Social, cultural, and economic poverty is the most important factorbehind the emergence of suburbanization in cities.Although the suburbanites live in the realm of socioeconomic life of cities, they are not accepted as official citizens in the community. The main objective of this research is to provide strategies for empowerment of suburbanites inSonghor's town of shohada(of Kermanshah border province). Identifying the capabilities and limitations of suburbanite is very effective in achieving their empowerment strategies. The method of the research is a descriptive – analytical and survey method using Delphi method. The Method of data collecting is library method and interviewing experts and officials of Songor's municipality.QSPM and SWOT techniques have been used to analyze data. The results indicate that Suburban area in terms of the current situation is in a moderate position on the basis of the internal and external evaluation matrix,and in other words, the suburban region has not been able to exploit the strengths and has not taken advantage of the opportunities available and has been unable to escape the factors which cause its weakness and threat. Finally, after analyses done and providing a quantitative strategic planning and prioritization of the strategies,WO5's review strategyi.e holding of a justification workshop for urban managers to implement the empowerment and organization with a final score of 2.55,has become a top priority as the most important strategy. SO5's aggressive strategy i.e the establishment of a special committee for empowerment and organization holding special committee for empowerment and organizing is also in the second priority.

Following the industrial, economic and social changes in recent decades, rural emigration to urban areas have increased and development of urban areas have caused different social damages. Nowadays, social damages are among the most important threats to the security of metropolises. Growing increase in the number of criminals in metropolises, especially in developing countries is the most important concern of urban managers. Considering the security, economic, social requirements of this issue, identifying effective factors in increasing urban crimes is the most important part of urban planners’ agenda. The present article seeks to identify factors affecting crimes and social damages as a mean for preventing and controlling them. Suburban areas are an important context for social damages and their development results in an increase of social-economic insecurity. Results indicate that instability of humanistic values can easily increase due to different damages and crimes (either in the form of deviation or sickness or disorder). Social and economic injustice and specifically slow cultural development have resulted in many urban crimes. Cultural and economic poverty is the most important factor in the development and growth of urban crimes and results in urban texture worn out. The present article investigates social damages theoretically and conceptually, while classifying effective factors in the occurrence of crime and damages in suburban environment into three different groups of social-cultural, economic and physical factors.
