Introduction

Trust forms the core of "social capital". Political trust is one of the branches of trust, which has a great place and importance in the relationship between the central government and the people, and indicators such as the legitimacy and acceptability of governments are related to it. In Kermanshah province, which is one of the Kurdish provinces of the country, It is considered and contains various religions such as Shia, Sunni and Ahl al-Haq, the level of political trust has fluctuated in recent years and has not been very favorable in general.



Research Question And Hypothesis
In this research, our main question has been, what is the trend of political trust in Kermanshah province during the survey of the country's social capital measurement plan in 1393 and 1397?
Also, our hypothesis in this research was that it seems that the political trust in Kermanshah province during the two investigated periods (1393 and 1397) was lower than the national average and had a downward trend

And then the state of those obtained data, analyzed and compared with the previous period.


Discussion & Result

Using the theories of the institutional approach of political trust and also using the social capital report, we examined the trust in institutions and political agents in 16 cases in Kermanshah province. The investigated cases are: banks, Basij bases, governorates and districts, broadcasting, police station, judicial authorities, Islamic city and village council, municipality, political parties and organizations, tax affairs department, members of the government delegation, representatives Parliament, judges, clerics, managers and government officials and police and security officers.

The state of trust in political parties and organizations in Kermanshah province is at the national average level, but in 1397 it has reached lower than the national average. The state of trust in managers and government officials was slightly lower than the national average in 1993 and higher than the national average in 1397.
In terms of percentage distribution, the trend of trust in banks, Basij bases, governorates and districts, radio and television, judicial authorities, Islamic city and village councils, municipalities, political parties and organizations, finance and tax administration, board members The government, members of parliament, judges, clerics and managers and government officials in Kermanshah province have been declining and only the trend of trust in the police force and law enforcement and security officers has been increasing.


Conclusion

According to the fact that out of 16 components examined, in 14 cases the trend of trust of the people of Kermanshah province has been decreasing and only in 2 cases it has increased, our hypothesis is confirmed and we conclude that political trust in Kermanshah province during the two periods The survey (years 1393 and 1397) has had a downward trend.
Since both in 1393 and 1397, the state of political trust in Kermanshah province was lower than the national average. As a result, in total, at the time of this research, the state of political trust in Kermanshah province was lower than the national average.In general, in terms of the percentage distribution of the trust of the people of Kermanshah province to political institutions and agents, it has reached a worrying situation, and the statistics below 50% for 9 components out of 16 examined components, shows the low political trust of the people of the province, and this It is a warning for these institutions and political agents that if they continue with this situation, the people's trust in them may reach even lower than these cases, which can ultimately be a big challenge for the political system.
Based on the institutional approach of political trust and the ideas of thinkers like Giddens, it is possible to link the low trust in institutions and political agents in Kermanshah province to the citizens' assessment of the performance of those institutions as well as the expertise, skill and ability of political agents, and the continuation of this process reduces political trust. , may cause political, security and social challenges in this province in the coming years.
