This issue has raised the need to study the social attachment for it. The purpose of this study was to evaluate and predict the consequences of the construction of a bicycle path in Mirdamad Boulevard in order to increase its positive effects and reduce its negative effects. According to the nature of the project and the scope of the study, quantitative and qualitative methods, specifically the method of survey, interview and analysis of experts' opinions, have been used to collect information. The sample size for the purposeful survey was 200 and the number of interviews was about 50. The evaluation of the project's consequences has been carried out in the form of three scenarios of continuation of the status quo, adjustment of the status quo and change of the status quo. The results of the research indicate that the most issues and problems of the studied area that have overshadowed the effects of the project were prioritized in the physical-activity, transportation and traffic, and social and cultural fields, respectively. The implementation of the project in the form of the continuation of the status quo scenario will bring the continuation of the challenges of the current situation. Also, the investigations showed that the implementation of the project in the form of the scenario of adjusting the existing situation also has adverse effects such as the continuation of the presence of motorcycles on the bicycle path, the increase in accidents and life risks, the deprivation of the comfort and peace of the residents, the reduction of the economic prosperity of the business, the continuation of the presence of sleeping cars. And renting a parking space brings pessimism and lack of trust in the city management, the formation of dissatisfactions, etc. For this purpose, another scenario was proposed and in that form, the proposed plan of the research group was presented by adopting the approach of "changing the existing situation" and emphasizing the gradual and long-term approach.  http://siamag.ihss.ac.ir/Article/40966bicycle path assessment of social and cultural impacts Mirdamad Blvd. Tehran.per1ارزیابی تأثیرات اجتماعی2717-24062821-16342024-10264373articleSociocultural Impact assessment of the redesign of Karaj city squares, a case study of Esteghlal Square (Esbi)salahedin ghaderisalahedin.gh@khu.ac.ir1noraldin farashn_farrash@yahoo.com2samane Alibakhshiansamaneh.bakhshian8835@gmail.coml3Associate Professor, Department of Sociology, Kharazmi UniversityPhD student in demographyMaster's student in Sociology, Kharazmi University This research is a type of social and cultural impact assessment research, which was conducted with the aim of identifying the effects of Shahr Karaj's Esteghlal Square redesign project, identifying the beneficiaries, the social background of the project, possible reactions to the project, scenarios ahead of the project, etc. Conceptual and theoretical issues supporting the study of OTAF are theoretical topics in the field of OTAF and urban public spaces and their design requirements. The project implementation method is of a mixed type (quantitative and qualitative) with an emphasis on field studies based on survey, individual and group interviews, document review and comparative studies. The method of analyzing the findings is based on analytical and descriptive methods, content analysis, scenario writing and stakeholder analysis. The findings of the research show that the local residents largely agree with the implementation of the plan. Among the stakeholders with high power and high influence (traffic police, traffic deputy, Sima and Manzar organization and also local builders), there is a lot of opposition to the implementation of the proposed plan of the urban development deputy, and they consider the plan to cause more traffic and congestion. Based on the 4 scenarios ahead of the plan, the adjustment scenario is approved by the study of Ataf and suggestions have been made in line with this scenario.  http://siamag.ihss.ac.ir/Article/40138Social Impact assessment Esteghlal Square of Karaj cultural impacts assessment environmental impacts assessment economic impacts assessment. per1ارزیابی تأثیرات اجتماعی2717-24062821-16342024-10267597articleSocial and Cultural Assessment of the revitalization and development of the lands of Abozar center in the 17th district of TehranEsmaeil Jahani Dolatabadsml_jahani@yahoo.com1Associate Professor in Sociology, University of Mohaghegh Ardabili, Ardabil, Iran. The present study has been implemented with the aim of evaluating the effects of the revitalization of the Abzar center in the 17th district of Tehran. My theoretical model is based on spatial justice and sustainable development, and various quantitative and qualitative methods have been used to evaluate the consequences of the action. The consequences have been evaluated in the form of three scenarios of continuation, change, and adjustment of the status quo, and each scenario have been examined in four areas: traffic, social, environmental, and institutional. According to the results, in the current situation, the area under investigation is struggling with much traffic, social and institutional issues, and if the first scenario is realized, we will witness the complete dominance of the negative effects in all four mentioned areas. The realization of the second scenario, along with significant positive effects, due to the reliance on a confrontational approach with the beneficiary organizations, will increase the negative consequences and costs. In case of changing the mentioned approach and adopting an interactive position and based on participatory management, a significant part of the mentioned negative consequences will be excluded and a large part of the positive consequences of the previous scenario will remain in force. Based on this, the ATAF team has proposed the third scenario as the best scenario and in order to realize this scenario, it has presented the proposed application in the form of three categories of execution frequency system, efficient communication system and intelligent monitoring system.  