Abstract

This research suggests a methodological improvement to study social capital in online social networks. We have designed a measurement tool based on Lin's theory of social resources. It is named Social Village and can be accessed in (http://socialvillage.me). By this tool, we are getting access to profile and friendship data of users of online social networks (Facebook and Google Plus). To access this data, we ask for users’ permission by social login and we have designed a gamified and interesting social survey that helps users get an in-depth knowledge of their online life. This tool combines three structural generators for social capital data (name, position and resource generators) and it has been developed in three languages (English, French and Persian) enabling us to conduct comparative studies. Based on our results presented in this report, 412 users in sample of our study know who they are connected with in online social networks, they know their friends’ socio-economic positions and they are providing or receiving various resources through their online friendships and their level of social capital is signifacntly correlated with their activities in online social networks and some other variables that are discussed in the report.

Abstract

In this study, using the Network Analysis, the topic of Development and Underdevelopment in Iran, has been studied, with Historical-Experimental Approach and using Secondary Analysis of Empirical Findings. This study is based on analysis of some National Surveys, particular, a National Survey on Iranians Cultural Behaviors and two National Surveys on Iranians Values ​​and Attitudes, which have been conducted, respectively, in the years 1999, 2000 and 2003. Overall, our findings suggest that there are relationships between variables of Social Capital, Social Development. Our assumption in this study was that Lack of Social Capital has led to Lack of Social Development, and this phenomenon, in turn, can play an important role in Underdevelopment of Society. These findings suggest that in terms of some important elements of Social Development, such as Trust in Social Groups, Social Participation, Commitment to the Social Values ​​and Norms, Belonging to National Identity and Culture in Iranian Society, the situation is not desirable. In our opinion, the lack of Social Development would lead to Underdevelopment of Society. Consequently, if we want to achieve the goal of Comprehensive Development of Society, we should provide required backgrounds to increase the levels of Social Capital, and consequently, Social Development.

Abstract

The statistical population of this study is all farmers in Garmsar County, which according to the statistics of the Agricultural Department, the number of them is 5675 people. Of these, 366 people were selected randomly according to the Cochran formula, and information were gathered through a researcher-made questionnaire. The research method is quantitative and we have tried to use the multivariate modeling of structural equation to test the model derived from the theoretical framework of the research. The theoretical framework of research is the theory of peasant subculture and Bourdieu's theory of cultural, social and economic capital types. The findings show that experimental data support the theoretical model based on different types of processing indicators. Also, the assumptions that indicate a meaningful relationship between different types of capital and peasant subculture were confirmed, and those that emphasized the existence of a meaningful relationship between different types of capital and the attitude towards water use in agriculture were rejected. There is also a significant relationship between peasant subculture and the attitude towards water use in agriculture. According to the final result, various types of economic, cultural and social capital indirectly affect the attitude toward water use through the peasant subculture variables.

Abstract

This paper aims to study the relation between social capital and waste management and the effects of the former on the latter. The statistical population is all families residing in Amol. Among them, 445 people were selected based on the stratified sampling method. The results show that the highest level of disposal behavior refers to the metal waste and the lowest part pertains to the plastic bag of ice cream, chips, cheese puffies and so on. This is a very important finding and can be discussed more in later researches. The correlation coefficient of variables in social capital and waste management is positive. Owing to the fact that social capital makes a norm pressure on social participation, this positive coefficiency was hypothesized in advance. Besides, the more the social trust is among people, the better the waste management will be. In the other words, if people get reassured that all the society is waste managing, they will take part more in it as well.

Abstract

The formation of social interactions requires a spatial container. Public spaces can lead to the formation of a sense of identity, belonging and a sense of place by increasing the amount of communication, convergence of different individuals and groups, providing a platform for various activities and events, and thus inducing collective memory among the residents. All of which are components of social capital. , In the present study, an attempt has been made to explain the relationship between social capital, public spaces and neighborhood identity, the various dimensions of this issue. Therefore, the study of the impact of physical and social dimensions of space on the components of social capital such as trust and interaction and incidental participation in social networks can explain the role of public spaces in social capital and neighborhood identity. This research has been done through correlation and regression tests in spss-minitab software.
