What is behind water user satisfaction with irrigation organizations´ performance? An empirical analysis under different water scarcity conditions

The level of satisfaction of individuals within a community sharing a common pool resource is essential to strengthening collective actions. In the case of irrigation water, which is becoming a critical resource due to its declining availability in many regions worldwide, the satisfaction level in Water User Associations (WUAs) is not guaranteed and also varies across individuals within these organizations. This study analyzed the satisfaction of users in WUAs and identified organization- and user-level characteristics associated with it. Using a sample of 393 users of 20 WUAs from the Mediterranean portion of Chile, we performed confirmatory factor analysis, correlational analyses, and multilevel regressions. A composite indicator of user satisfaction showed significant correlations with the positive evaluation of the WUA staff performance, the effectiveness of monitoring and enforcement, and the confidence that other users do not withdraw more water than they are allocated. We also compared users’ satisfaction levels from WUAs facing higher and lower water scarcity problems and found that user satisfaction is significantly higher in the latter case. The results of the multilevel econometric models show that in WUAs under higher water scarcity, user satisfaction is affected by several structural characteristics (water withdrawal mechanism and location along the canal) and users' human and social capital variables (experience, education, and participation in organizations); in contrast, in WUAs with a low level of scarcity, few covariates were significant while unobserved characteristics became more relevant (34 % of total variance explanation). Our study contributes to the existing literature on user satisfaction in community resource management, which could be useful to promote effective and cohesive governance structures as, ultimately, users determine cooperation rates and willingness to participate in WUA actions.

Spatial econometric analysis of the digital divide in Thailand at the sub-district level: Patterns and determinants

This study explores spatial patterns of the digital divide and its determinants at the sub-district level in Thailand, uncovering nuanced patterns often overlooked in the in prior literature. To our knowledge, no studies in the digital divide field have offered such detailed estimations. Based on the Spatially Aware Technology Utilization Model, we constructed a conceptual model tailored to the digital divide's geospatial context in Thailand. Using a spatial econometric approach, we analyzed the 2021 data set on basic household necessities provided by Thailand's Community Development Department. The results show a positive spatial autocorrelation of the household internet access divide (HIAD) across Thailand's sub-districts. This spatial clustering tended to be high–high in the sub-districts located in the northeastern and northern regions, with low–low agglomerations in the central region of Thailand. In addition, the spatial econometric analysis results indicated that the HIAD may be influenced by various factors including demographic, economic, educational, government ICT prioritization, social capital, transportation, and disaster-related variables. This study provides both theoretical and policy implications to enrich geographic knowledge of the digital divide, specifically in the context of developing countries.

Determinant Factor Analysis of Financial Performance of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises with Social Capital as a Moderating Variable During COVID-19 in Aceh, Indonesia

Abstract This study analyzes the problem factors affecting Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) performance with social capital variables. The problems are related to developing MSMEs’ financial and non-financial performance and are considered inseparable from various internal and external influences. This research is a quantitative-qualitative research with primary data. The utilization of questionnaires and interviews as methods for data collection. The data analysis technique used was a statistical analysis based on partial least squares (PLS). The study’s results found that internal and external factors had a significant positive effect on the financial performance of MSMEs. The E-commerce factors and social capital significantly positively affected the financial performance of MSMEs. However, the colonial capital did not strengthen the relationship between internal variables, external, and E-commerce on the financial performance of MSMEs.

Citizen profiles based on social capital in the Spanish fiscal context: Profile development and multivariate consistency analysis

Previous studies have established that social capital plays a significant role in individual tax-related behaviors, including inclinations toward tax evasion and compliance. This study seeks to extend the understanding of tax morale in Spain using data from the Public Opinion and Fiscal Policy Survey (CIS, Study 3332). We use factor analysis with maximum likelihood extraction and Varimax rotation to identify key social capital variables and tax attitudes. We identify profiles based on their social capital and tax compliance using cluster analysis. We will apply hierarchical clustering with Ward's chaining and k-means clustering. The robustness of the resulting profiles will be confirmed by discriminant analysis and a multilayer perceptron neural network, which will look for higher rates of correct classification as an indicator of improved profile consistency. Our findings suggest that identifying Spanish tax citizens' profiles helps analyze social capital in tax policy. After our analysis, we have determined that enhancing the accumulation of social capital variables leads to better tax adherence.

