The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between the social capital and urban social sustainability in the urban population over 20 years old in Mazandaran province. In order to investigate the relationship between these two variables, Coleman, Putnam, Fukuyama, Arnstein, and Driskell’s theories have been used. Data were collected using a survey method and a questionnaire tool from a sample of 400 people. Data analysis was performed using SPSS and Amos softwares. The descriptive findings of the research showed that the condition of the social capital structure and all its variables (i.e. social awareness, social trust, general norms, social participation and social cohesion) and the urban social sustainability structure (i.e. social harm, social justice, social liberty, social security and social welfare) were at a lower than average level. The explanatory findings of the research showed that social capital and all its variables had a strong direct and significant relation with urban social sustainability. Based on Pearson's correlation coefficient, social trust, social participation, social consciousness, generalized norms, and social cohesion variables had the strongest relationship, respectively. Based on the results of structural equation modeling, the theoretical model of the research based on various indices, such as CMIN / DF, RMSEA, NFI, CFI, PCFI, and etc had a reasonable fit. The results of this study confirm the empirical background and the theoretical framework of the research and determine the extent to which social capital and all its variables increase, thereby improving and enhancing the components and variables of urban social sustainability.

The data required were collected by using field (survey) research method and the questionary tool. Statistical population was included 152 subjects that 108 subjects were selected based on Morgan table. The descriptive results show that conditions of independent variables (total social capital¡ structural social capital¡ cognitive and communicational social capital) and dependent variable (organizational commitment) are under of average level and this is showing unsuitable conditions. The explanation results showed that all the hypotheses whether the main hypothesis (i.e. the relationship between total social capital and organizational commitment) and secondary hypotheses (i.e. the relationship among structural social capital¡ cognitive social capital¡ communicational social capital and organizational commitment) were confirmed. In multiple regression analysis¡ all variables (i.e. structural social capital¡ cognitive social capital and communicational social capital) were applied and the effect of them was the significant and coefficient of determination (AWT IMAGE) was 0.406. This shows that independent variables explained 40.6% of the variance and dependent variable variations that is a good value. Also¡ in order to simultaneously study the direct and indirect effects and all independent variables effects on the dependent variable¡ the path analysis was used. The variables communicational social capital¡ cognitive social capital and structural social capital had the most total effect¡ respectively.
