Self-organization in the sense of the ability of biological, natural and social systems to change their structure by themselves during the process of their interaction with the environment is one of the most important cybernetic and conceptual principles at the core of systems science. Although self-organizing is rooted in biology and physics, but also social systems, the Internet and virtual social networks because of the characteristics of self-organized systems (such as complexity, dynamism, imbalance, spontaneity, interaction, recreation, self-preservation, synergy, positive feedback and Negative and...) Can be considered self-organizing. Society can be described as a self-creating and self-organizing system that is able to reproduce and organize itself through structural actions and interactions and social actors and based on human creative activities. The Internet is also a technological-social system (consisting of a technological subsystem or networks consisting of computer networks and social subsystems or networks consisting of social communication networks) and a network of networks in which the human factor plays a key role in web self-organization.The present study was conducted in a conceptual review manner with the aim of explaining the principle of self-organization in social systems, especially the Internet and virtual social networks.

The aim of this paper is to investigate the effective factors on internet use in postgraduate and PhD students in universities of west and northwest of Iran (Uremia, Kurdistan, Razi University of Kermanshah and Bu Ali University of Hamedan). The studied sample includes 609 students in these two educational levels and data has been collected using questionnaire. In addition, all graduate groups including the Department of Humanities, the Department of Basic Sciences, the Department of Engineering, and the Department of Agriculture have been used in sampling. In this study, linear regression, Logit regression and Probit method with SPSS software from analytics have been used. In addition, the Cronbach's alpha coefficient, which evaluates the reliability of the questionnaire, is 0.87 which indicates an acceptable reliability for this questionnaire. The results of this study indicate negative impact of university on internet use and positive effect of educational group, semester, employment status and information sources in the use of internet. Moreover, Hosmer- Lemeshow test confirms the presented model. Finally, it is suggested that university administrations provide clear and practical policies for accessing and using the internet, and designing specialized databases designed to operationalize them so that the fields scientific development, through which economic development and so on.
