The main purpose of this research is to investigate the relationship between social capital and drought resiliency.This study has been conducted with a Practical and quantitative approach.To analyze thedata, descriptive statistics and inferential statistics were used in SPSS and AMOS software, including validation tests and structural equations for testing hypotheses.The required data in this research were collected using a library and field method. Thestatistical population of the study included 13000rural people in the city of Kangavar. The sample size was chosen by the Cochran method that was considered 320people. The reliability of the research by Cronbach's alpha method is a reliability of 0.7. Which is reliable.
