“…These results indicate, although the occupation is not controlled, the ownership of new human capital is a factor to economic empowerment. The finding is compatible with the views of Mauro and Hardison [21], Rainey, Robinson, Allen and Christy [22], Cardamone and Rentschler [17], Emery and Flora [23] and Callaghan and Colton [24], which relating the new human capital with the acquisition of economic benefits. Even Orang Kuala"s ownership of human capital is an important element to overcome poverty in the community.…”

Abstract-Orang Kuala as the sub tribe of Orang Asli (indigenous people in Malaysia) cannot avoid the changes in which occurs around them. For the indigenous people, the change is always perceived as a threat which endangering their traditional human capital. It is rarely that the change is observed from a positive view in which it give them a chance to change their life and compete with the other community. In case of Orang Kuala, they are now participating in business-base economic activities and left the former traditional economic activities as fishermen. Their participation in business activities will alter their traditional human capital and push them to use a new human capital. The positive side of their involvement is that their economic activities will be empowered. This occurs due to the assumption that their engagement in business activities can help them to achieve economic empowerment. To scrutinize the truth, this article has two objectives; to identify the ownership and use of new human capital and to identify whether the new human capital is a factor to economic empowerment. This paper used a quantitative approach which has been conducted on 267 Orang Kuala in Johor, Malaysia. The study showed, the ownership and the use of new human capital are greater amongst businessmen as compared to fishermen. The study also showed that the ownership of new human capital is the factor of economic empowerment without differential amongst the difference of Orang Kuala's occupations.

Social capital is considered to be important for social inclusion, well-being, trust, reciprocity and collective capacity (Cote & Nightingale 2012).…”

This paper explores how an evaluative framework of resilience might be utilised to assess the impact of new digital technologies. This paper outlines key themes and indicators from recent literature on community-level and rural resilience and incorporates insights from work on digital inclusion and rural information and communication technologies to build a framework of rural community resilience. It then highlights a successful case study carried out by the Digital Engagement and Resilience project and describes some of the methodological challenges that can be encountered in cross-cutting evaluative work in a digital economy context. Finally, it contextualises this work in the current policy climate of rural digital agendas to stress the growing need for holistic and critical approaches to 'resilience'.

“…The community as an important societal 'social glue' is a common theme (Gordon, 2004;Morrow, 2005;Van Vugt & Hart, 2004;Witten et al, 2001). Communities are made up of physical, structural and human resources, which along with social, cultural and built assets, create 'community capital' (Callaghan & Colton, 2008). Research following the Canterbury earthquakes found that the neighbourhoods with accumulated community capital, such as strong pre-existing networks and connectedness, were able to participate collectively in post-disaster decision-making and recover equilibrium more quickly (Thornley, Ball, Signal, Lawson-Te Aho, & Rawson, 2013).…”
