“…Regarding its output, the worldwide scholars seem to be optimistic that if used positively (Jackson 2013), doi: 10.17221/144/2014-AGRICECON it can produce both tangible (increased income) and intangible (increased subjective well-being) benefits (Klein 2013). Social capital is regarded as a public good (Castagna et al 2012), and makes the value for communities that offers greater innovation outcomes (Eklinder-Frick et al 2012).…”

Social capital is the spirit of social relations. While it contains social resources, and is interrelated with other forms of capitals, there are some delusions among the scholars over its generation. Th e study was conducted to identify the factors possibly involved in the fl uctuation of social capital, in which the structural social capital, bonding social capital and linking social capital of the water-user associations were measured, and it was linked to various socioeconomic, demographic and farm characteristics of farmers. Th e multiple linear regression analysis revealed that the social capital was significantly infl uenced by the canal water availability, age, the drainage system availability, land holding, the farming experience and the family size. Furthermore, the canal water availability was found the most dominant indicator in relation to social capital to make it dynamic, in the rural Sindh province of Pakistan.

“…Social cohesion was then described as comprising care, cooperation, connectedness, participation and intergenerational contact. Klein (2013) summarises several definitions of social cohesion into some ideas that include the importance of shared values, trust and relationships among members of a society. Klein (2013) also describes social cohesion taking place within and at the same time creating community.…”

Determining Localisation Metrics

2016

Assisting those wanting to explore localisation as a transformative sustainability strategy, this article provides the results of interviews with six localisation experts to determine localisation metrics. The interviews aimed to determine localisation qualities that should be captured for localisation measurement, and/or metrics that might be used to measure these. The shared expert belief and opinion regarding these metrics and qualities was expanded using writings by these and other experts. The formed metric set includes:(1) resource self-reliance; (2) resource dependence; (3) social health; (4) environmental damage/impact; (5) localisation type/governance participation; and (6) control and ownership of resources, land, assets and business. These metrics may be used to determine how localised a community, region, or country is, and to form localisation indexes. This article describes the formation of the metric set, and may assist clarification of localisation understandings by enabling measurement.

“…Wilkinson/Pickett (2009a,b) report that lower inequality in economic living conditions is related to better health and fewer social problems, including mental illness, violence, imprisonment, lack of trust, teenage birth, obesity, drug abuse, and poor educational performance. Several authors also emphasize direct impacts of social capital and social cohesion on individual happiness (Delhey/Kohler 2006;Klein 2013; Bartolini/Bilencini/Sarracini 2013; Becchetti/Massari/Naticchioni 2013). All these studies suggest that happiness judgments are impacted as well by collective and spatial (regional, national or trans-national) factors resulting from the overall distribution of economic welfare and inequality, and that they are directly affected by capabilities, autonomy, and freedom as well as social capital and social cohesion and related concepts.…”
