With the emphasis on social distancing, the outbreak of Corona caused social interactions within ethnic contexts to undergo changes in terms of quantity and quality. Based on this, the current research is focused on the phenomenology of the lived experience of Borujerd city speakers of social interactions after facing the outbreak of Corona. The current phenomenological research has used the Moustakas technique to analyze the data. The number of 16 samples was selected purposefully and until theoretical saturation, and the data was collected by in-depth interview method. Collaborative observation (10 field observations) was also used to collect more data. Based on the results of coding and field data analysis, the concept of "post-corona ethnic interaction" includes 8 main clusters, which are: 1)the opportunity to find human agency, 2)the socialization of interaction, 3)the continuity of ethnic members, 4 )the digitalization of interaction, 5)the scientific-rationalization of the epistemic base of interaction, 6)the purposeful interaction, 7)the hyper-digitalization of interaction, and 8)the appearance of the role of inhuman agency. In general, the threat of Corona has acted as a shock that has provided the opportunity for the members of the ethnic community of Lak to express their individuality.

This study concerns the situation of sociology education in Iran through a phenomenological approach. The question is: “what is the role of sociology education in the current situation of Iran?” In this research, we tried to categorize different influential reasons on sociology conditions, and after demonstrating the importance of the teaching, we straight to the reality of sociology education without any postulated approach. The methodology is grounded theory which lets us look at this subject from a phenomenological approach. The first step is to refer to the involved actors in the education process to explain the reality as they are experiencing and living it. This plan is completed by interviewing seven professors and 15 students from three universities in Iran. These interviews are taken in open and semi-open techniques, which provided us a level of reality based on the lived experience of the actors, the consciousness of sociology teaching, classes, and the university environment. The sample size was chosen based on theoretical saturation. To analyze data, an open and axial codification was applied, and by specifying the central categories, the authors reached a conceptual ordering and a description of the current situation of sociology education in Iran.

In the current historical period, understanding sexual relationships is not possible, unless they are contemplated upon through the history of the formation of modern society, the alteration of the concept of love, relationship and intimacy. Thus, the present paper seeks to answer the following question: how do Tehran middle class women as modern women understand their sexual relationship with their spouses, and how do they define it? The concepts of Giddens’ pure relationship, Bauman’s liquid love, and Foucault’s sexuality history were used to explain the data. In-depth interviews were conducted with 28 middle class women of Tehran in 2018-2019, and the requirements were the age limit of 45 and having been married for at least five years. The results showed that the women define the sexual relationship with their husbands as female marital duties, dealing with spouses, an opportunity to control their spouses, a way to secure marital life, and mutual intimacy and pleasure. The constrains of meeting this desire were male sexual dysfunctions, the husbands’ lack of knowledge regarding proper sexual relationships, feeling frustrated in the relationship due to early marriages, lack of verbal communication, and the husbands’ extramarital relationships. Women’s compensation mechanisms include financial compensation, and extra-marital relations.

The present study aims to identify the experience of Imam Reza's pilgrimage through a phenomenological study. Accordingly, the interview method and participatory observation have been used. A qualitative sampling has been used for Purposive Sampling Strategy. 28 interviews with participants were conducted, in which a relative balance was established in terms of gender and between the native and non-native pilgrims. For the conceptual framework of the study, William James's theory was used to define religious experience and a combination of indigenous theories and models of religious measurement were used to define the basic concept of pilgrimage experience based on three dimensions of thoughts (Beliefs), actions (Behavior), and emotions. Findings of the research revealed a variety of religious experiences in all three dimensions of religious experience. At the same time, there is a difference between the religious experiences of the native and non-native pilgrims in indicators such as belief in holy objects, patterns of time spending in the shrine. But in other elements and components of the pilgrimage experience, the variations between each of the two groups of native and non-native pilgrims were the same.

The study of the prevalence of divorce and the increase of single parent families, aside from structural and objective study, requires the study of the mentality of the agents with a focus on gender. Due to having children to care about, women as head of families experience special circumstances both regarding separation and also facing its consequences. Up until now the assumption has been that children play an important role in maintaining married relationships, but the current picture regarding the situation of the separation of women and men and the formation of single-headed families depicts a different notion. The current study has been conducted in search of the meaning of separation and its contextual-mental changes from the viewpoint of mothers with a focus on maternal identity. The phenomenological study has been done qualitatively, and the data collection method has been semi-structured interviews with twenty mothers who have experienced separation. Data analysis has been done using the Colaizzi method, and the results are that separation takes place following women’s change of mentality regarding family life, the increase of importance regarding human/feminine identity, and care regarding the children’s well-being. Unpleasant marriages unable to provide for the women’s needs propels them to break free from a chronic and painful situation. The core of women’s personalities being constantly threatened, and their trust and self-esteem being destroyed leads them in search of a way to exit this situation. In this path, children are still an important factor in the women’s lives, however, not as a maintaining factor, but as a factor of restoration of identity. The children’s well-being is a strong incentive to omit the father from family life and to form female-headed families.

This paper aims to study Heidegger's hermeneutic thoughts in town planning by means of phylosophcal and cognitive arguments. Hermeneutics in lexicon means interpreting sacred book and approaches this understanding from a phenomenological perspective. Hermenutics is the science or theory of interpretation. It derives from the Greek word "hermenevein" which means interpreting, translating, clarifying and describing. In Greek mythology, Hermes interprets the often mysterious messages of God for the mortal publics. There is no wonder that hermeneutics as a method originates from interpreting sacred text and has close affinity with religious terminology. Reformist movement controversies over preceded by Protestants emphasis that the sacred book was innately clear and sufficient for understanding. This controversy led to the formation of hermeneutics. The gradual formulation of this arguments as a methodology for interpreting text transformed into a more philosophical theory in the late 19th century focusing on the crucial importance of hemeneutics.
