最近对交通在社会互动中的作用的兴趣部分是出于希望更好地理解交通在网络资本中的作用，或者人们可以从他们的社交网络中收集的资源。尽管这个问题与政策相关，但很少有实证研究来阐明这种关系。本文阐述了一种数据收集和分析的方法，使用社交网络的方法来评估交通的社会支持，情感和物质的作用。比较了智利康塞普西翁两个收入水平不同的社区的个人网络，重点关注汽车拥有量在网络资本中的作用，以及社会联系的时间和空间特征的相关性。结果表明，有一辆车在家里不会导致同质访问网络资本，这在很大程度上取决于研究的社会资源和收入背景（邻里）的个人嵌入。研究结果还强调，需要把社会资本作为一个真正的多层面的概念和有用的个人网络的方法来评估这些复杂的关系。
The recent interest in the role of transport in social interactions has been partly motivated by the hope of achieving a better understanding of the role that transport plays in network capital, or the resources that people can gather from their social networks. Despite the relevancy of this question for policy, little empirical work has been done to elucidate this relationship. This paper illustrates a method of data collection and analysis, using the social networks approach to assess the role of transport in social support, both emotional and material. The personal networks of two neighbourhoods in Concepción, Chile, with different income levels, are compared, focusing on the role of car ownership in network capital, and the relevance of the time and space characteristics of social contacts. The results suggest that having a car at home does not lead to homogeneous access to network capital, which depends heavily on the kind of social resource studied and the income context (neighbourhood) in which the individuals are embedded. The findings also underscore the need to treat social capital as a truly multidimensional concept and the usefulness of the personal networks approach for assessing these complex relationships.
