Local community is the most suitable context for achieving social richness, so that the value of the fabrics of urban neighborhoods can be measured by social patterns. In the course of passing the traditional concept of urban planning, new concepts have emerged that originate from the origins of sciences such as sociology, and the explanation of the problems associated with the lack of identity and attachment to neighborhoods has gone through the refinement of concepts such as social capital. The purpose of current research is to study the extent and comparison of social capital dimensions in urban neighborhoods, especially in different types such as the two neighborhoods of Sultan Mir Ahmad and Fin Kashan. The method of sampling in this research is multi stage and the information gathering tool was a questionnaire and its validity was calculated using confirmatory factor analysis and its reliability was calculated using Cronbach's alpha test. Ultimately, the hypotheses were analyzed by the test methods for surveying the difference between the two independent samples and chi-square test. The findings of the research show that there is a significant difference in the size of the social networks in the two types of neighborhoods, which have a more significant role in group relationships and the level of social trust has been lower in terms of demographic heterogeneity in the old neighborhood. Within the framework of policy-making, we can use the qualitative mechanism of relationships, trust, participation and social cohesion in neighborhoods, with emphasis on social relations and trust.
