The purpose of this study was to investigate the most important factors in the occurrence and epidemic of emerging infectious diseases such as Covid-19 and their relationship with modernization and globalization based on the concepts presented in the sociological perspective of risky society Irish Beck and the demographic view of health transition. The research method is descriptive-analytical and based on existing documents. According to the findings, the most important reasons for occurrence of emerging infectious diseases is environmental change (climate change and global warming and deforestation), which is related to human interventions in nature. Urbanization, high density in cities, air pollution, the increase in migration and the growth of spatial mobility are also among the most important factors in the spread of diseases such as Covid-19. All these causes and factors are related to modernization, globalization and its risks. On the other hand, social, economic, health and geographical inequalities also play an important role in the continued presence of the Covid-19 epidemic within and between countries, especially in middle-income countries such as Iran. These inequalities have become more pronounced, especially after the discovery of the vaccine. Therefore, occurrence, global prevalence and differences between countries in this field can be explained with the risky society and the health transition approaches.

Political participation is one of the main indexes of political development. The general aim of this research was studying social and cultural factors of political participation. These factors are: economic condition, occupation, education, urbanization, mass media, powerlessness, and trust to government. Our general hypothesis was that the improvement of social conditions leads to enhancement of political participation, both formal and informal. The method of research was survey using questionnaire. The unit of analysis was family heads of four villages around thd city of Bushehr. Using random sampling, three villages namely Chah kootah, Abtavill and Talashki were chosen to represent three levels of high, average and low development. Then 250 questionnaires were administered proportional to the population of these villages. Toe results showed that there were considerable differences between formal and informal political participation. Informal participation increased as the level of education, urbanization and using mass media increased. But, formal participation was highly related to the level of confidence to government. These findings show that informal political participation is related to the indexes of development positively, which confirms modernization theories.
