Also this study aims at answering to three questions. The considerable population was Vienna inhabited Iranians in the Austria that were selected and interviewed by accidental sampling method. While studying cultural and educational places like schools and universities or monthly celebrations by Iranians these questionnaires were completed. Respecting hypotheses and research questions we can say that Vienna inhabitant Iranians had higher adaptation based duration of their inhibition and we can say that they were content with the entire socio-cultural services of this country and Vienna city, and it seems to be an appropriate place for migration. Finally based on hypotheses in this research the most influential factors on socio-cultural adaptation of immigrant Iranian in the Vienna city was income, education, duration of inhibition, housing status, job satisfaction, Austrian mutual behavior, national belongings and rate of intention of returning to Iranian problems, and on the other hand it is observed that to the extent that customers are relative adaptation is lower that represents the reverse result of what has been seen. Finally we can say that Iranians in Vienna city are adaptive people and simply accepted socio-cultural rules of that country.
