The population consisted of 11,581 people and the sample consisted of 116 people chosen by non-probabilistic convenience sampling. A structured questionnaire was applied personally to collect the data. The results denoted that the economic capital and environment of a country represent a future prognosis in the economic coverage to ensure education, health, food, personal privileges that improve the lifestyles of individuals and their families.
