在过去的十年中,社区和社会资本的概念受到了广泛的关注,但却受到众多概念化、定义和操作化的困扰。对于试图使用这些概念的研究人员和政策制定者来说,这种混淆是有问题的。虽然已经做出了许多努力来澄清“社会资本”和“社区”,但这两个概念往往被简单地混为一谈。本文试图通过观察它们在具体例子中的各种联系方式来区分它们。主要从文献中提取,提供了五个例子,共同描述了基于地点的社区和社会资本网络的复杂相互作用。这些例子还表明,社区和社会资本之间在边界、社会关系的质量和对彼此的信任、工具性、一个对另一个的后果以及与一个地方的多个社区有关的问题方面存在差异。希望这些区别将为正在进行的努力提供信息,以发展这两个术语的独特和有用的概念。
The ideas of community and social capital have received much attention in the last decade, but are plagued by a multitude of conceptualizations, definitions, and operationalizations. This confusion is problematic for both researchers and policyrnakers trying to use these concepts. While numerous efforts have been made to clarify "social capital" and "community," too often the two are simply conflated. This paper attempts to distinguish between them by looking at the various ways they are related in concrete examples. Drawn largely from the literature, five examples are offered that together describe the complex interactions of place-based communities and social capital networks. These examples also demonstrate distinctions between community and social capital with regard to boundaries, the qualities of social relations and trust in each, instrumentality, the consequences of one for the other, and issues related to multiple communities in a single place. It is hoped that these distinctions will inform the ongoing efforts to develop unique and useful conceptualizations of these two terms.
