Abstract
Introduction: Vandalism as a destructive behavior; It causes destruction, physical damage and material damage to public capital and reduces social order. Based on this, the aim of the research is meta-analysis of studies related to urban vandalism behaviors.
Data and Method: The method is meta-analysis (quantitative), its statistical population is 45 documents and the sample size is equal to 41 research documents in the period of 1401-1372. The sampling method is a deliberate-non-probability type and a reverse questionnaire, and the validity of the research has been examined according to the type of articles (research and journal type), writing quality, level and scientific expertise of the authors, as well as the research review method.
Results: The results show that vandalism in Iranian society is caused by social-cultural heterogeneity, social control, capital level, reference model, social pressure, social disorganization and cultural issues according to the theory of structural pressure. These variables have explained 0.354 of the changes in vandalism behaviors.
Conclusion: Heterogeneous development (cultural backwardness of institutions and groups) has led to institutional dysfunction (social-structural pressure) and ultimately social disorganization (emergence of vandalism). As the conditions of institutional development have deteriorated (unbalanced or unbalanced development), social disorganization (functional disorder of social institutions) has also increased. Failure to solve social disorganization caused by social pressures on the society has led to class divide, social failure, and accumulated conflict, dissatisfaction, feeling of injustice, feeling of discrimination and vengeful thoughts and destructive actions.
