Abstract

At the beginning of 2018, floods hit cities in Khuzestan province, and camps for women and children were set up in the Susangerd city. Accordingly, the present study aimed to qualitatively analyze the consequences of the accommodation of women in the camps in a qualitative manner. Sampling was purposeful and until the time of theoretical saturation and 20 interviews and the method of data collection was an in-depth interview without structure. The results of data analysis by coding in NVivo8 software showed that the phenomenon of "female camp accommodation" has led to individual anomie and structural anomie. Dimensions of individual anomie are: 1)psychosis (with the categories of emotional erosion and psychological erosion) and 2)individual inefficiency with the categories of individual dysfunction, self over-assumption, lack of institutional support and social isolation). Dimensions of structural anomie are: 1)community aphasia (with the categories of erosion of social cohesion and erosion of social capital) and 2)structural inefficiency (with the categories of structural dysfunction, erosion of social health, other over-assumption and segregation of isolation). What is considered important in the present study is that women's views of social phenomena are different from men's views, and the experience of these negative consequences is due to their feminine gender and the impact of gender on their understanding of phenomena and attitudes. They are about phenomena.
