Objectives: The present paper attempts at examining the relationships which exist between the article’s main concepts namely folklore, cultural capital and tourism. However, cultural capital originally was coined by French sociologist Pierre Bordure to include non-economic factors education in particular that may be responsible for poverty and other negative characteristics of the poor, the concept later on was expanded to cover attitudes, characters, and customs. As a result folklore of a society may also be regarded as a form of cultural capital. The article then deals with the importance of tourism especially due to globalization experienced by all cultures around the world. Today tourism is regarded as the most important source of national income. Both income and occupation multipliers embedded in tourism will serve as positive factors facilitating development. Finally the article Reviews however briefly the Iran’s case as a society that is very rich in various forms of tourism’s attractions which makes her desirable as a tourism destination. Method: The article is based on literature review. As result it may be regarded as an analytical and descriptive research, aiming to enhance the existing familiarity with tourism and a number of other important concepts. Results: In Iran, tourism industry is a neglected domain. Thus the most important objective of tourism industry is to emphasize the importance of such a domain as far as development is concerned. The other important objective is to enhance the general public’s knowledge concerning the role of tourism as far as income and job creation are involved. Despite the fact that the article is based on a review of literature a number of findings may be mentioned. First, tourism industry at the time of economic globalization and the coming of automated industries that create very limited number of jobs, may act as the most reliable source of job creation. Second, tourism when carefully and consciously planned is a nature friendly undertaking. Thus, third it may be regarded as a component of sustainable development.

Introduction: One of the most important advances in theory of sociology is increased attention to lifestyle as a key concept in explaining human social behavior. Lifestyle includes physical preferences, appearance, housing, work, and leisure habits that distinguish citizens from each other. In recent years, healthy lifestyle has been attention by sociologists. Paying attention to lifestyle and health change behavioral and mental dimensions due to improvement of health. Happyness, confidence, energy, strength, and health are all qualities an individual wants. The real question is how bad they want it. It is really not as hard as it seems. Gradually changing your life into a well balanced, healthy lifestyle can be done. It may be hard getting rid of old habits, but it is well worth it. Start with little changes and less excuses. Living a healthy lifestyle is not a diet or some ridiculous weight loss challenge. Living a healthy lifestyle is a melting pot of several factors. One is not able to live a healthy lifestyle without a solid diet and workout foundation. The harmful side effects of processed food, drugs, alcohol, and sleep deprivation trump one’s life while mental and emotional stability aids in a healthy lifestyle. According to the World Health Organization, only one in ten people exercise regularly and a majority does not follow a healthy diet. The main culprit is our penchant for junk food as can be seen from the popularity of fast food chains and other western eateries. Even local foods such as fried noodles, friend rice, snacks, and savories are laden with fat and calories. Thus, consuming this type of food on a daily basis can contribute to weight gain. Overweight and obese people suffer from many health complications such as diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and even cancer. Leading a healthy lifestyle is a conscious decision. One can ignore that and lead a life that exposes one too many health hazards. It is important to recognize that a healthy living ensures a longer life span as well as a life free of disease and complications. Hence, the emphasis on healthy lifestyle should start at young ages. Parents must urge their children to eat more vegetables, fruits, juices, whole meal and wholegrain foods. Many parents, due to time constraint, usually find the easy way out by cooking two-minute noodles or heading towards the nearest fast food joint for quick meal. They do not realize however that sets the stage for an unhealthy lifestyle for their children who quickly become addicted to such foods. Thus, parents can counter this problem by cooking or preparing meals that do not take up time such as cheese sandwiches, soup, stir fried vegetables or buy pre-packed meals from supermarkets which can be warmed up in the microwave oven.

Change in healthy lifestyle can be made facilitated by a number of factors including types of capital (social, cultural and economic). Therefore, the aim of this paper is to investigate the relationship between different types of Capital and healthy lifestyle. It seems that the city of Sanandaj in Kurdistan province due to cultural differences in ethnic and linguistic terms with other parts of Iran, in the field of lifestyle is suitable for the evaluation.

This study intends to analyze effect of variety of women's capital on healthy lifestyle and tries to answer this question that what is the effect of types and sizes of capital (economic, social and cultural) on women's choice of healthy lifestyle in Sanandaj?

Method: This paper is a descriptive and non-laboratory study was conducted using survey techniques. The population were all of the over 18 year old women of the city of Sanandaj. The sample size was chosen based on Cochran formula (310) and stratified cluster sampling method is determined. The data collection tool has been a combination of questionnaires researcher made and standards that were valid and reliable.

Findings: Results of research on the status of healthy lifestyle of women in Sanandaj based on six dimensions show that situation of women is moderate in four dimensions (spiritual growth and self-actualization, accountability of health, interpersonal relationships, and nutrition), but in both the exercise and stress management is low. Moreover, the findings indicated two types of capital (economic and cultural) and their aspects and dimension of social networks from social capital index, with varying degrees of severity, has significant relationship with healthy lifestyle.

Discussion: So, it can be argued that factors of cultural and economic capital have positive effect on selection of healthy lifestyle. In addition to the components of social capital and network index which leading to the expansion of the collaborative activities and public relations have significant effect. In other words, it seems that women linkage in respect to growth of awareness about health and their engagement in different activities has been helpful in selection of type of lifestyle.

