This paper is an examination of social Anomie in virtual communities in the internet network. The Expansion of internet networks and the acceleration of virtual communities has led to important questions whether the internet network can be considered as an anomic space and whether we can speak of an invisible social order which is based on social norms embodied in a virtual reality form?

In today’, s world, which is rife with civil wars, terrorist activities, and different forms of violence, peace has become a complex concept, affected by various social, economic, cultural, political and psychological factors. One of the states of the society, which may pave the way for conflict or other forms of violence is Anomie. Anomie, as a societal state, in which there is a threat of violence, war or terrorist activities, provides a rich area of study to develop deeper insights into conflictive contexts. After developing a theoretical framework and using formerly developed measurements and sequence results, we conduct two studies to further investigate the relation between Anomie and peace/conflict. Results indicate that internal peace is associated with the breakdown in leadership and social fabric (Study 1A). Therefore, dysregulated and disintegrated societies as the result of breakdown in leadership and social fabric respectively, pave the way for direct and indirect violence. In addition, our results illustrate that Anomie has an important role in predicting the contexts where conflict exists (Study 1B). Findings indicate that Anomie data can be useful to forecast the contexts in which there is a potential conflict. They also highlight the importance of Anomie in peacefulness or conflictiveness of societies.

When scholars and political activists express their concern about the dangers of social breakdown in the Iranian public sphere, at least three different meanings of the term "collapse" can be recognized as a possible "referent".Such multiplicity of usage obscures the understanding such vital issue. This paper initially sets out to identify the major meanings of "breakdown"; three meanings of breakdown as social, as rupture in national unity, and as political are recognized to be more frequently cited in the public sphere of Iran. Then, using the theoretical framework of political sociology, with a special emphasis on the state, we conclude that the concept of social Anomie is more accurate than social collapse. The study utilizes empirical evidence and fieldwork data to support its claims.

The subject of this research is the analysis of the inter-relations between environmental structure and social Anomie. The case of study was Azadi square and its surroundings in the city of Tehran. Keeping an eye on two important factors: the socio-economic structure of the society, and the fact that Tehran is a metropolitan city, as the most important factors of the formation of social harms, the remain objective is to analyse the effects a new factor, that is, the manmade environment on, the emergence and progress of social harms in a specific urban area. Thus having established the hypotheses and the questionnaire of the research, different types of social harms and Anomie existing in Azadi square were recognized, tried to analyze the relations between these behaviors and the structure of the environment, where these behaviors occur. Crowded urban places, big squares and roundabouts, bus terminals, residential quarters, with people who make more geographical moves, suburban regions and so on, are ideal places for various types of social harms and crimes to occur, because it is in such places that safety, stability and ethics are attacked. In Azadi square, which is an example of such places, the existence of various crimes have deterred its natural settings of becoming a cultural and symbolic place, which it could and should have been, and have also ruined it's credit. The consequences have become efficient elements in developing and supporting social Anomie. The most important Anomie evident at Azadi square and its surroundings are caused by the enduring presence of unstable crowd who, as the most basic role in the square, that is, the traffic role, commute. The commuting of about 500000 unstable crowd through the settings of the square round the clock without establishing any effective and useful relations have made a good opportunity for hiding and occurring of Anomie behaviors. The adjacency of the bus terminal and Al-Mahdi park to the Azadi square have an undeniable effect on the progress of social harms and occurrence of social Anomie in this square. The vastness of the square and the existence of dull and dark corners in some parts of the square, along with all other positive facilities and capabilities that there are in the square, have made it a safe place for crime. Drug business, addiction, prostitution, mendicancy, insecurity, vagrancy, pick pocketing, robbery, are examples of the social harms that have been noticed in the square and it's surrounding environment. Social harms and Anomie can be controlled to some extent in urban surroundings by providing environmental arrangements, and traffic regulations along with basic and structural reformations. Efforts to improve the cultural quality of the square, optional usage of the existing values, supporting the symbolic role and cultural nature of the square must be made. Making it safe for pedestrians, bright and clear places, as well as decreasing the number of commuters by moving some of the public means of transportation to other places, are only a few suitable ways to design and build a good place in order to decrease social problems and difficulties of Azadi square.

The main objective in this paper is to survey the level of political Anomie among Iranian students using some theoretical Concepts such as: feeling of effectiveness on sociopolitical issues; sociopolitical trusts; and the feeling toward the rules and regulations. Theoretical arguments, including Durkheim’s theoretical reflections on political Anomie, are presented. Field survey is the applied method of collecting data through a researcher made questionnaire.Students of Islamic Azad University constituted the statistical population of this research. A sample of 350 respondents completed the questionnaire. Cluster sampling applied to the selection of students. Findings show that respondents suffer from political Anomie at the rate of higher than average on a five points scale. Respondents also express low effectiveness on sociopolitical issues; their feeling of sociopolitical trust and civic obligations are average on this scale.

Introduction and Aim of Research: This article studies the Anomie and its effective Factors in Rasht city. Norm disordering is a main problem of the essay. If it happens, person cannot correct, select and so encounters with amazing in selecting accepted norms and legal means for reaching them.This study has been done by using Merton’s Anomie theory. Based on this viewpoint, Anomie is disproportion between accepted social goals and legal means for reaching them or reaching to success.Research Method: The main method of research is social survey, which has been performed by questionnaire. There are 500 people in the sample and method of sampling is multi-phase-cluster.Findings: The study of triple dimensions of Anomie in Rasht shows that there is high level of Anomie especially in formal one.

Also, variables such as social trust and social satisfaction have a reversed relationship with Anomie. As a whole the triple variables determine 15 percent of Anomie.

In developing cities, through the population density and moral aggregation, the accession of social inconvenience is so unavoidable. In this term, moral derangement and incoherence of norms apparent and the equivalence of social life lead to hazard. Meanwhile, the form of unorganization is occurred in the society which annihilate the order and hence Anomie will be divulge. In some metropolises, cultural rupture is exist because of different groups. the subject of this survey that includes the assessment of Anomie in urban ghettos, focus on the component of Anomie versus the affection of Anomie on contexture of urbans, gain us the bases of policy making in metropolises. The case of this study includes karaj ghettos and gain us that Anomie is occured by cultural conflict and blockage of social circuit.

Introduction: Durkheim's focus is the moral crisis. He believed that the main crisis of societies in the transition period is the moral crisis. According to Durkheim, the problem of societies is "consensus" and the loss of "moral authority". In his works, Durkheim has tried to analyze such a crisis, identify its causes and factors, and make a way forward for these societies. Therefore, the present research has examined Durkheim's view on moral Anomie. Material and Methods: The present study is a review. The researcher has examined the works of Emile Durkheim as well as articles related to the keywords of the present study that were published in Google Scholar, Science Direct, Springer, Emerald and SAGE Journals from 2000 to 2023. Conclusion: From Durkheim's point of view, religion and tradition were the origin and basis of social cohesion and moral order in the past. But due to the variety of knowledge sources, development of scientific ideas, division of labor, social differentiation, rationalism and individualism, the religious foundations of such moral beliefs have become weak and shaky and cannot fulfill their cohesive and disciplinary role. For this reason, he is trying to establish a new ethics inspired by scientific knowledge. This new ethics is rooted in sociology and humanitarian and altruistic ideas. Durkheim believes that the only way to overcome the moral crisis in society is to develop civil ethics. Voluntary membership of people in social groups and professional and civil associations causes commitment and adherence to ethical rules.
