Societal and economic security is a basic pre-requisite of a sustained and balanced development in a community. On one hand lack of such a feeling may apparently decline the dynamic forces of a given society, and on the other it may boost social costs of the society without making an improvement in welfare of that society. This research aims at studying the sense of security among Tehran’s citizens and the factors affecting such a sense among them. As a survey research, this study used organized interviews with 384 persons via cluster sampling. Societal sense of security is comprised of four main aspects: physical, financial, intellectual and collective. Findings showed that the over 90 percent of Tehran’s citizens have average to low societal sense of security. From the aforesaid four aspects, social, financial and physical security had higher average rate than intellectual and collective security. There is meaningful relationship between social-economic status, social confidence and inclination to participation with social security. Also, the value of R2 was calculated to be 0.258 which indicated that these variables can explain only 25.8 percent of changes. Also social-economic status and social trust were found to have the highest rate of influence on social security.

The aim of this study (2012) is to investigate the relationship between the sense of security and trust. This research is based on the theoretical approach of Giddens. Giddens believes that the new world has brought about non-reassuring and unsecured situation. So trust will provide the formation of security and if trust is not grown, it will be fears and feelings of security. Target population of this research included all Arak citizens. Technique of data collection is based on questionnaire. Sampling method is stratified random and sample size is 400. In this article, sense of security is measured in the four dimensions of financial, physical, intellectual and collective and the relationship of each of these dimensions are measured separately with trust variable. The results of this study indicate that there is a significant relationship between trust and sense of security. Since generalized trust has a stronger statistical correlation with sense of security in comparison with other dimensions, the proposed solutions for increase social trust are provided in order to increase the sense of security.
