Introduction
Security is regarded as one of the basic necessities of individuals and societies, whose absence or disruption will have worrisome and dire consequences (Torabi and Goudarzi 2004, p.32). To live in a society and reach higher levels of development, humans need security and peace. As a result of the increase in social crimes and deviations, feeling of insecurity creates ever-increasing worries in society (Sarukhani and Hashem Nejad 2001, p.82). A normal situation can turn into a security case when fundamental social values are subjected to threat. Thus, the issue of providing security for fundamental social values, including social integrity, territorial integrity and political governance, is of high and continuous importance. On the other hand, it is not so long that the concept of social capital has been globally introduced, yet it has so quickly penetrated into academic societies. That is because social capital, as a new concept, has a potentially wide utility for different research projects. Social capital and its relationship with issues of crime prevention and violence reduction is indicative of the close relationship between social capital and feeling of social security (Behzad, 2002, p. 49). Social capital is a factor that has a significant role, compared with physical and human capitals, without which it is impossible to follow the path of cultural, economic and security development. It is considered as the cement needed for connecting various parts of the society. It has been also analogously likened to the oil needed for smoothening the interaction of social, economic and political affairs of a society, without which social life will be hard, fragile, short-lived and costly (Ghafari, 2011, p. 371)
Material & Methods
This is survey-based study including a sample size of 286 individuals working for Gorlestan Province Governmental establishment, who were selected by means of proportioned random sampling method. In order to test hypotheses of the proposed conceptual model, methods of descriptive and inferential statistics have been used. In the descriptive part, statistical tables are used for demographic description and analysis. Regarding the inferential statistic, Pearson correlation analysis has been used. To define social security as a variable, three dimensions of social discipline, social integrity and identity security are specified, each having 4 items (a total of 12 items). To define social capital as a variable, three dimensions of social participation, social trust and common codes, are specified, each including 4 items (a total of 12items). Data collection is done using field and library methods. To collect information from statistical sample, a questionnaire was designed asking for respondents’ sex, age, and educational level as well as their opinion on the aforementioned items of social capital and social security variables.
Discussion of Results & Conclusion
The main research hypothesis was that there is a significant relationship between social capital and feeling of social security. The results of the research show that the relationship is significant in the sense that upon the increase in social capital, feeling of social security increases as well, and vice versa.
The need for security is one of humans’ most important needs. Security is a multi-faceted phenomenon and the study of security rate in a society is possible using social, political and social factors. The majority of researchers believe that the level of social security feeling in a society is as important as its existence. Because, individualsʹ reaction to insecurity in society defines their perception of security, feeling of security is regarded as a key variable. Therefore, paying attention to the subject of social security feeling in a society as well as taking into account the crucial role of social capital in explaining the rate of social security feeling, should be regarded as a priority in strengthening and cherishing the mentality of progress as well as social and cultural development for the next generations.
