| Abstract |
Social capital refers to social ties, norms, and networks
that facilitate group or individual access to resources. Social
capital has a collective dimension, and its benefits are generally
shared by members of a community. While social capital is
generally recognized as an important means to building
community resilience, it takes on a double-edge character when
applied to real situations. Based on literature review, this paper
elaborates how social capital plays its dual role in the process of
adapting to climate change towards making communities
resilient. Social capital simultaneously strengthens the ability of
the community to survive a disaster and recover, while being a
barrier to democratic principles and policies. |
