“…It tends to see the division or distribution of responsibilities and authorities between the government and local communities in managing resources. Social capital in this theme is to measure the level of community participation to be actively involved [21] . In addition to these trending themes, research themes that have been rarely studied but still considered essential and relevant include coastal protection, environmental, climate change, and other topics, including network governance.…”

This article analyzes the trend of publications related to social capital with governance. This study used bibliometric analysis with the data source coming from the research database, called Scopus. The analytical tool used was Vosviewer analysis software. Vosviewer assisted the process of determining the calculated weights and selection of relevant published documents. The findings of this study indicated that the concept of social capital was to analyze proper governance systems by assessing aspects of networking, collaboration, and trust in the relationship between the private sector, the community, and the government. Several new topics in research publications have been experiencing a reasonably good trend that is rarely studied, including conflict resolution and co-management. These two themes are relatively new, especially in social capital. In addition to these themes, general themes in research publications were found, including coastal protection, environmental, climate change, and network governance. These themes are rarely published but still considered important in influencing other research publication trends to date. The contribution of this research is deemed critical to the development of research on social capital with governance systems. A bibliometric analysis approach in this study can influence subsequent studies in compiling and shaping the contribution position.

“…These elements can be understood via 'structural' and 'cognitive' features, and can be scoped at various levels of observation unit such as micro (i.e., individual), meso (i.e., community), and macro (i.e., regional or national) (Castiglione et al, 2008). While social networks refer to the structural (objective in nature) aspect of social capital, trust and norms represent the cognitive (subjective and intangible) features (Rahman et al, 2021). Both the elements and features of social capital are generalized by using three distinct descriptors: bonding, bridging, and linking social capital (Putnam, 2000;Woolcock, 2000).…”

“…Generally understood as the connections among individuals or groups, the concept of social capital permeates various structural and cognitive features (networks, norms and values, trust, etc.) that influence horizontal and vertical cooperation (Castiglione et al, 2008;OECD, 2001;Putman, 2000). Social capital has been considered as an important inclusion to analyze social impacts in tourism destinations (Moscardo, 2012;Mura & Tabakoli, 2014;Ooi et al, 2015;Rahman et al, 2021). In that, the presence of strong social capital is believed to facilitate cooperation in actualizing opportunities while weak social capital is supposed to instigate conflicts among destination communities.…”

“…Thus, social capital becomes a useful metaphor to explain and manifest development phenomena at a local or destination level (Jóhannesson et al, 2003). Within the growing consideration for social aspects in tourism, social capital has been emphasized with a call for understanding from different contexts, especially from non-western contexts (Mura & Tabakoli, 2014;Moscardo et al, 2017;Rahman et al, 2021).…”

There has been a growing emphasis on understanding the nexus between tourism and social capital from different contexts. This study aims to develop an in-depth understanding of the influence of social capital on tourism development from a peripheral destination context of the Sundarbans, Bangladesh. In this vein, a qualitative case study approach was adopted to gather empirical evidence primarily through qualitative semi-structured interviews with relevant stakeholders. Thematic analysis was adopted to interpret the gathered data. Findings of the study reflect that bridging and linking capitals play a critical role in community-involved tourism development in the Sundarbans. Furthermore, the study reveals that the absence of trust and misuse of power can threaten tourism development in the observed context. This study contributes to the broader literature of tourism-social capital nexus and extends our current understanding in reference to a developing country's peripheral destinations.
