Regardless of the controversial definitions and indexes of the elite, scientific elites have a significant role in achieving the civilizational goals of the continuous Islamic Revolution. They are seen as the driving force for the comprehensive development of the society. Attention to the humanities elites is one of the current themes in this article. This article has analyzed the statements of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution on the elites through applying the documentary method and thematic technique, complete sampling, and normative and prescriptive strategy-research approach. In addition to a new presentation of the conventional sociological approaches towards the elites, the researcher has also used the theoretical approach of the social system and group dynamics. All in all, the findings have been organized in four sections namely "the nature of the elites", "the requirements and duties of the officials", "the role and responsibilities of the elites", and "the ethical and personality considerations related to the elites”. The results indicate the necessity of strengthening the approach of bilateral social responsibility among the officials and elites. At the end, some practical suggestions have been provided.

The main concern of this study is evaluating the extent of political ethnicity of Talesh ethnic group and it aims at explaining the relationship between the feeling of relative deprivation and the political ethnicity of this ethnic group. Political ethnicity is one of the types of ethnicism according to which an ethnic group in addition to striving to maintain its differences with other ethnic groups seeks to participate in political power on the basis of the ethnic components. Theoretical framework of the study is Robertger's theory which considers the feeling of relative deprivation as the cause of the political violence. In this article, ethnic violence, particularly political ethnocentrism, is considered as one of the manifestations and examples of the political violence. The method adopted in this study is survey and the data collection tool is a questionnaire. The statistical population was all the over fifteen-year-old citizens (inclusively) of Talesh residing cities in Guilan province and through Cochran's formula, 480 people were determined as the sample size. The validity of the research tool was confirmed by means of the face validity method and its reliability was confirmed through Cronbach's alpha. The results of the research, in the descriptive part, show that the respondents have a high level of political ethnocentrism and a moderate sense of relative deprivation in all dimensions. Examination of the hypotheses also shows that all the three variables of relative political, cultural, and socio-economic deprivation are somehow related to the political ethnicity, but the feeling of relative cultural deprivation has the greatest impact on the political ethnicity. Finally, some suggestions for reducing the political ethnicity and the strengthening the national solidarity among the people of Talesh have been proposed.

There have been different views on the extent of the intervention of the governments, and even the government intervention itself, in culture. Different schools, on the basis of their own definitions of culture (from limiting culture to art at one end of the spectrum to considering it as a macro or omnipresent entity at the other end) and those of government (from a minimal view of the government on one side of the spectrum to a maximum one on the other side) have taken special positions on this issue. This study is an attempt to answer the question of ‘what is the extent of the intervention of a religious government in culture?’ In this research, documentary method has been adopted to study the concepts, background of the research, and the theoretical studies. Then, through descriptive-analytical method, the limits of the intervention of the religious government in three levels of supervision, support, and being in charge in the areas of (1) economy of culture, (2) implementation of the cultural affairs, and (3) rights of culture (policy making, legislation, and making regulations on culture have been explained.Under normal circumstances, in the field of the economy of culture, only supervision is approved, while in implementation of cultural affairs, only being in charge is not approved. Of course, in abnormal conditions (lack of the realization of public interests), the findings are different as they have been mentioned in the summary section. In the field of cultural rights, the level of oversight and support is approved and in the level of being in charge in macro-policy-making and legislation, they should be done in terms of social inclination, and in micro-policy-making and regulations, they should be done with the participation of other beneficiaries.

Communication policies are a set of principles and norms formulated to guide the performance of the information and communication systems. Today, any policy-making in media organizations requires that other communication areas be fully considered.The present paper mainly concerns the strategies adopted by the National Media in modern communication media policies and the study aims to identify the most important strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of the National Media in this regard and to formulate the appropriate operational strategies for the policy. In this study, a qualitative-quantitative method based on SWOT Analysis Matrix through purposive interviews with 12 media experts and policy makers of this Media was adopted to examine the related policies. In total, 12 strengths and opportunities have been identified as advantages and 11 weaknesses and threats as constraints. A score of 2.43 of the evaluation matrix of the internal factors and a score of 2.49 of the evaluation matrix of the external factors show that weaknesses of the National Media policy-making on modern media outnumber its strengths, with the future threats which overshadow the opportunities; accordingly, some defensive strategies (WT) for tackling these threats have also been presented.

There is no general consensus among all the experts on one comprehensive definition of the family; however, it is certain that family is the smallest and, at the same time, the strongest social unit. Today, the strength of the family is subject to many changes, including the technological ones. Cyberspace has become the bedrock of mass changes in the family. Few families in the world, especially during the peak of Covid19 pandemic are left out of the interaction with cyberspace. This study is a qualitative research that, through content analysis method, has dealt with the typology of Iranian families’ encounter with the cyberspace during the outbreak of Corona Virus. The major basis of the analysis is the attention paid to the issue of "discourse" in the field of family and that any change in family discourse actually means a change in the structures, functions, and laws of the family. The most important discourses emphasized in this study are the discourse of "Iranian-Islamic family" as the basis discourse and that of "Western family" as the discourse influencing the basis discourse. Also, three discourses of "traditional family", "follow-up user family”, and "active user family" are identifiable. The expansion of justice in order to cover the weaknesses of the traditional family discourse in the development of media literacy and covering the shortcomings of the follow-up user family discourse is expanding the media culture. The discourse of the active user family also requires the supportive-developmental approaches.

Registration of a city in the list of the World Heritage provides an unparalleled opportunity for the development of that city. Parallel with this opportunity, there are also some challenges in the field of land use that, if not thought over properly, can lead to adverse effects and destruction of valuable world heritage. In this regard, the present study tries to futurize the land uses in Yazd through formulating and analyzing the scenarios of land use change and pave the way for their world registration. The research method is analytical based on the scenario technique using the Mick Mac software and wizard scenario. The results show that among the 69 factors identified in eight fields of social, economic, cultural, environmental, spatial / physical, political, accessability, and functional areas, 14 variables can be considered as the most important driving factors of the land use change in the field of world heritage registration of Yazd. Among these factors, the existing capacities of land has the most impact on land use change and after that conservation, rules and regulations, access to services, population, distribution of functions, outreach plans, employment in the service sector, quantitative and qualitative status of tourism services, land value, water resources, security, access to the road network, and participation have had the greatest direct impact. The atmospheres which the impact of these drivers will have on the future of land use in the world heritage area are classified into three scenarios of conservation, development, and decline. The first scenario as the selected one, considering the principles of conservation and suggestions of the superordinate plan and observing the laws and regulations, will improve the other factors and bring a good future for the world heritage registration.