The Role of Social Capital and Technology Adaptation: A Performance Study of Water Supply and Sanitation Managers

This research aims to describe the role of social capital, technology adaptation, and the performance of group administrators at Kpspams in East Java Province. The location of this research was 170 Kpspams throughout the East Java region with reasonable functioning classifications. Kpspams in the East Java region was chosen as the research location because East Java is the province with the highest Kpspams functional status nationally. The time required to collect data is approximately 2 (two) months. The population in this study were Kpspams administrators throughout the East Java region who had an excellent functioning classification totaling 1016. The sampling technique used a probability sampling technique, a proportional random sampling method based on the same proportion for each group, so the sample determined in this study was 170 Kpspams members—East Java region. The research results show that the social capital variable was not able to significantly increase the value of each indicator of the management performance variable but technology adaptation has a significant positive effect on management performance as a consideration in improving management performance and sustainability of Kpspams in East Java Province. The contribution of this research is expected to be an input to overcome a problem that is being faced, especially in the aspect of program success at Kpspams in East Java Province and its development. The advice that can be given in this research is the development of several previous studies with distinctive characteristics not found in previous research, namely giving rise to a new dimension in the form of technological adaptation as a variable in the Kpspams research object.

Spatial Heterogeneity and Subjective Wellbeing: Exploring the Role of Social Capital in Metropolitan Areas Using Multilevel Modelling

The role of social capital, the social networks that influence human wellbeing has been explored by empirical research in the US and Europe, however no study so far has undertaken a systematic investigation of the impact of the various dimensions of social capital in metropolitan areas. Addressing this gap in knowledge can have practical and policy-oriented implications by contributing to more informed decision-making processes in metro areas, better targeted interventions and ultimately an improved quality of life for residents. This study adopts a multi-level modelling approach to investigate life satisfaction and social capital heterogeneity within metropolitan areas in Australia. Our dataset was collected by the Household Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia survey and includes almost 4,000 individual respondents. Our results show that social trust, social engagement and connection, and a psychological sense of community measured at an individual level have a strong positive influence on individual life satisfaction. Conversely negative individual perceptions about neighbourhood criminality and shabbiness are associated with a lower level of life satisfaction. The application of a model using random slope coefficients for social capital variables suggests that most of the spatial heterogeneity between census districts is explained by between-individual (compositional) variations, rather than contextual differences. Only social connection and engagement appeared to have a distinctive contextual influence. These findings confirm the importance of social inclusion in enhancing wellbeing for everyone and may inform social policy on how to promote social networks in urban areas by all levels of government.

Social path assessment and food security status of rural households in Iran

IntroductionFood and nutrition are the most vital needs of human society and its provision lies in the category of food security. The concept of food security is very broad and is determined by the interaction of a range of biological, economic, social, agricultural, and physical factors. The purpose of this study is to investigate the social factors affecting food security among rural households.MethodsThis is quantitative research conducted by survey method. The statistical population included 384 rural households in Shiraz County that were selected by stratified random sampling. Data analysis was performed using SPSS and LISREL software.Results and discussionResults indicated that the values of combined reliability calculated for all three variables studied were >0.7, which implies that research tools have good reliability and validity. The results of structural analysis of social capital and social health variables with food security using confirmatory factor analysis techniques and structural equations showed social capital variable affects food security directly and social health variable has an indirect effect. According to the value of fitness indicators obtained; it was found that the structural equation model of the research variables had a suitable and acceptable fit and the general structure of the research was approved. Hence, the components used in the research were able to estimate food security. Accordingly, by improving the level of social capital and social health, promotion of food security in communities, would be expected.

