This article examines the state of home and territory among Kakavandi immigrants from "1991" to "2022". The theoretical approach is based on Durrschmidt's views about home in the global space. The research method is ethnography and collection techniques are observation, interview and lived experience. The findings show that the life problems of the immigrants in the cities of Harsin and Kermanshah along with the policies of the government, which were in line with rural development, caused two sweeps. First, it was the return to the village, which brought changes such as "Bureaucratization of rural daily life", "Defunctionalization of the village house" and "Urbanization of the village". The second was the migration to Tehran and Alborz province. These immigrants settled in areas that did not have suitable urban spaces to fulfill social needs. Being away from the community and being alone in the new destination has reduced the territory of the house to the door of the apartment for them. Finally, the Kakavands took help from mourning rituals and social networks due to their fluidity and spaciousness to realize the social issue. They defined their home in an extended social space. People who lost their connection with Kakavand's presence in the real world gradually faced the erosion of their identity.

This article seeks to examine the process of stigmatization of the Nukan neighborhood within Kermanshah. The theoretical framework is based on Rob Shields' concepts of "social spatialisation”. Shields considers the process of constructing meaning of a space to be a result of the objective procedures of everyday life that construct suppositions about meaning and form space-myths through various ways. The research method is ethnography and the data collection technique includes participatory observation and intensive interviews. The findings of the survey indicate that Nukan has topographically isolated geography and that some social borders have intensified this dissociation. Different procedures have a role in labeling Nukan as such. By announcing the image space to be "rural, " the municipality avoids providing any service to the area. By labeling the area as "violent" as well as a "crime hotspot, " the police force avoids interference in quarrels. The Department of Education declares students of schools within Nukan to be "chaotic" and "abnormal." Also, by not providing the essential substructures, they transfer students of certain grades to other regions, which results in even more labeling when students get into quarrels in those regions. On another hand, taxi drivers, shopkeepers, tenants and women gathering in alleys to talk and pass time propagate and sustain such suppositions. In conclusion, in the process of Nukan's stigmatization, not only coarse language and impressions, but also people's behaviors in everyday life play a decisive role.
