    Social Studies and Research in Iran, Vol. 9, No. 1, Spring 2020 Sociological Study of " Residence Satisfaction" among Residents of the New Town of Pardis and its Typology Bashir Khademlou1 Naser al-din Ghorab2 Hosna Rezaei Rami3 Received July 14, 2019 Acceptance March 2, 2020 Abstract Introduction: The establishment of the new town of Pardis was approved in 1989 in order to settle a part of the overflow of Tehran's population. So that The “master Plan” estimates 200,000, the Pardis portion of population of Tehran in 2016. According to the plan, climate characteristics, employment attractions and lower housing costs than Tehran will be the main factors to select pardis for habitation. During these years,the failure of many of the Master Plan programs and the extraordinary implementation of some projects such as construction of "Maskan-e- Mehr" projects has caused many of the plan's initial aims to be failed in pardis And habitation's situation will face to serious challenges.so that it has predicted after the full implementation of "Maskan-e- Mehr" projects, The city's population reaches more than 400,000, more than twice its initial capacity. On the other hand, the failure of many employment-related programs to make pardis as "dormitory" town. The reality that has been intensified by the increasing costs of housing in the last one to two decades, especially in Tehran. Also the proximity to Tehran and the fact that the majority of residents ,inevitably or self-willy , coming from Tehran has given rise to complex subjective and attitudinal processes that have shaped various forms of residence satisfaction.

Achieving this goal, however, depends on various factors. The present study investigated the factors affecting the engineering employability of engineering graduates of Iranian universities. To analyse this issue, a graduates, systematic grounded theory (GT) approach, drawing on in-depth interviews with academic and university- industry experts, was used. The participants were selected using a purposive strategy. The Industry data analyses showed that employability is a context-oriented issue, and in addition to the relations, skill university and its internal mechanisms, external factors are also involved. Based on the data, a training, model is presented and analysed to explain the employability of engineering graduates. grounded theory Introduction The employability of university graduates is an expectation of all stakeholders and is emphasised in national documents and government policies in Iran. Therefore, individuals and governments invest in universities as one of the basic mechanisms in creating and enhancing job opportunities for graduates. In Iran, evidence such as the unemployment rate of graduates and its increasing trend (Statistical Center of Iran, 2018), graduates’ lack of practical skills, the large gap between their abilities and the market requirements (Entezari, 2016), and the poor link between the university, industry and the society (Sohrabi, Ebrahimi, & Joukar, 2016), all show that higher education is facing serious challenges.
