Iran is facing a problem of underdevelopment with regards to the Economics of Culture (EC) and is far from developing, developed, and even similar countries in this regard. EC develops with maintained order on the components of the economic, cultural, social and political subsystems and their relations with each other and as a result of quantitative and qualitative growth and diversity in the process of production, distribution and consumption of goods and cultural services. In the present article, development of EC and its relations with order in society have been studied through a comparative method between the top 10 advanced countries and the top 10 developed countries in EC and Iran. The results indicate that the more order in society, the more the increase of in said society. The correlation between order in society and the development of EC was r = 0.72, and 0.52 of the changes of EC is explained by order in society. In simultaneous explanation, changes of EC, and economic and cultural capital have the greatest potential for explanation. The Probability Interval Method showed that if Iran reaches a growth rate of 1.84 in economic capital, 4 in cultural capital, 1.6 in social capital and 1.64 in political capital, it will reach an EC in 2030 similar to that of advanced countries.

The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between social body acceptance and cultural capital and the tendency towards cosmetic surgery. The study was conducted through a survey, and the population included all the 15-54-year-old women living in Malayer in 2016. The sample size estimated through the Cochran formula was 656, and the sample was selected by simple random and multiphase cluster sampling method. The descriptive results showed that women had a high tendency towards cosmetic surgery (46.5). At the medium level, they posessed cultural capital (37.63), and on the average to upward level (39.7), they desired to be accepted. The regression results showed that from among the independent variables, the dimensions of cultural capital (i.e., objectified, embodied, and institutionalized) and social body acceptance (i.e., general, organizational, and peer), objectified capital (B= 0.51), general social acceptance (B= 0.49), institutionalized cultural capital (B= 0.26), and peer acceptance (B= 0.22) had the highest share in explaining the dependent variable. Furthermore, the prediction equation of the degree of women’s tendency towards cosmetic surgery could explain 58.1% of the variance of the dependent variable. The results also showed that the most common reasons for cosmetic surgery included manifested consumption, objective well-being, and social acceptance.

Mohammad Sheykhi[1] Anahita Nezami[2] Saeedeh Amini[3] Date of Receive: 2015/4/15 Date of Accept: 2015/9/3 Abstract The feeling of place attachment is one of the most important factors affecting the individual’s relationship with the environment. This feeling encompasses various factors which affect the individual’s quality of life in any place. The existence or non-existense of the feeling of the Place attachment affects the behavior of individuals in the society. This study has been conducted with the aim of studying and comparing the factors which affect the feeling of place attachment among the settlers of Parand New Town (formal settlement) and Nasimshahr (informal settlement). In order to achieve this goal, the researchers tried to develop an appropriate theoretical framework by relying on the existing theoretical perspectives and in the light of that, the research hypotheses were formulated. The required data were provided using the survey method. Based on the Cochran's formula, the sample size was estimated to be 392 and multi-stage cluster sampling method was used. The results of this study indicated that in informal settlement (Nasimshahr), the feeling of place attachment is more than formal settlement (Parand New Town). Also the social capital of the settlers of Nasimshahr was more than settlers of Parand New Town and the cultural capital of the settlers of Parand New Town was more than that of the settlers of Nasimshahr. The regression analysis results showed that the feeling of place attachment in Parand New Town was affected respectively by social capital, attitude towards physical– spatial characteristics and cultural capital and in Nasimshahr it was respectively affected by social capital, cultural capital and attitude towards physical– spatial characteristics. In sum, according to the results, social capital is the main factor that affects the feeling of place attachment in Parand New Town and Nasimshahr. [1].

Tahereh Ghaderi Sepideh Rezaie AbstractThis research explores the relationship between cultural capital and its different aspects and youth’s tendency to fashion. This study also tries to answer if there is any difference between female and male youth in their tendency towards fashion. To answer these questions, 415 young adults -between 18 to 29 years old- of Shiraz were selected as the sample of the study. The theories of Radical Feminists, Veblen and Bourdieu were used as the theoretical framework of the research. Regarding Radical feminists analyses, there was a difference between young male and female adults in their tendency towards fashion. This hypothesis was rejected by the results of the research. From Veblen's analysis, the independent variable of “need for prestige “was drawn. The results of the research showed no correlation between “need for prestige “and "tendency towards fashion“. From Bourdieu's analysis, the independent variable of “cultural capital " was drawn . The results of the research showed a positive correlation between the institutionalized and the embodied forms of cultural capital and tendency to fashion.

Economic, Cultural & Social capitals are considered as worthwhile sources in every society. According to sociological theories, a combination of these capitals, determines the socio-economic status of peoples and the measure of these capitals' possession decide the situation of everyone in social stratification. Again, According to sociological theories the socio-economic status of peoples affects their attitudes towards different issues. Therefore the measure of different capitals· possession shapes peoples' attitudes towards social issues. On the other hand social justice refers to the special way that these capitals are distributed. How ersity and a stratified sampling control based on sex was drawn (n = 371 ). he results demonstrate that there is relationship between students' attitudes towards social justice and their possession different capitals. And the role of economic & cultural capital is more important than social capita in shaping such attitude. Students tend to the equality approach more than proportion and in the final analysis higher status students rather show most tendencies tu Economic Individualism and it is same about students who possess more economic capital. Students who possess more cultural capital have more tendencies towards proportion approach than others. Also students with higher social capital tend towards Equity approach. Sex & age also affect students· attitudes.

Reliance of local community on its own resources for promoting quality of life and resolving its collective problems has been the Focus of schools such as communitarianists, JH:!\V right, new left and the third ,vay. The basis of these approaches is enhancing capacities and mobilizing resources on a local level. It seems that cognitive and structural social capital together serve as suitable analytical concepts for identifying the potential for prcsocial behaviours and sociahvelfarc in different communities. Any measurement cf social capital, therefore, implies measurement of a society's potential to govern itself. Drawing on both micro (personal) and macro (urban areas) levels, the present paper aims at showing factors affecting social capital in different urban districts, and the relationship of social capital with other capitals. The findings indicate the structural variation of social capital in different urban districts. Social capital on both subjective and structural levels is directly related to physical capital.
