The present study aimed to identify factors affecting the social participation of shopkeepers in Tehran historical texture (Region 12) in urban projects (building pedestrian ways). It was a quantitative-survey research and the data was collected through questionnaires. Using stratified random sampling method, 155 subjects were selected from among shopkeepers in the region 12 of Tehran. The theoretical framework of this research was a mixture of viewpoints of Parsons, Homans, Lerner, Dahl, Emerson, Lipest, Giddens and Coleman in the field of social participation and the viewpoints of Luhman, Offe, Paxton and Giddens in the field of social trust. For collective memory, the viewpoints of Durkheim, Halbwachs and Ricœur. The present paper aimed at explaining the relationship between social participation (depending variable) and categories such as collective memory, economic incentive, social trust and relationship (main variables) and the type of job, ownership and location of shop, educational degree and income (subsidiary variables). The results of Pearson Correlation Test showed that there was a significant relationship between the mentioned variables (except the variable of ownership) and the degree of participation. The results of the multivariate test also indicated that independent variables explained 59% of depending variable variance and the variable of ‘economic incentive’ is of a more contribution among them. Generally, the conclusion was that the social participation among shopkeepers in the historical texture of Tehran is identified as an effective element in the social environment and shopkeepers have an appropriate understanding of the importance of their social participation in the place of their business.

The theoretical framework of the study was prepared by applying the theories of social capital theorists like Putnam, Fukuyama, Coleman and Bourdiou, and by investigating some of the ideas concerning the sense of security, such as the theories of Durkheim, Giddens, Parsons, Horney and Forum. Social trust, social relationships and social participation were three indicators identified as the indicators of social capital, and four hypotheses were developed on this basis. This is a survey research that used questionnaires to examine the research sample comprising of 369 high school female students from Region 4 of Tehran; and we used stratified sampling, commensurate with the size of the selected sample. The results revealed that the relationship between social capital and sense of security among female students was direct and significant, meaning that the more social capital students have, the more they feel secure. It was shown that social participation had a significant positive correlation with the sense of security; however, social relationship had a significant relation with the sense of security and it was revealed that students with less social interaction feel more secure. The results showed that social trust among female students had no significant relationship with their sense of security and this hypothesis was not confirmed.

Abstract This article aims to examine the factors influencing tendency towards active social citizenship of citizens 18 years and older in YazdProvince. This research was carried out in the form of a survey, and questionnaires were used to gather data. The sample size was estimated at 650 people who reside in the counties (shahrestan) of Yazd, Taft, Bafgh and Behabad. The results show that the mean of tendency towards active social citizenship is 3.45, which is somehow more than the middle extent in the 1 to 5 grade continuum. Stepwise regression results show that the variables of social trust, social efficacy, the level of education and gender had a significant impact on tendency towards active social citizenship; in total, 23% of changes in active social citizenship are explained by these four variables. Furthermore, the variables of attitude to political system and the feeling of having citizenship rights had an indirect impact on tendency towards active social citizenship.
