Some strategies have been proposed in the last few decades, amongst which are the cultural strategies that have been the focus of attention in the past ten years. However these cultural policies have not been successful enough in this domain. Using a qualitative methodology and taking a descriptive-analytic approach, this article seeks to do a pathological survey of cultural policies for preventing drug addiction in Iran based on the four step continuum of ‘cultural theory and approach, cultural policymaking, cultural planning and cultural management’.Drug addiction, as a multi-dimensional phenomenon with multi-dimensional effects, is a problem which, according to nearly all of the researchers and thinkers in this area and due to contiguity with main production centers, being situated in the best and shortest transit path, special social, economical and political circumstances and finally some other cultural factors is continuously growing and hence its negative effects are increasing in various domains in the country.

This study has been concluded with dispersion of 475 application forms, field and district observation, and oral interview 12-16 year old people from certain districts (Elahieh, Narmak, Hashemi, and Yaftabad). It is necessary to be mentioned that all these districts were chosen in an analytical and systematic way. In this essay the effective factors between social security, and “place attachment for the certain chosen and tested districts” were basically researched and discovered in those four districts separately.

In order to evaluate between to variables; the Pierson associative parameter has been utilized to evaluate the effect of the independent variable components (social security) on the dependent variable (Place attachment) which Stepwise multiple regression analysis was used. Pierson correlation coefficient for the correlation between social security and place attachment index is equal to 0.276, which shows the average correlation between the two variables. Results of regression analysis showed that the three components of social security (social disorder, social monitoring and freedom of movement) that have remained in the regression equation have a moderate correlation with place attachment.;
