Abstract: (10584 Views) |
| The common aspects of most definitions of social capital are their focus on social relations, which bring about productive benefits. The variety of definitions identified in the literature stem from the highly context- specific nature of social capital and the complexity of its conceptualization and operationalization. Unfortunately there are always limitations on socioeconomic studies around social capital in Iran, which originate from the lack of time-series statistics for social capital of the country. This study seeks to determine the amount of social capital in Iran’s provinces by factor analysis method. The results show that in this period, South Khorasan province has had the highest and Tehran province the lowest social capital in Iran. |
