<abstract><p>This paper was devoted to defining new soft closure operators via soft relations and soft ideals, and consequently new soft topologies. The resulting space is a soft ideal approximation. Many of the well known topological concepts were given in the soft set-topology. Particularly, it introduced the notations of soft accumulation points, soft continuous functions, soft separation axioms, and soft connectedness. Counterexamples were introduced to interpret the right implications. Also, a practical application of the new soft approximations was explained by an example of a real-life problem.</p></abstract>
