Measuring and enhancing community capacity in outback NSW: the case of Broken Hill

测量和提高新南威尔士州内陆地区的社区能力：布罗肯希尔的案例。该项目将通过深入分析新南威尔士州一个内陆社区的社会资本形成和动员，阐明农村重建的必要条件。这需要在布罗肯希尔的微观和宏观层面上对社会资本进行多维分析，涉及跨部门合作，与经济，人文和生态因素的相互作用，社区组织和社会企业家的作用。该项目直接涉及广泛承认的需要，即为农村社区的可持续性寻找有效途径。该项目将向决策者和社区提出切实可行的建议，并将对社会资本理论作出贡献。

Measuring and enhancing community capacity in outback NSW: the case of Broken Hill. The project will elucidate the necessary conditions for rural renewal through intensive analysis of social capital formation and mobilisation in one outback community in NSW. This entails a multidimensional analysis of social capital at the micro and macro levels in Broken Hill, in relation to cross-sector collaboration, interaction with economic, human and ecological factors, the role of community organisations and the social entrepreneur. The project directly addresses the widely acknowledged need to find effective pathways for sustainability of rural communities. The project will produce practical recommendations to policy makers and the community, and will contribute to social capital theory.
