This essay seeks to establish a dialogue on the term development and its implications from the perspective of the territorial/rural approach. It also aims to outline a brief panel on social capital, social networks, and partnerships as alternatives to the permanence of rural communities in their territories. The text takes into account the socioeconomic and cultural aspects present in the studies and authors addressed, as well as the process under the aegis of capital, which produces and consumes spaces and cultures that evidence individuals of communities in an invisible rural. Especially nowadays, when technique and mechanization are placed as the assets to be achieved by agricultural activities, it would be imperative to establish itself for family farmers - many not holders of socioeconomic power to engage in this process, alternatives focused at their (re) existence for the land and for their work.

Potential Interactions

Communication technology initiatives have proved to be an important influence in rural communities in recent years. Our research has demonstrated that such initiatives have far-reaching effects on a community’s formal and informal social networks and, as a result, on its social capital. Given this fact, it is critical that leaders and management committees of community technology projects are aware of the broader social context in which project activities take place, and the potential interactions that can both benefit and damage community social capital. This chapter addresses key issues that have arisen out of a number of major communication technology projects in Queensland, Australia, and draws upon our findings to propose guidelines that will assist project planners with the design and implementation of future communication technology initiatives in the context of regional and rural community development.

The Social

Rural students are more likely to complete their high school diploma but less likely than urban or suburban students to enroll in college. This is in part due to exposure to college and social capital, particularly differential access to social networks including individuals with college degrees. Schools can play a role in bridging the social capital gap as school teachers and counselors are individuals with college degrees who live in and near rural communities. In this vein, teachers and counselors can inspire the college aspirations of rural students, a prerequisite for student engagement in college choice processes.

Easy Task

The aim of this paper is to analyze sources of social capital, i.e. that segment of the overall capital which is embedded in social ties and relationships. This is not an easy task because in theoretical debates differences between sources, manifestations and effects of social capital are very often blurred. It is argued that different approaches in the analysis of the sources of social capital could be integrated into one conceptual model which would include two direct sources of social capital social networks and social norms. In addition, formal institutions and trust are also closely related to social capital. These determinants influence the development of social capital and are mutually related.

Different Levels

The study provides the impact of social capital on credit choices and growth of household businesses in Vietnam by using a data sample of 3,813 observations. Social capital is considered at different levels: micro for human capital and macro for social networks. It concludes that although both levels of social capital influence credit choices of household businesses, the micro level of social capital plays an important role in improving the household business’s growth, including asset and income growth. The study develops a broader view about the use of resources and financing choices in household businesses in Vietnam. Accordingly, it highlights the importance of social capital from multiple aspects — the household business itself, human capital, social networks and government — on the development of Vietnamese household businesses.

The Relationship

This presentation reports on a study that investigated the relationship between public libraries and social capital in rural communities in Ontario. Preliminary findings suggest that, in contrast to urban communities, the use of libraries in small towns is not significantly related to increases in levels of social capital.Cette communication présente une étude portant sur la relation entre les bibliothèques publiques et le capital social dans les régions rurales de l'Ontario. Les résultats préliminaires suggèrent que contrairement en milieux urbains, l'utilisation de bibliothèques en milieu rural n'est pas intimement lié à un accroissement du capital social.