http://siamag.ihss.ac.ir/Article/40449Abuzar center lands Sports Cultural Complex Social Impact Assessment. per1ارزیابی تأثیرات اجتماعی2717-24062821-16342024-1026101113articleReflections on Social Impact Assessment in the 21st Century (Translate)Frank Vanclay FrankVanclay@yahoo.com1Fatemeh Tanhaaf.tanhaa@ut.ac.ir2Faculty of Spatial SciencesAssistant Professor. Faculty of Social Science. University of TehranSocial impact assessment (SIA) is a field of research and practice that deals with everything related to the management of social issues throughout the life cycle of a project (before its initiation to its completion). ETA has evolved from a monitoring tool to a project social issue management process used by developers, financiers, affected communities and environmental licensing agencies. Eta considers the following: interest sharing, boom and bust cycles, community development, community participation, community resilience, cultural heritage, due diligence, empowerment, gender issues, grievance mechanisms, human rights, impact and benefits agreements, Indigenous people, migration, livelihood restoration, local content, local procurement, project-induced displacement and resettlement, psychosocial impacts, social performance, social impact management plans, social inclusion, social investment, social license to operate, social performance, stakeholder participation Beneficiaries, vulnerable groups and traditional issues such as identifying social effects and designing interventions to reduce harm. ETA has been implemented in various countries for more than 50 years, yet complex issues such as involuntary resettlement, livelihood restoration, belonging to place, sense of place, preservation of intangible cultural heritage and finding alternative land remain among the remaining issues in the plans. It's a waste. Corruption, rent-seeking, capture of elites, hoarding and opportunistic behavior are among the problematic cases in the implementation of ETA.http://siamag.ihss.ac.ir/Article/48280social impact assessment social license for activity and growth public participation international environmental standards social and governance issues corporate social responsibility.per1ارزیابی تأثیرات اجتماعی2717-24062821-16342024-1026115140articleSummary of the book: Social Impact Assessment And Monitoring A Guide To The Literaturedeceased pourya hadiyanpourya.hadiyan@gmail.com1The book "A Guide to the Literature of Social Impact Assessment and Monitoring" was written by Michael J.

The content of this book has been designed and organized in such a way that it has direct practical use for students, university lecturers, organizers of short-term courses, and perhaps most importantly for government employees, consultants and other practitioners and agents in the field of social impact assessment. .This work is based on the premise that ETA is more than just a kind of analytical technique, it is a logical and timely response to the constant and ever-increasing need for complete, open information and participation in the decision-making process. The authors of this work believe that Eta, as an answer to the decision-making problem, is derived from a wide range of disciplines And for this reason, they have tried to look at the affairs, issues and methods related to ETA from an interdisciplinary point of view. Throughout the book, it is emphasized that the progress of social impact assessment as a field related to political and methodological issues depends on the capacity of this field to combine and use practically the resources of a wide range of disciplines.http://siamag.ihss.ac.ir/Article/48281Social impact assessment analysis technique decision making and interdisciplinary studies.per1ارزیابی تأثیرات اجتماعی2717-24062821-16342024-1026115140articleInstitutional belief in education, people's participation and the role of women in the development of social impact assessment in villages (interview with "Dr. Ali Nouzarpour")Zahra KhastooZahra_khasto@yahoo.com1Ph.D in Cultural Sociology, Mazandaran UniversityIf one of the ways to achieve sustainable development is rural development, preservation of natural, local and human resources and capital, social impact assessment can be an important step in facilitating this. Evaluation of social impacts as one of the elements of knowing the social, cultural, environmental, economic and local conditions can facilitate the development in the villages with the participation of the residents of the villages and lead to the institutional empowerment of the villagers and villages. In this issue, to investigate the role and obstacles of social impact assessment in the development and empowerment of rural people, we went to Dr. Nozarpour to use his opinions and experiences. Dr. Nozarpour has a bachelor's degree in sociology and a master's degree and a doctorate in urban planning. He started his career in the Ministry of Interior in 1370 in the field of urban and rural development and worked in the same field until his retirement. At one point, he was the general manager of the planning and construction office and was responsible for all municipal affairs in the country in the fields of planning, policy making, studies, research and education, distribution of resources and technical support. At one point, he was responsible for the establishment of rural cooperatives in the country, and from 1382 to 1384, he was the deputy for the establishment of rural cooperatives in the municipal organization. Before his retirement, he worked as the mayor of Tehran's 22nd district in the municipality for three years. Dr. Nuzarpour considers the political structure and the managers' vision of education in the rural sector to be one of the obstacles to the implementation of the social and cultural impact assessment in the rural sector, and he believes that one of the problems of the rural sector is the lack of sufficient information about social capital. It is local, environmental, and human, and social and cultural attachments can, with the support of managers, lead to more knowledge of the villages and attract the participation of the villagers in the matter of development. In the following, you will read an interview with him. نماد «مورد تأیید انجمن»http://siamag.ihss.ac.ir/Article/48283Institutional belief in education people's participation and the role of women in the development of social impact assessment in villages
