Happiness is the reason of many evolutionary behaviors and being happy is the ability that can reduce the side effects of the industrial age. But, it has received less attention in academic and scientific terms. There is a great need for precise and scientific studies in order to find out who is happy and what happiness is. The aim of this study is to consider the effect of cultural capital on the amount of happiness of young women (aged 15-24) in Isfahan. This survey has used all of the 15-24 years old women of Isfahan as its samples that account to 239072. Because of the diversity of the living areas in terms of the population the Kokaran formula has been used with a 5 percent deviation of 200 people. The sampling method has been chosen based on the characteristics of each area. The results showed that there is a direct relation between social capital and happiness and this relation is much stronger in cognitive, emotional and social dimensions respectively. In the domain of cultural capital the main effect has been in the cultural means, cultural skills and finally cultural documents. The average feeling of happiness among young women in Isfahan was 54.53 with emotional, social and cognitive dimensions. The average cultural capital was 27.57. Based on the results, the cultural skill has the most frequency and the cultural documents have the least frequency. On the other hand cultural means has the most inequality and cultural skill has the least inequality among young women. Keywords: Feeling Happy, Cultural Capital, Young Women.

Social capital is a relatively new concept in social sciences that quickly has found its position in other fields such as medicine, psychology, economics, politics, urban planning, etc. This concept is particularly associated with the quality of life. This relationship can be considered as a gateway of the concept of social capital to the urban planning. The essential point in this context is how to measure social capital and quality of life in cities and especially in the urban neighborhoods. This paper has attempted to provide a method to measure social capital and subjective quality of life of citizens and then examined the relationship between these concepts. For this purpose, Pardis new town has been selected as a sample. The overall results which are obtained by using the Pearson correlation coefficient, showed a significant and acceptable relationship between these two concepts in Pardis

An Introduction to the Studying of the Social Factors of Famines in Iran:
(A Case Study of the Great Famine of 1871)

Iran famines are as old as the history of the country. A great deal has been said about the causes of the famines. Most are concerned with the most superficial explanation of the famines, namely the wrath of the nature; and all that has gone to the Iranian people turned out to be the outcome of the unkindness of the Mother Nature. Such explanations are somewhat far from the reality. It is true that Iranian plateau, compared with parts of the world: namely Northern and Western Europe and also the world average, has less rainfall. Therefore, some of the periodical famines have occurred because of that. Still it is far from reality if we ignore the role of the various social factors in the creation of Iranian famines. The social factors sometimes have been the cause and trigger of the famines (primary or external factors) and sometimes have acted as intensifiers (secondary or side factors). In this article we have explained the significant role of the social factors in originating and continuing the greatest and most dreadful famine of 1871.
