Abstract

Civic participation is considered to be the key component in achieving the goals of urban management development. It is a process through which the inexperienced and ordinary people of a community experience and practice the power to make decisions with regard to the ordinary affairs in their community. There are several factors that determine the degree and intensity of civic participation. The present study, entitled “ An Analysis of Social Factors Affecting Civic Participation: An empirical assessment of Social Capital Theory” , investigates the impact of factors such as people Trusting each other, public’ s Trust in city administration, membership in local parties and associations, and the media on civic participation and the tendency toward civic participation. The theoretical framework of this study is based on Social Capital Theory. The research undertaken here is an applied survey study. The data was gathered using a questionnaire, the validity and reliability of which was calculated using the Cochran formula. Cluster sampling method was used to select 881 residents from the 22 districts of Tehran, the capital of Iran. The data was analyzed using the SPSS and AMOS softwares. The findings of the study revealed that the Social Capital Theory can explain and predict up to 59 percent of the changes in civic participation. After the introduction of inclination to civic participation, 62 percent of the changes in civic participation could be explained and predicted. Confidence in the urban management institution in the first model and membership in parties and local communities in the second model had the most influence in explaining the Social Capital theory, while the media had the least influence. The findings also revealed a below average participation in municipal and neighborhood affairs on the part of the residents.