The Influence of Social Capital and Human Capital on Food Security in Karangpatihan Village, Indonesia

Agriculture is vital to food security because it provides food, clothing, and shelter. Based on the 2022 Indonesian Food Security Index (IKP), Ponorogo Regency is ranked 19th out of 416 districts throughout Indonesia, with a food security score of 86.20. However, there will be a decline in rice production in Ponorogo Regency in 2022. It will, of course, impact the condition of food security in villages, one of which is Karangpatihan Village. Social capital is a fundamental aspect of creating sustainable agricultural development. This concept refers to the beliefs, networks, values, and norms facilitating cooperation and collective action to achieve common goals. The strong trust between farmers is vital to fostering cooperation and strengthening their social networks. A good social network reflects mutually agreed-upon norms for establishing relationships and interacting. This research aims to identify the influence of farmers' social and human capital in supporting food security in Karangpatihan Village. Research data was obtained based on questionnaires from 250 farmers in Karangpatihan Village. The analysis used is structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis, which is used to identify the influence between variables. Based on SEM analysis, there is a positive direct relationship between social capital and food security variables. Meanwhile, the direct relationship between human capital and food security variables is negative.

재난피해 노인의 사회자본, 회복탄력성 및 삶의 질 간의 관계

This study aims to identify the relationships among social capital, resilience and quality of life for older people who experienced disaster. The autoregressive cross-lagged effect model which included social capital variables affecting resilience and quality of life in baseline was conducted with using the data from ‘long-term survey on the change of life of disaster victim(2016~2019)’. Among the total samples of 3,200, 557 individuals aged 65 and older were selected. Results showed that some variables of social capital were significantly associated with resilience and quality of life. In the case of changes in resilience and quality of life from 2017 to 2019, both variables had auto-regressive effects for their owns. However, cross-lagged effects were only significant when the quality of life predicted resilience over time. Based these results, the study suggests policies and services necessary for the elderly to overcome disasters.

Complex waste management in Myanmar: role of the actors, relationships, and social capital

AbstractAdequate waste management is a pressing global problem that undermines sustainability efforts in many countries. Controlling solid waste, recycling, and reducing waste including plastics, are essential policy objectives. This is especially relevant in countries like Myanmar, scoring poorly on waste-related indicators. This paper adopts a holistic system perspective, looking at the formal and the informal sectors’ contribution to waste collection and recycling efforts. By studying waste management in the Bago Township, we investigate the actors’ relationships by identifying bonding mechanisms between the actors. Central in the informal system are medium and larger scrap dealers that not only serve as waste trade intermediaries, but function as banks, social security agents, and fora for information exchange. The study shows that relationships between scrap dealers and waste pickers are regulated by different types of bonding mechanisms contributing to the social capital variables, trust, predictability, transparency and openness. In contrast, a few bonding mechanisms were established by the formal sector actors. It is the formal system that has the mandate to assure waste collection and that the waste is treated appropriately without posing any environmental and health risks. The informal system contributes to impressive levels of circularity, while also supporting livelihoods. Strengths and responsibilities should be adequately recognized and included in the governance arrangements. Identification of a governance system that addresses both formal and the informal sector needs to consider the local context by involving local stakeholders and build on the existing networks, knowledge, and skills.

The Impact of Shared Instructional Leadership and Social Capital on School Effectiveness

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of shared instructional leadership and social capital on school effectiveness according to teacher perceptions. The study was designed in a descriptive relational survey model. The sample of the study consists of 403 teachers working in schools in the Odunpazarı and Tepebaşı districts located in the city center of Eskişehir, Turkey in the 2021-2022 academic year. In the study, “Shared instructional leadership scale,” “Social capital scale” and “School effectiveness scale” were used. In the study, it was found that teachers’ perceptions of shared instructional leadership, social capital, and school effectiveness levels were high. It was determined that shared instructional leadership and social capital variables together had a high and significant relationship with school effectiveness. The relative importance of the predictor variables on school effectiveness are shared instructional leadership and social capital variables, and these variables were found to be significant predictors of school effectiveness. School principals can contribute to the strengthening of social capital and school effectiveness by exhibiting shared instructional leadership behaviors such as focusing on student learning, sharing authority and responsibilities, strong dialogue and cooperation.

