چکیده:
One of the biggest problems in social capital research is the measurement of this concept. Researchers chose indicator or indicators for measuring social capital according to their approach. In this article، we try to measure social capital level in different provinces of Iran. In this regard we use combination of survey approach and AHP method. Trust، social participation، civil cooperation and honesty are chosen as main indicators of social capital. Questionnaire has been distributed among citizens of Iranian province centers in 2008 summer. The quantitative level of indicators for each province has been determined by analyzing the relevant questionnaire. On the other hand the importance and weights of each of 4 indicators determined by AHP matrix which was distributed among social capital researchers. Finally using results of questionnaire analysis and weights of indicator، the quantitative level of social capital has been achieved. The results show that Semnan has occupied the first place in social capital level followed by Yazd، Zanjan and Ghazvin.

Table Number 2: Number of samples broken down by provinces (Population: Aban 85; Statistical Center of Iran) (Refer to page image) social participation, civic cooperation, and honesty, a quantitative value was obtained for each of these indicators.
The process was such that this matrix was sent to experts and researchers, and then after checking the consistency<EndNote No="46" Text=" Consistency"/>, the weight of each indicator was determined; subsequently, the quantitative index of social capital was obtained using the sum of the weighted indicator values.
From his perspective, deep collective emotion mostly occurs through collective rituals (such as holidays and national and religious ceremonies) Continuation of Table 1: Indicators considered for social protection in various texts (Refer to page image) Source: (Esmaeili, 1385) and authors' review Based on the above table in this article, four main indicators that have been used in most studies and have greater suitability with the religious and local atmosphere of the country have been selected.
On the other hand, by distributing the AHP matrix among social capital researchers, the importance of the indices was determined, and the weight of each index in the quantitative value of social capital was specified.
Regarding which <EndNote No="41" Text=" Indicators"/> should be used to assess social capital, there is no consensus, and in most studies, the definitions and measures provided by the researcher are used (Kemanade, 2003, p9).
Figure 2: Geometric mean of weights provided by researchers (Refer to the page image) Using the above matrix and applying the standardization method, the weight of each of the 4 indicators in social protection is obtained.
