Abstract
Today, the approach of threats is changing from hard to soft and relying on psychological operations in
societies. By persuading and changing their behavior, crises and colorful revolutions arise in them;
therefore, to cope passive defense functions are effective; and the role of institutions and policymakers in
opening such spaces should not be neglected.
Social capital is one of the most important indicators of the growth of societies. This concept, which has
entered politics from social sciences, has a wide impact on the relationship between government and
society. The main question of the research is, what effect has the functioning of the country's eight
passive defense policies had on social capital in Iran? The case study method is contextual; in the
quantitative analysis section, the "multiple linear regression" method of "eight independent variables" is
used on "dependent variable". The statistical population is 17 people in the qualitative part and 140
people in the quantitative part of experts in interdisciplinary sciences. The results indicate that the
function of the eight passive defense policies on the components of social capital is significant and their
impact on the components of social capital is different and significant.
