Therefore, in this paper, we use the membership measure simply as a measure of community involvement of the individual, which, quite possibly, is also a partial measure of the individual's social capital.…”

We investigate whether social capital in the form of community involvement affects farmers' choice to use sustainable agricultural practices. Using associational memberships as a measure of community involvement we study its effects on agricultural practices among Georgia farmers. Our findings show that, first, community involvement had a positive effect on the decision to adopt sustainable agricultural practices, and, secondly, it also had a positive effect on the extent to which farmers adopt these practices. These findings establish an additional dimension to the benefits that would accrue to policies that promote social interaction and civic engagement in rural areas.

Fukuyama'ya göre, sosyal sermaye modern ekonomilerin verimli bir şekilde işlemesi için çok önemlidir, ayrıca istikrarlı liberal demokrasiler için de olmazsa olmaz koşuldur (Fukuyama, 1999). Bu anlamda sosyal sermaye ile ekonomik, politik ve sosyal kalkınma arasında doğrusal bir ilişki vardır (Trigilia, 2001: 18).…”

Given the importance of sustainable urban development and quality of life, the problem of informal settlements is now entering a new phase of research and social capital, as an important aspect of the quality of life in such settlements, is being widely explored. Aiming at realizing sustainable development and recovering liveliness in these settlements, the present study seeks to compile social capital factors of the quality of life in informal settlements. The methodology is descriptiveanalytical and the indicators are determined by means of logical argumentation. According to the findings, outstanding indicators of the quality of life in informal settlements turn out to be trust, norm-orientation, as well as network connections in direct evaluation and participation, attitude of voluntariness, social cohesion, sense of security, informal social relations, as well as adherence to values in indirect evaluation. If investigated and improved, these indicators will play a major role in sustainable development.
