For data analysis the descriptive statistics and inferential statistics methods, including Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Single sample T-student test, and the method of structural equations modeland T2 hotelling test by application of AMOS Graphics V.18 software and SPSS.V.16 were used. Research findings showed that solidarity factor with coefficientof 0.85, trust and cooperation factors with coefficientof 0.77, mutual respect factor with coefficientof 0.74, participation factor with coefficientof 0.68, and social network factor with coefficientof 0.48 have the most effect at the social capital of faculty members of Iran's physical education college.

Happiness as something positive is vital to being healthy. It may be influenced by individual or environmental factors. The aim of this study is to examine the determinants of social happiness and despair among young men and women from the young’s and experts’ point of view. This research carried out by theme analysis.Statistical population consists of 60 people (47 young and 13 experts) selected by a purposeful sampling method. Findings revealed that external and social factors like economical problems, unemployment and underemployment had highest priority in social happiness. Conversely, personal factors such as motivation, religious beliefs, self satisfaction, health and personality were found to have limited role in social happiness. The same finding was found about social despair. The experts, unlike the youth argued that personal factors like life goal and identity seeking are more important in creating happiness or despair. So, we come to this conclusion that marriage, job, inter-family relationship and, much importantly and economic consistency are noticeable to make the youth become happy and satisfied. Therefore, planners and decision makers must refer to young peoples’ points of view to find what prevent them to stay happy.

The researcher-made questionnaire was confirmed by Cronbach alpha test (p=0.811). Descriptive statistics, k-s test, binomial test, and Mann Whithney U test were used for data analyze. Among studied factors spectators’ attendance path, parking and around stadium control, and stadium entrances control and searching were in a partly appropriate level. Informing and spectators’ awareness of forbidden items and security points, and stadium emergency equipment were in an inappropriate level. Crowd control was in an appropriate level.There are differences between opinion of spectators and event-holding authorities in informing and awareness of forbidden items and security points.

The purpose of this research is to evaluate the performance of Iranian proleague soccer teams, comparing the sports results that they actually obtain with those, that should have obtained on the basis of their potential, and to propose a future course of action.In order to assess the potential of each team in the Iranian professional soccer league in 2009-2010-season an out put- oriented version of Data envelopment Analysis is used. In this way, it is possible to calculate the number of points a team could have achieved with an efficient use of its actual resources and consequently, its potential position in the league classification.Results revealed that between 18 team, only the table actual and potential of two teams (Sepahan, Estil azin) is coincide. However the league champi (Sepahan) is the team with the highest efficiency and potential.Moreover, there are the teams that potentially could have achieved a better final position instead actual position such as Perspolis (1 instead 4), Fulad khozestan (3 instead 10), Esteghlal ahvaz (10 instead 18) and Abomoslem (15 instead 17), but due to inefficient use of their resources could not achieved proper result that lead two last teams to the relegation to lower division.Conclusions: first, in order to judge a teams performance throughout a season, we would recommend taking into account not just the actual final position achieved (top or bottom teams), but also the position that the team potentially should have achieved. Second, it seems that a teams final league positiondepends more its efficient use of resources than on it potential, since team that should have been relegated according to their resource instead remained in the first division, and vice versa.The results of this research have demonstrated importance of an efficient use of resources to obtain great sports results. So, one possible future line of research would involve providing mechanism allowing teams to improve their efficiency.
