Research Findings on Social Capital and Matters in Brasov Community. A Secondary Analysis Approach

Abstract

The aim of this article is to present new research findings regarding sustainable development projects in Brasov County, depending on the social matters and social capital. The method used is a secondary analysis of data collected in a 2009 survey carried out on 3960 persons, representative for Brasov County. This new approach manages to reveal a classification of the Brasov County localities according to the social capital typology (bonding or bridging) and according to the identified social matters’ categories. The data indicates new perspectives on the two types of social capital and on their relation to social matters, representing guidelines for future research.