Introduction: Healthy lifestyle as one of the most important measures to achieve health and wellbeing, is influenced by various factors, among which, having access to variety of health- related capitals, especially “health- related cultural capital” is particularly important. “Health-related cultural capital” refers to all culture-based resources that are available to people in order to employ in favor of their health. These recourses have a determining role in preventing and fighting chronic diseases. This study aimed to investigate the effects of health-related cultural capital and its various aspects on healthy lifestyle among coronary artery patients .

Method: A cross sectional survey study was applied.. The statistical population included individuals suffering from coronary artery diseases, aged over 50 years who were referred to Shahid Rajaie Cardiovascular, Medical and Research Center for treatment from January to June 2015. Using convenience sampling, 412 patients in 4 different wards (i.e. men internal ward, women internal ward, Diplomat and VIP) participated in this study. A researcher-designed questionnaire was used to collect data. The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by content validity and its reliability was assessed by the Cronbach's Alpha test which was equal to 0.914 for the variable “healthy lifestyle” and 0.862 for the variable “health-related cultural capital”. Data reduction was carried out via exploratory factor analysis. The data were analyzed using the SPSS software applying appropriate statistical tests such as the Independent Sample t Test, the Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient and Path Analysis.

Findings: The descriptive findings showed that based on the total lifestyle scale, the healthy lifestyle status of the patients, before being afflicted by the disease, was lower than average.. Among various aspects of lifestyle, aspect of “Abstinence from tobacco and alcohol” was in the “desirable” state. However, aspect of “exercise and physical activity” was in the “undesirable” state. All other aspects were in the “average” state . The results of the Independent Sample t Test showed that there were statistically significant differences in the mean scores of the variables “Objective Health-related Cultural Capital” and “Institutional Health-related Cultural Capital” in terms of gender. That is, the mean scores of men were higher than the mean scores of women. Nonetheless, there was no statistically significant difference between men and women with regard to the variable “Incorporated Health-related Cultural Capital”. The results of the Pearson’s correlation coefficient indicated that there was a positive and significant statistical relationship between health-related aspects of cultural capital and aspects of healthy lifestyle. Moreover, the results of the path analysis showed that 0.624 percent of the lifestyle changes can be explained by changes in three aspects of health-related cultural capital. Finally, among the three aspects of health-related cultural capital, the aspect of “incorporated health-related cultural capital” , withthe highest coefficient (0.460), was the most important predictor of the healthy lifestyle.

Discussion: Cultural Resources are one of the most important factors determining the actions of individuals and it is also a basic prerequisite for the behavioral orientation of agents in structural environments. These resources, through the process of socialization, create behavior and tastes of people in various socio-economic status and from different generation. That is, the appropriate lifestyles will be created for that social class or generation. Promoting health-related cultural resources (such as knowledge, skills, values, norms, equipment and health promoting facilities , etc.) are considered the key elements in the production and reproduction of healthy lifestyles. Consequently, it leads to a reduction in socio-cultural inequalities in health domain in a way that prevention and fight against chronic diseases (i.e. heart disease, cancer, diabetes, etc.) will be provided for most actors in different (individual and collective) levels.

Introduction: Social distinction is a condition which is seen through the actions of consumption. In modern societies, social classes and class fractions adopt different social positions through the use of economic and cultural goods .  An automobile is a distinctive status symbol, marking off, but ultimately misrecognizing the inequalities of classes of a society. This research tries to show that different classes, possessing or dispossessing different economic and cultural capitals, by choosing a luxury automobile, are looking for distinction and by choosing mass-produced automobiles try to satisfy their lives’ needs. The research tries to answer this question that whether a luxury automobile (Arvand license plate) leads to creation of sense of distinction among high class fractions which possess cultural and economic capitals?
 Method: The survey method was used for  this research. Statistical population included all  populations of Dezfoul who were 18 years old and above. Through convenience sampling, the sample group was 268 people, of which 134 had Arvand-license plate cars and 134 had Mass-produced cars. Also, the self-made questionnaire which had good reliability and validity was used to collect data.
Findings: Analysis of data demonstrated a significant  difference between the owners of Mass-produced cars and the luxury ones in all three dimensions, namely economic and cultural capitals and social distinction . The correlation  between economic capital and social distinction was stronger in comparison to the  correlation between cultural capital and social distinction.. In. Structural equation Model, the variance changes of distinctions through economic and cultural capital was defined 64% among which the role of economic capital was highly more than the cultural capital.
Discussion: the research results showed that high-class people with the luxury cars, due to having access to economic and cultural capitals, achieve social distinction which distinguishes them from the rest of social classes. On the contrary, low-class people with their mass-produced cars and with lower economic and cultural capitals achieve less social distinction or, better to say, do not look for social distinction.

Introduction: The wishes of people are not created in a purely personal and individual way, but the objective position of people in society determines the ceiling of wishes. Dreams or wishes of people are influenced by external conditions and differ depending on the living conditions of individuals. Wishes are different from one another; the desired wishes of a particular class for the other class are impossible and unattainable, which reflects class distance in groups of society. 
Method: The results of this study have been obtained by qualitative method through a deep interview technique among the young people living in Tehran. 
Findings: The findings of this research show that there is a concord between objective fortune and subjective wishes, and people’s wishes are distinct based upon economic and cultural capital. The youth  living in north of Tehran are sure about achieving their wishes.  
Discussion: Despite the lack of enough and adequate means for living and working in the community after graduation, in the beginning the structure of Iranian educational system is very promising, but in practice, a large number of these graduates after receiving higher degrees, will become disappointed because of failures in the labor market. Therefore, working and living outside of Iran has become a dream for many young people regardless of their class base.
