Population growth and the increased trend in citizenship over the past century have challenged both industrialized and developing nations. With regard to the role of social involvement in the human empowerment, enhancement of productivity, reduction of the city problems and realization of development, the problems arising from lack of participation or limited participation in the social activities of the cities in Iran, which is moving from a traditional to a modern society, are considered a major issue in city management. The present article is based on a study conducted in 2010 under the title of “A study of the Factors Affecting the Rate of Social and Cultural Participation of Payam - e- nour  university Girl Students”, in which  the variables  such  as educational level, sense of social dependence, financial problems, and membership in social and cultural organizations were analyzed as the most influential factors in the social and cultural participation. The study was carried out by survey and documentary approaches. Pretested questionnaires were used for data collection. Then, on the basis of the measurement scales of the variables, the data were codified and processed through the use of Spss software. Descriptive statistics (percent, frequency, mean, and median) and the inferential approach utilizing T- test  and Pearson’s  model  were used in analyzing the data. The findings showed that there is a significant relationship between the sense of social dependence, financial problems and membership in social and cultural organizations. However, the effect of educational level on the girl students’ social and cultural participation cannot always be confirmed and may lead to a reduction in their participation. The results indicated that alleviating financial problems has caused a considerable increase in the students’ participation. Also, the increase in their sense of social dependence and membership in social organizations have contributed to the students participation. The increase in educational level didn’t cause a significant increase in their participation. Therefore, trying to qualify and change their attitudes toward participation, diminishing their financial problems, and increasing their social dependence acted as a prerequisite for enhancing their participation.                                                                                                                      Manuscript profile
