本文探讨了贫困和排斥之间的动态,邻里,健康和福祉考虑的作用,社交网络和社会资本的社会过程中涉及。它基于定性研究,以两个贫困地区为典型案例研究,并涉及对居民的深入采访。邻里关系对网络和社会资本的影响进行了探讨,网络类型学的发展反映了个人网络的结构和文化方面。以及影响健康的途径。社会资本的复杂性得到了解决。三个因素在影响社交网络和社会资本的作用被证明:邻里特征和看法,贫困和社会排斥。和社会意识。对不平等的看法可能是社会资本和士气低落的一个来源。不同的网络结构密集和薄弱,同质和异质-参与社会资本的创造,并对福祉的影响。应对、享受生活和希望被确定为益处。虽然参与组织被确认为有益的,它建议,今天的异质社区也需要再生的地方工作机会,以发展必要的包容性社会资本和更好的健康的起源桥接关系。尽管社会资本有能力缓冲其更严重的影响,但这一概念并不完全足以解释贫穷对健康和福祉的有害影响。(C)2001爱思唯尔科技有限公司。保留所有权利。
This paper explores the dynamics between poverty and exclusion; neighbourhood, and health and well being by considering the role of social networks and social capital in the social processes involved. It is based on qualitative research taking two deprived areas as exemplary case studies, and involving depth interviews with residents. Neighbourhood influences on networks and social capital were explored, network typologies developed reflecting structural and cultural aspects of individual's networks. and pathways implicated in health effects considered. The complexity of social capital is addressed. The role of three factors in influencing social networks and social capital are demonstrated: neighbourhood characteristics and perceptions: poverty and social exclusion. and social consciousness. Perceptions of inequality could be a source of social capital as well as demoralisation. Different network structures dense and weak, homogeneous and heterogeneous- were involved in the creation of social capital and had implications for well being. Coping, enjoyment of life and hope are identified as benefits. Although participation in organisations was confirmed as beneficial, it is suggested that today's heterogeneous neighbourhoods also require regenerated local work opportunities to develop bridging ties necessary for the genesis of inclusive social capital and better health. Despite the capacity of social capital to buffer its harsher effects, the concept is not wholly adequate for explaining the deleterious effects of poverty on health and well being.
