Abstract:
The present paper focuses on the study of the network social capital in Tehran’s tenneighborhoods, located in districts 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. In this paper, social capital isconsidered from a social network approach, also known as network social capital.The study is based on 318 face-to-face interviews with men and women who wereselected randomly from five districts in Tehran. The results indicate that thenetworks are composed of ties with family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers,where about half of the relations are with family members. Although individuals areknown to be fairly familiar with notable figures of their neighbors, they have notseen as depending on their local ties. Moreover, here, voluntary activities of therespondents at the local level have been taken into consideration.The final section of this paper, in addition to discussing the importance of payingattention to neighborhoods and districts for their beneficial functions, placesemphasis on the point that concentrating on neighborhoods and local relationshipsseparately is highly likely to fail. Only with the creation of more opportunities forthe formation of personal networks and the facilitation of communication betweenindividuals, it would be possible to benefit from all the potentials of a modern city.