The role of intellectual and social capital in funding businesses: a cross-country analysis

ObjetivoEl estudio tiene como objetivo examinar el impacto del capital intelectual y social en la financiación de las empresas.Diseño/metodología/enfoqueUtilizamos modelos de datos de panel de efectos fijos con una muestra de 142 países de los cinco continentes durante el periodo 1998-2018.ResultadosEncontramos que el capital humano (CH), el capital relacional, el capital estructural y el capital social juegan un papel en las decisiones de los inversionistas para financiar un negocio. Encontramos que las decisiones de financiamiento de los inversionistas en los países con bajo índice de desarrollo humano se basan principalmente en la educación, mientras que las de los países con alto índice de desarrollo humano se basan principalmente en el componente de creatividad del CH y en el capital relacional, estructural y social.Limitaciones/implicaciones de la investigaciónSugerimos replicar el estudio utilizando datos a nivel de empresa dentro de cada país. Por otra parte, la búsqueda de nuevos indicadores de capital intelectual y social (aunque nuestra lista de variables es exhaustiva) tanto a nivel de país como de empresa, constituye una vía interesante para futuras investigaciones.Implicaciones prácticasLos países deben prestar atención al capital intelectual y social para fomentar la actividad empresarial. En particular, los países con bajo desarrollo humano deberían fortalecer el CH, como la tasa de matriculación escolar, con una formación empresarial temprana y aumentar las inversiones en investigación y desarrollo, mientras que los países con un alto nivel de desarrollo humano deberían seguir fomentando las alianzas estratégicas, proteger la propiedad intelectual y mantener o aumentar el nivel de confianza en el país.Originalidad/valorEl estudio contribuye a la literatura al ser el primero en explorar tal variedad de variables de capital intelectual y social desde una perspectiva a nivel de país.

Socioeconomic inequalities in depressive symptoms in China: The role of social capital

This cohort study used the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS, 2015–2018) to investigate the effects of socioeconomic status and social capital to the incidence of depressive symptoms among middle-aged and older individuals in China, incorporating a sample size of 9949 participants. Socioeconomic status, social capital and other explanatory variables were collected in 2015, while depressive symptoms were assessed in 2018. Basic characteristics and social capital measures were compared between urban and rural residents using the chi-square test. Logistic regression was used to explore the relationship between socioeconomic status, social capital and depressive symptoms, and the Karlson, Holm, and Breen (KHB) method was employed to verify the mediating role of social capital. We reported persistent socioeconomic inequalities in depressive symptoms, with rural residents and the illiterate having 1.45 times and 1.34 times higher odds of depression. We ascertained social capital from both the cognitive and structural constructs, where we enriched the measurement of structural social capital from three specific dimensions, i.e., informal interaction, altruism, and formal social participation. We found that both cognitive and structural social capital were associated with lower incidence of depressive symptoms, where informal interaction had the largest effect. The mediation analysis further illustrated that informal interaction contributed most to explain 6 %–12 % of the socioeconomic inequalities in depressive symptoms. These results highlighted the unsatisfied mental wellbeing of the vulnerable older people living in rural areas. The finding suggested that older people may benefit more from personal interactions than formal participations. To fulfill the Health in All vision, government and social organizations should consider how to create opportunities to better integrate the older people into the community.

A comprehensive sustainable development framework; community capitals and village-cooperative initiative.

Considering the cooperative sector capabilities in organizing rural people, primarily focusing on empowering manpower and adopting a sustainable approach to basic resources (water and soil), village-cooperative initiative has emerged as a new concept by registering and forming 4565 new cooperatives in Iran's rural regions. The present research which was conducted in two qualitative and quantitative phases designed a new model by integrating the new village-cooperative approach along with the sustainable livelihood's framework theory. The study sample of the qualitative phase included 32 theorists of the village-cooperative initiative. To analyze the data, the grounded theory and three-step process of open coding, axial coding and selective coding were used using MAXqda18 software. Finally, a paradigm model was designed whose most important components included causal conditions (shocks and seasonal conditions), contextual conditions (trends and governmental support), intervening conditions (control and market development), central categories (sustainable livelihoods with a village- cooperative approach), strategies (coping and adaptation) and consequences (creating jobs, establishing cooperatives, supporting smart agriculture and strengthening social capital). The statistical quantitative phase population consisted of cooperatives members in the village-cooperative initiative (N=405), being selected through Cochran's formula with proportional sampling method summing up to198 people from 5 provinces. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire whose validity and reliability were confirmed. The Bayesian structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data. The results of the research quantitative phase showed that the variables of financial capital, physical capital, social capital, coping and adaptation strategies, human capital and natural capital were the most effective variables on village-cooperative initiative members' sustainable livelihoods, respectively. Finally, a hybrid model based on the qualitative and quantitative studies was designed and suggestions were made; for instance, the creation of suitable grounds for off-farm activities such as rural industries and ecotourism.

