Despite its widespread use as an equivalent for immigrant populations, the term diaspora remains semantically and theoretically ambiguous. This study hypothesizes that the term diaspora fails to represent Iranian immigration and its divergent heterogeneities. Discussing theoretical approaches to diaspora, the characteristics of Iranian immigration, and the findings of interviews with forty young Iranian immigrants living in France, the present study attempts to offer a more suitable alternative to the term diaspora. It will be revealed that the heterogeneity of Iranian immigration in causes, conception of immigration experience, as well as disinclination to create a unified community in host countries, leads Iranians living outside their country to form small and scattered clusters and live on isolated islands. The term proposed to be used in lieu of diaspora is “archipelago ethnicity”, which shows both the heterogeneity and divergence in Iranian immigration in general and represents the only connection between the scattered and isolated islands, i.e., being Iranian.

Studying of suburbanation problems and difficulties is the endpoint of this research. Suburbanite is a person living in the suburb of a city but is not absorbed by the social and economic system of that socity. The suburbanites have migrated to earn a better life; but because of their poverty, lack of proficiency and education, they could not have been absorbed by the cities economic sections. So, they have to live in the suburbs. They are poor people who deal with complications, like shortage of sufficient health care, moral deviations, and unemployment. This survey tries to pay attention to different economic, social and political aspects of the subject and to deal with it in a new concept. This research was done in survey method.
