Abstract:   (486 Views)

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the sociological dimensions of the social health of citizens of Lar and to identify the factors associated with it.
Methods: The research was conducted using a qualitative approach based on Strauss and Corbin’s grounded theory method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 14 experts, specialists, and citizens with lived experience. Participants were selected through purposive sampling, and data collection continued until theoretical saturation was reached. The collected data were analyzed through open, axial, and selective coding.
Results: The findings showed that social health is influenced by three main categories of factors: social, cultural, and economic. Social factors include social trust, social networks, social solidarity, and social participation. Cultural factors involve education and social literacy, values and norms, and cultural interactions. Economic factors include access to economic resources, economic welfare, unequal distribution of resources, and economic support for families.
Conclusions: The results indicate that social health emerges from the interaction of social, cultural, and economic factors. Therefore, improving social health among citizens requires comprehensive and multidimensional social policies that address these interconnected determinants.
