The present study tries to determine the effects of social and cultural capital on the environmental behavior of citizens in the city of Sari. The research was a cross-sectional survey in terms of applied type and research method. The statistical population of the research was all citizens over 18 years old, and the sample size was 400 people according to the Cochran formula, including the pre-test samples. The sampling method of the research was a multi-stage cluster. The tool for data collection was a researcher-made questionnaire for the variables of social and cultural capital, and the questionnaire of Kaiser et al. (1999) was used to measure the environmental behaviors. In this study, the theory of bio-environmental culture of Georges Thomé and Bourdieu's cultural capital were used as a theoretical framework. SPSS software and Pearson's correlation coefficient tests and regression analysis were used for data analysis. Face validity was used to measure validity and, in all variables, the reliability of the tool was higher than 0/7. The simultaneous investigation of the effects of social and cultural capital on environmental behavior is considered the innovation of this research. The findings showed that the average of environmental behavior patterns among people is relatively high and its average is 3/73 out of 5. The average cultural capital among people is relatively low and its average is 2/79. The average social capital is equal to 3/04. The results of the correlation test showed that there is a significant positive and direct relationship between the amount of social and cultural capital with environmental behavior. To improve the level of environmental behavior, the amount of social and cultural capital should be increased. According to the regression analysis, social and cultural capital variables explain and predict about 23/1% of environmental behavior changes. Social and cultural capital have an effect on environmental behaviors and the effect of social capital is much higher.
