Abstract: Nowadays democracy is essential for governance and citizens want to play increasing roles in policy making. But maximum political participation is not the only factor for the realization of real democracy and other preconditions such as political trust, political knowledge, acceptance of political democratic norms and political networks need. All of these concepts present political capital, which increases the ability of citizens for influencing political systems. Therefore, improving the quality of democracy requires improving political capital and the first step is recognizing influencing factors on this concept. For this purpose, 12 of experts in this field were interviewed and was employed thematic analysis for analyzing data. The results indicate that influencing factors on political knowledge and actions can group in two dimensions: citizens and government. It means for improving political capital governments and citizens, both of them, must do actions.
