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.

The main purpose or this research was to evaluate Herzberg 's two-factors theory (motivational and hygienic factors) teachers of Qom. Herzbergs two-factors theory was used as a theoretical framework for the research. From 2824 guidance school's teachers, as ample of 340 teachers were selected, using Cochran W.G formula. The method of research was survey, and the validity of questionnaire was confirmed using content validity and its reliability was confirmed by Cronbach coefficient (ra=0/906). According to the final results, the teachers believed that success, appreciation, the nature of job, and progress have effective role in motivating them. According to Herzberg's opinion and research hypothesis, hygienic factors should not affect teachers motivation, while they in fact did affect. When motivational factors were ranked, it became clear that male teachers believed factors such as success, progress and the nature of job were effective in motivating them, but female teachers believed appreciation, the nature of job, and unofficial relations were more effective.
