Investigating the Relationship between Marginalization and Social Alienation and Social Distrust (Case study: Social Security Clients in Rasht)

Marginal residential areas usually have non-standard and very dense, unsanitary, unsafe and socially unsuitable houses. Margin is culturally low, which includes social and physical dimensions, and can cause social ills such as social alienation and social distrust.The present study aims to investigate the relationship between marginalization with social alienation and social distrust. The field method is a questionnaire using survey technique and data collection tool. The statistical population is 384 people covered by social security insurance in the suburbs of Rasht, which have been studied using a simple random sampling method. The present study seeks to investigate the relationship between marginalization as an independent variable and social distrust and alienation as a dependent variable. The mean index shows that the level of social distrust (3.39), social alienation (3.74) and marginalization (3.62). There is a positive and significant relationship between marginalization and social distrust and social alienation. If the level of communication with marginalized people or being more affected by the culture of marginalized people is higher, the rate of social distrust (0.43) and social alienation (0.40) are also higher. Therefore, efforts should be made to increase the level of social trust in marginalized areas.
