        The limit of Tehran encompasses approximately 23 cities, 237 inhabited villages, and numerous activity centers, housing around 2 million people. The area's spatial expansion, both formal and informal, is ongoing and anticipated to continue over the next two decades. While the northern part of limit faces encroachment issues, the southern section serves as a hub for the marginalized and socioeconomically disadvantaged, seemingly compelled by urban and regional development programs that limit their citizenship. These marginalized groups often overlook significant social, cultural, and economic aspects of their collective and individual lives, despite their potential for development and participation. Failure to incorporate these groups could render development and management plans for limit ineffective and confined to mere documentation. Hence, it is essential to involve the area's inhabitants in the planning process, as they could otherwise become victims of exploitative land acquisition schemes. The article's primary aim is to provide insight into the social realities of limit and the necessity of a community-oriented approach for managing social vulnerabilities and achieving sustainable development in there. The region's complexity, housing a diverse population, underscores the importance of recognizing the needs, goals, of this community-focused strategy. To address the issues and challenges faced by limit's residents, any development and management plan must actively engage all stakeholders, both current and future, and strive for inclusivity while combatting unlawful practices. In essence, the article advocates for an approach that acknowledges the community, ultimately leading to a more holistic and effective strategy for the region's advancement and well-being.  Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: In order to achieve national services, the strategy of industrialization undoubtedly plays an important role in protecting the special and natural resources of its particular environment. It has been described to this extent and can be customized.Material and Methodology: The purpose of this research is applied based on purpose and descriptive-analytical in nature and method. The statistical population of the study is the citizens of Tehran. Questionnaire, observation and interview were used for data collection. SPSS software and one-group T-test were used for data analysis.Findings: The results show that there is a significant relationship between the development of industry in Tehran and environmental pollution (increased electronic and non-electronic waste, air pollution, etc.) and informal housing, but with social inequality (social class conflict, opportunity inequality, gender equality) has no significant relationship.Discussion and Conclusion: As the industry evolves, environmental and social consequences also emerge over time. As soon as developing countries adopt western technology, social structures change and the region's environment is affected by this development. Consideration of environmental and social impacts is widely needed in developing countries because of the underdeveloped economy and lack of appropriate scientific and technological infrastructure; development plans in these countries have a significant negative impact on biodiversity and the environment.

        Background and purpose: Many researches have been conducted in the field of social impact assessment of rural projects, but few researches can be found that examine the social impact assessment from the perspective of the stakeholders. This is despite the fact that the evaluation of social effects with the participation of stakeholders can lead to the formulation of more serious programs, better evaluation and management of conflicts in this field. Therefore, the present study investigates the social effects of the dam as perceived by the stakeholders in order to gain a deep insight using the qualitative method. Methods: The current research has used the qualitative paradigm and the descriptive-interpretive research method to achieve the research goal.

The interviews were analyzed using the communicative content analysis method. Reliability was established through the control of people's opinions by other interview participants and the researcher's self-review during the data analysis process. Reassurance (validity) was also done by presenting all documents, notes and recorded interviews to the research team after analysis by the researcher. Results: The results of the interviews showed that the participants in the research evaluated the effects of the dam on the quality of life by expressing 38 positive concepts and improving the sense of place by expressing 5 positive concepts and believe that the implementation of this project will lead to a decrease in social capital by expressing 23 The concept of impact and damage to natural and environmental resources has been defined by expressing 10 concepts of impact. Discussion and conclusion: The results of the research show the impact of the implementation of development projects on all social, economic and environmental aspects of the residents of the region.

        The offence of money laundering due to its nature which is organized and supranational is having damaging economic and, political and social effect on society. Money laundering leads to organized penetration of criminals into banking and monetary network and they bring the economic potential of governments under their own control and direction. With gradual decline of government economic power which is due to non-performance of productive works and tax evasion, the security and economic and political authority of the government and national sovereignty is jeopardized. This destabilizing function generally takes place in developing countries. The main question raised by present article is that, what are the negative impacts of money laundering on society? Money laundering is having damaging economic, political and social impacts. Money laundering is damaging for economy and commerce. The negative impacts of money laundering includes weakening private sector, destruction of financial markets, reduction of government revenue, weakening of economic security, risking credits, hampering healthy competition. Money laundering damages social and economic order because this phenomenon has enormous negative consequences for free competition, stability and health of financial system. Manuscript profile

        Social, environmental, and economic assessments are three requirements necessary for attaining sustainable development; and the evaluation of the social impact has a 40-year history in the world. Since the year 1386 (2007), following the ratified bills of Islamic Council, the necessity of applying this approach to urban development projects was put on the agenda of Tehran Municipality and relatively wide measures in this regard were taken among which is the training and licensing for 500 experts to socially evaluate the development projects in Tehran. And a brief look at the matter shows a small presence or general ignorance of Iranian geography society regarding this created practical and scientific capacity. All of this is in the circumstances where the nature of urban projects has spatial dimensions, and in principle, these assessment without analysis of the space will not be very effective. Geographers (especially human geography - the major of urban planning) with understanding the analytic levels of urban problems and structural recognition of the phenomenon of city and urbanization and urban development process, can play the greatest role in this field.  The purpose of this article is providing a methodological framework of evaluating social impact as the preparatory groundwork for familiarizing the geography graduates in order to enter this arena. To achieve this goal, evaluating social impact of organizing the cemeteries in Tehran's urban area, especially the blocks of martyrs in Behesht-e Zahra, are selected, and the results can be used for other studies.  Manuscript profile
