Rural development is inseparable from the role of village communities as one of social capital. Dasa Wisma and Setu Legi Association is a place for social capital and community empowerment to improve the group's economy. However, as the economic drivers of the Brajan hamlet community in Potorono Village, the group experienced problems about the lack of orderliness of members because there were no written regulations and the absence of financial reports as a measurement of group assets. So that assistance to improve administration as a group's financial accountability and SOP for lending is absolutely necessary.

To identify the effect of social capital on financial development, we exploit social capital differences within Italy. In high-social-capital areas, households are more likely to use checks, invest less in cash and more in stock, have higher access to institutional credit, and make less use of informal credit. The effect of social capital is stronger where legal enforcement is weaker and among less educated people. These results are not driven by omitted environmental variables, since we show that the behavior of movers is still affected by the level of social capital of the province where they were born.
