Abstract
ABSTRACT This research aims to identify the factors that influence community capacity as it affects the mobilisation of inner resources and community conflict management for community residents. Data from an on-site survey consisting of self-administered questionnaires were obtained from 339 community residents in rural areas of South Korea. Factor analysis identified four dimensions: problem assessment, leadership, connections and self-help. Education, income, length of residence, as well as participation in agricultural cooperatives, community development organisations and hobby organisations were significant factors in influencing individuals having positive or negative attitudes and abilities associated with community capacity. Conclusions suggest that community development specialists and policymakers should consider these factors to understand individuals participation in community-based organisations in order to build community capacity.
