As one of the main indicators of development of societies and the universal human rights, well-being is one of the issues emphasized in most countries. One of the factors affecting the well-being of community members is social capital. Therefore, the main purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between social capital and the well-being of citizens aged 30 years and above in Mashhad. The statistical population of this research was the citizens of the city of Mashhad, thirty years old and above among which 384 were selected using multi-stage cluster sampling. Also, for research data and collection, survey method and SF_36 standard questionnaire of well-being and the researcher-made social capital questionnaire have been used. The results showed that compared to non-employed individuals and females, the employed individuals and men had a higher well-being score, respectively. Also, the correlation between social capital and well-being was equal to 0.618. Concerning the dimensions of social capital, the results also indicate that the social norm has the highest correlation with well-being (0.603), followed by social network variables and social trust, respectively. The results of the structural equation model showed that %0.29 of the changes in the dependent variable (well-being) were explained by social capital dimensions.

Based on the distinguished and indigenous intellectuals of the Zohhad movement in Iraq, Sufism in the great Khorasan of the fifth and sixth centuries was able to begin with a profound transformation in the history of the inner world of Islam and the production of Sufi scriptures. The status of the state of Khorasan and the diversity of religious minorities contributed greatly to the prosperity of Sufism in this land. Khorasani›s Sheikhs, with the help of beliefs, as well as the Javanmardi,Malamati   , the Ayyari and the Ghalandari that existed in this line, helped to bring more and more Sufism to fertility and cut it off from a cognitive cocoon, The stubborn asceticism, as it was in Iraq, turned into a powerful stream, a situation that did not exist before. The findings of this research, which are based on a descriptive-analytic approach, show that Sufism in Khorasan has been used independently of the evolutionary, calenderi, Javanmardi, and so on for the expansion of their  Ultimately, by eliminating the autonomy of these thoughts, they have digested them.

This research was conducted with the aim of comparing the value system of ordinary couples and divorce applicants in Gonabad city in2015. Theoretical context of research is a combination of Inglehart’s value transformation theory and the Allport values system. The method of research in this study was survey type. The statistical population included couples referring to Gonabad courts with the application of divorce and ordinary couples in the same county.According to the research constraints, the sampling method was different in the two groups. In the case of couples applying for divorce, non-random sampling method using snowball method has been used. Regarding the group of normal couples, it is also done in a simple random method. The sample size for couples applying for divorce was 30 couples (30 women and 30 husbands) and 30 couples (30 men and 30 women) in ordinary cases. The results of the assumptions test showed that, there is a significant difference between the two groups of couples, except in the religious values system, in all five other values of Allport.

Security has different dimensions. An important and important dimension is the socio-economic security that holds onto the territorial communities. The existence of the boundary has created the potential for trade exchanges, including the creation of border markets for product supply. There are 43 markets in the border regions of the country. The Bajgeeran border market is also one of the border markets of the country, which was built in the city of Ghochan and bordered by Turkmenistan. Therefore, the research question is such that the extent to which the Bajgeeran border market has brought socioeconomic security to neighboring villages. Data gathering method was used as a library-field survey and data analysis method was used as descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation) and inferential statistics. Research items have been obtained from the socioeconomic security component. The statistical population of the research includes 22 villages of the rural districts of Golestan province. Due to the large population of this village, 5 villages (Burdur, Biradam, Sheikhanklou, Shamkhal and Karehikheh) were investigated near the border crossing. Using the Morgan table, the required number of 180 questionnaires was determined. The results indicate that the employment situation has changed before and after the establishment of the market, and the agricultural and livestock sector has decreased. The market has created new businesses such as salespersons, transportation services, manpower (service workers), and more. The statistics show that the amount of smuggling in the region has fallen in the past, as well as the establishment of market infrastructure and exchanges caused by it. The relationship between villages has also been expanded.

“Local consumption” or tendency to consuming products outside the conventional mass production system, with its abundance and easy access to industrial goods, is a new phenomenon in consumer research. This phenomenon is affected by various socioeconomic factors. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between this phenomenon and social and economic capital. Through a survey and using questionnaire and multi-stage cluster sampling, 383 individuals were interviewed in Sabzevar. Findings showed that there were no relationship between mass media and dependent variable, however, cultural capital and education had direct and significant relationship with dependent variable. Also it is notable that social capital influenced dependent variable negatively. Multi-variate analysis by entering all independent variables indicated that personal and generalized trust as well as organizational trust had the highest reverse impact on the tendency to local consumption of food.

The emergence of urbanization problems and, consequently, the decline in the quality of citizen lives in the urban fabric have led the experts to find a way to adjust the conditions of the human environment. Paying attention to the presence of pedestrians in urban spaces is one of the effective ways to improve the quality of urban areas. Unfortunately, due to the dominance of cars in cities, they have become the center of attention, causing pedestrians to be isolated in urban fabric. Mashhad, as one of the major metropolises of Iran, welcomes many tourists and pilgrims every year, which has adversely affected the traffic spread to the central, middle and even outer city neighborhoods. The main objective of this research is to achieve qualitative and environmental measures that are effective in improving the presence level of pedestrians in urban areas, as well as analyzing and evaluating these criteria and their priority level in the context of Mashhad neighborhoods. The research method is descriptive, analytical and case study. To this end, based on library resources and documents, theoretical discussions about the factors affecting the presence of pedestrians in urban neighborhoods have been discussed and effective components and indicators have been extracted. The extracted components are divided into two environmental and functional dimensions and analyzed in six neighborhoods of Mashhad. The results of this research show that although the attention to environmental criteria is evident in contemporary urban areas, but qualitative criteria have a higher quality in inner context of Mashhad. The inner context of Mashhad has preserved its identity and environmental qualities while the new constructions and growing presence of cars convey a different image from the identity of this urban fabric.
