Abstract
AbstractIn this study we investigated the relationship between social capital (SC) and quality of urban life (QoUL). In fact, by using the concept of SC, we examined accuracy of the causal relationship among the three dimensions of the QoUL (objective, subjective and behavioral). The 22 district of Tehran was our case study. This district officially ran in 2000. The main tool for data collection was questionnaire and its constructs were directly extracted from the literature review. According to Cochran formula a total 384 questionnaire were distributed among participants. The data obtained from the questionnaire were analyzed in SPSS 21 as well as Smart PLS 3. The approach of structural equations modeling (SEM) was employed to confirm or decline our hypotheses. Findings of this study show that SC was positively associated with all three dimensions of QoUL. Also, the high objective QoUL in our sample has created a high subjective QoUL. However, the SQoUL did not lead to high behavioral QoUL. We believe that the low level of SC in the area has led to such a result.
