AbstractSocial capital strengthens emerging adults’ ability to reach life goals, but little is known about how peers and near-peers (slightly older and/or more experienced peers who serve in mentorship or coaching roles) support social capital development especially among young people of color. To address this gap, the current study examined how social capital derived from peers and near-peers contributes to emerging adults’ ability to actively mobilize social capital in pursuit of their education or career goals (i.e., self-initiated social capital) and, in turn, their education and career outcomes. A total of 841 emerging adults who participated in one of five community-based education and/or workforce support programs were surveyed (72% female; Mage = 20.1, SD = 1.84; 35% Latinx, 30% Black, 19% Asian, 16% Other). Peer social capital was indirectly associated with outcomes (i.e., progress towards education/career goals, commitment to paying-it-forward, collective efficacy to change systems) via greater self-initiated social capital, whereas near-peer social capital was both directly and indirectly associated with outcomes. The mechanisms by which peer and near-peer social capital support emerging adults as they work towards their goals may differ and have important program implications.

This qualitative case study examined how social capital development was facilitated in an urban after-school program. Specific attention was devoted to identifying structures and strategies that helped student participants develop social capital, the types of social networks that were developed through program participation, and the outcomes that were attributed to these networks. The findings suggest that the program’s purposeful design and skillful implementation presented students with opportunities to forge heterogeneous and bridging relationships that fundamentally shaped their learning experiences and their future social, educational, and professional aspirations.

Favorable resident perceptions of the development of social capital resulting from hosting community-based tourism is an important issue for the Chinese authorities. This study aimed to develop and test a multidimensional scale to evaluate the perceived social impacts from tourism on social capital from sustainable community-based tourism in China. A questionnaire was distributed to host community residents (430) in Fanhe village, Guangdong Province. Analysis from this survey resulted in the development of a six-factor model incorporating 20 items in the six groups. This allowed the researchers to assess perceived social impacts on social capital: covering collective efficacy, community belonging, traditional social regulations, community cohesion, social networking, and community competence. The study reveals the multidimensional nature of perceived tourism social impacts on social capital in the Chinese tourism community and contributes to a better understanding of how residents view the social capital associated with community-based tourism as part of sustainable development.

Abstract: The geographic position of an area should not be a determinant of the economic development in a region. When a region has a low level orbitation to the central government, it is necessary to find alternative capital that is actually embedded in the community and potential to be developed. Rather, the pattern of central development that be applied in a remote area without regard to local condition will only lead to failure. In this case, social capital that can roll out community based development can be a solution especially for people who living in remote area.Keywords: social capital, development communityAbstrak: Posisi geografis dari sebuah kawasan seharusnya bukan merupakan faktor penentu berkembang atau tidaknya pembangunan ekonomi di suatu daerah. Ketika sebuah kawasan memiliki orbit yang rendah terhadap pemerintahan pusat, justru perlu dicari kapital alternatif yang sesungguhnya sudah tertanam di kalangan masyarakat dan potensial dikembangkan. Justru, pola pembangunan dari pusat yang dipaksakan di sebuah daerah tanpa memerhatikan kondisi setempat hanyalah akan membuahkan kegagalan. Dalam hal ini, kapital sosial yang dapat menggulirkan pembangunan berbasis komunitas dapat menjadi solusi khususnya untuk masyarakat yang tinggal di daerah terpencil.Kata Kunci: Kapital Sosial, Komunitas Pembangun

Social capital is a dependent variable that depends upon the competence and coherence of the individuals in the community and mode of social relationships, trust and networks they maintain.

A case study method was adopted for the study in which ten palliative care units were analyzed. The results show that a number of social capital elements are playing a vital role in the sustainability of community palliative care movement in Kerala.
