the proposed model was provided to experts. The proposed model with high validity (92/8) was approved by experts. In analyzing the data of this applied research, descriptive and inferential statistical methods have been used. The results showed that the mean of cultural values variable has a significant difference with the hypothetical or expected mean (Sig < 0.05).In other words, according to the statistical community, the development of the oil and gas industry has weakened cultural values. Also, the mean of family culture variable and material elements of culture have a significant difference with the hypothetical or expected mean (Sig < 0.05). As a result, due to the fusion of industry and tradition, a kind of cultural rupture and conflict was observed. The development of the oil and gas industry has caused extensive changes in cultural values, family culture and material elements in the Assaluyeh region. Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: Today, Companies can use different supply chain paradigms to achieve better performance and improve their competitiveness. Lean supply chain is one of these paradigms that focuses on eliminating waste along the chain. On the other hand, the lean approach emphasizes three dimensions of economic, social and environmental along the chain and can lead to sustainability in supply chain. In fact, sustainability refers to a good balance between economic development, social assets and environmental issues. Due to the importance of the oil and gas industry in our country, the implementation of a lean supply chain based on sustainability in active organizations in this area is very important. Method: In order to conduct this study that has been carried out in one of the largest companies operating in the offshore sector, first, by reviewing the literature and opinion poll at the experts, the ten factors that lead to lean supply chain were identified. Then, using an interpretive structural modeling approach, the research framework was developed. Findings: in this framework, "management and leadership" as the most influential and the two factors, "minimization of delivery time" and "flexibility" were determined as the most influential factors. Discussion and Conclusion: Accordingly, the "management and leadership” was the basis of this framework and should be much considered. Finally, some suggestions were made to achieve lean procurement process with sustainable approach in the offshore sector of the oil and gas industry. Manuscript profile

        This study aims to identify the most important factors affecting the improvement of supply chain agility and determine the leveling of interactions between the factors affecting to improvement of supply chain agility and mapping network relations in the oil and gas industry from experts’ point of view. Reviewing the research literature, the opinion of 30 experts regarding the supply chain of South Pars oil and gas companies were asked and determined. Using Fuzzy Delphi technique, 7 indicators out of 14 were identified and selected. Then, a structured matrix questionnaire was used for interpreting structural modeling to obtain the model and prioritize the indicators. The data from the questionnaire was drawn through an interpretive structural modeling and analyzed in 5 levels in an interactive grid. Consequently, information sharing and using the innovation were reanked at the highest level (the fifth level) while supplier participation, and strategic resources were ranked at the fourth level. Communication with customers ranked at the third level and reliability and assurance of delivery found the next rank which is the second level. The flexibility of production was ranked the first and the lowst among the others. Manuscript profile

        Darkhovein oil field local community, along last century. have been encountered to sugarcane industries, nuclear power plant and oil and gas industries as three iconic symbols of the industrial development. The production-oriented policies domination, has had the environmental, social, cultural and political implications and caused accumulation of claims and unheard voices of the inhabitants of this geopolitical region. In the current essay by applying Grounded Theory (GT) approach among the oil industry officials and staff, we made an effort to give an explanation to the present status. The policies adopted by oil industry practitioners have been identified in four paradigm models: distrust, ignorance, interest preferences (short-term, individual, organizational) and conditional interaction and within them the Alienation, as the core phenomena, has been emerged. These policies, along with factors such as the lack of, the socio-cultural-environmental context of projects, the newness and lack of integrated implementation of corporate social responsibility(CSR) as well as the normative pressure of the local and corporate subcultures, have yielded various results and affected on the local community both social and individual dimensions. At social dimension,, consequences have led destruction of the traditional economy, the disruption of Indigenous knowledge, pollution and environmental degradation, increasing ethnic-security tensions.َAt individual dimension phenomena as life time job-seeking, feeling hopelessness- inefficiency- powerlessness -isolation, and dependency with mutual distrust have been emerged.
