چکیده مقاله :
This research was conducted with the aim of examining the role of social capital in achieving economic development. Focusing on the concept of social capital, especially in the economic sphere, through the role this concept plays in an interactive relationship with certain social indicators, can contribute effectively to the production and increase of human, economic, and environmental capital. Social capital flourishes and becomes efficient in a free environment intermingled with awareness, knowledge, and other favorable social conditions. Undoubtedly, identifying the constructive indicators and components of social capital at all levels of planning and macro policies for economic development will be highly beneficial. This research was conducted through a library and documentary method. The main basis of the theoretical discussions in this research is focused on the views of economic and sociological experts. In this research, while defining social capital and its related concepts, as well as reviewing the background of works and theoretical discussions, five major indicators of social capital: trust, cohesion, participation, religious-ideological affiliations, and social empowerment were studied and examined. The results of the research indicate that each of the mentioned components has a profound connection with formal institutions and particularly independent social networks in society, in such a way that strengthening the building foundations of social capital and the collective and comprehensive participation of this social force can improve the grounds for economic and social growth and development.
