Abstract
Social order is a vital phenomenon for the survival of society, which in modern society is not considered a fixed thing, but rather a meaningful, dynamic thing that is constructed in the process of everyday social interactions and influenced by the multiple lifestyles of actors. The present study, with a qualitative approach and using the data-based theory method in the style of Strauss and Corbin, seeks to explain the process pattern of adherence to social order in the context of the lifestyle of young people in Yasuj. Data were collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews with young people aged 15 to 35, and purposive sampling continued until theoretical saturation (20 participants) was achieved. The data were analyzed through three stages of open, axial, and selective coding and explained in the form of a paradigmatic model.The findings show that young people see social order as a combination of formal rules and customary norms that regulate everyday relationships and interactions. Adherence to order is shaped by causal conditions such as family and educational socialization, cost-benefit calculations, the need for social acceptance, and the desire for calm in interactions, and is strengthened or weakened in a context influenced by urban changes, cultural diversity, and the coexistence of tradition and modernity. Intervening conditions, including perceptions of fairness in the enforcement of rules, peer pressure, and the role of social media, modulate the direction and intensity of this adherence.
