Descriptive and analytical methods were used to discover relationships between variables and examine the impact of social capital indicators. The necessary data was collected from credible library, document, electronic resources, theses, and reputable articles. The results indicate that the social participation factor is one of the most important social capital indicators due to its greater impact, and the social cohesion criterion has the highest importance in the first priority.
