Athlete migration is one of the major challenges facing developing countries, including Iran, which is influenced by complex economic, social, and sports-related factors. The aim of this study is to provide a typology of these migrations. This research was conducted using a qualitative approach and thematic analysis, and data were collected through semi-structured interviews, documents, and published reports. The findings of the study revealed that two main factors influence the migration decisions of Iranian athletes: (1) social network relations, and (2) the perception of socio-economic instability. From the intersection of these two factors and the analyzed codes, five types of migration were identified: temporary migration, migration based on dependency and cultural ties, migration for career development, migration driven by livelihood challenges, and migration with the intention of seeking asylum. The results indicate that managing this phenomenon requires supportive policymaking, improvement of economic conditions, and the creation of professional opportunities. This study can assist sports managers and policymakers in designing effective strategies.

This research was conducted with the aim of designing a model for the development of public sports based on new technologies such as social networks. a qualitative method and a systematic Grounded theory were applied on this study. The statistical population includes Faculty members of universities and the General Directorate of Sports and Youth and the General Board of Sports who were interviewed. The number of samples extracted from the research components that reached theoretical saturation is 14. To analyze the data, a systematic approach including three main steps of open coding, axial coding and selectie coding was used. During the process of open coding, a total of 424 primary codes were obtained without considering overlaps, and in the next step, 83 common concepts were obtained based on overlaps and similarities, which formed 24 axial codes. Finally, the obtained conceptual codes defined 10 categories for us, based on which the final research model was drawn. Based on the findings, causal factors include professional needs, cultural needs; Background factors include infrastructure and soft substrates; Intervening factors include specialized mechanisms, general mechanisms, strategies include structural development, support; The consequences include macro development, health-oriented development. Therefore, it can be concluded that by using investment opportunities in the field of media productions related to public sports, special attention should be paid and all the efforts and power of sports organizations should be in the direction of using the capacity of sports elites and prominent figures in social networks in order to promote public sports.

This research was conducted by survey method and in order to improve the validity of the questionnaire measures of face validity and reliability by using Cronbach's alpha coefficient which was higher than 0.70 for all variables. The statistical population of the study includes all young people aged 15-29 in Ardabil, the number of whom was 193826 (95822 boys and 98004 girls) according to the registration statistics of Ardabil, of which 598 people were selected by cluster sampling using Cochran's formula. Several stages were selected as the sample. To analyze the data using two methods of descriptive and inferential statistics and using SPSS software after preparing the matrix table, the information was organized in the form of one-dimensional and two-dimensional tables. Findings showed that there is a significant relationship between the independent variables of mass media use, religiosity, social networks, social capital, cultural capital, economic capital and relationship with reference groups with the dependent variable of value priorities.

The study is to explain the changes in the social identity of young people through virtual social networks. The research was conducted in the theoretical framework of cultivation theory, Giddens theory and Castells network community theory. The data was collected through survey from 384 young people aged 18 to 35 using researcher-made questionnaire. Sampling was done using Cochran's formula and multi-stage cluster method. The results of regression analysis and path analysis showed that the virtual social networks predict 15/5% of changes in youth social identity. On the other hand, despite the spread among users, the use of Twitter and Facebook social networks, did not explain the social identity variable. The use of YouTube with a value of 0/295 had the highest explanatory rate, which included a direct and indirect relationship. The second influential social network in explaining this variable was Soroush, which had the opposite effect in explaining the social identity of young people, unlike Twitter.
