The main purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of social capital on knowledge and experience sharing among female students of Nahavand unisex university using quantitative survey. The statistic population of the study consisted of all senior undergraduate students in four existing disciplines including agricultural extension education, industrial engineering, physical education, and medicinal plants disciplines (N=98). The standard scales of Nahapiet and Ghoshal (1998) accompanied by Putnam (2000), and the learning organization questionnaire of Watkins and Marsick’s (2003) were employed to assess the students’ social capital, and knowledge and experience sharing components, respectively. After re-validating research instrument by faculty members of agricultural extension and education department at Bu-Ali Sina University, its reliability was secured at 0.82 using the Cronbach’s alpha. The structural education modeling (SEM) and maximum likelihood method exposed the overt and covert variables’ interactions. Data indicated that the students’ social capital index was higher than average, while their knowledge sharing remained in a moderate level. Meanwhile, the SEM both confirmed the model and revealed that the social capital significantly and positively affected all components of the knowledge and experience sharing’s.

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.