Inverse Association Between Mothers' Cognitive Social Capital During Pregnancy and Postpartum Depression: The Japan Environment and Children's Study.

Several studies have reported an apparent inverse association between cognitive social capital and depression in various groups, but insights into this association in perinatal mothers are fairly limited. Therefore, we explored the possible associations between expectant mothers' cognitive social capital (ie, neighborhood trust and reciprocity and generalized trust and reciprocity) and postpartum depression at 1 and 6 months after delivery. As part of an ongoing cohort study, the Japan Environment and Children's Study, cognitive social capital was evaluated using a questionnaire survey during mid-late pregnancy and postpartum depression was assessed using the Japanese version of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale. This study analyzed data from 81,670 mothers. Logistic regression analysis was performed to calculate the odds ratios (ORs) for postpartum depression by the degree of neighborhood and generalized trust and reciprocity (high, relatively high, neutral, relatively low, and low) using the high category as a reference. Regardless of the measurement time point, prevalence gradually increased as the degree of neighborhood trust decreased (all p < 0.001), suggesting a higher likelihood of postpartum depression with less neighborhood trust. A comparable tendency was also observed for the other three variables of cognitive social capital (all p < 0.001). Moreover, the inverse association of postpartum depression with generalized trust and reciprocity was markedly stronger (ORs for low category ≥ 2.70) than that with neighborhood trust and reciprocity (ORs for low category ≤ 1.96). Our findings highlight a statistically significant inverse association between cognitive social capital during pregnancy and postpartum depression at both time points.

Social capital as a moderator of the relationship between violent community environment and psychological distress

ObjectiveTo evaluate the modifying effect of social capital on the relationship between living in violent communities and the presence of psychological distress in adolescents and youth in Mexico. MethodThe analysis of the Social Cohesion Survey for the Prevention of Violence and Crime (ECOPRED, by its acronym in Spanish) was conducted. The analytic sample consisted of 39,639 participants aged 12 to 29 years. Community violence and social capital were measured at the census tract level using the average answers of a household's head sample. These environmental variables were independent of the experiences of the participants. Social capital variables included structural (social ties, recreational participation, collaborative participation, and social cohesion), and cognitive (trust in neighbors) dimensions. Multilevel structural equation models were used. ResultsRecreational participation, collaborative participation, and social cohesion modified the relationship between community environments and psychological distress. In females who lived in places with less recreational participation or less social cohesion, the higher the social disorder, the higher the psychological distress. A similar relationship between vandalism and psychological distress was identified, but only in males who lived in places with less collaborative participation, and in females with less social cohesion. ConclusionsOur results suggest that dimensions of the structural social capital (organization and interest in the community and its members) were the ones that had the buffering effect of the exposure to disordered community environments on psychological distress.

Changes in Municipal-Level Social Capital and Socioeconomic Inequalities in Sports Group Participation and Walking Time Among Older Adults

Background: This study aimed to examine trends in socioeconomic inequalities in sports group participation and daily walking time among older adults in Japan from 2016 to 2019, and to elucidate the association of municipal-level social capital in these trends. Methods: Using data from the Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study across 2 waves (2016 and 2019), this repeated cross-sectional ecological study included 50 municipalities with 102,575 and 94,022 participants, respectively. We investigated inequalities in sports group participation, and daily walking time by income and education, using the slope index of inequality and relative index of inequality with municipal-level social capital variables, such as civic participation, reciprocity, social cohesion, and social network. Results: From 2016 to 2019, all slope index of inequalities showed a decreasing trend (−4.2 to − 0.5), whereas relative index of inequalities maintained or decreased (−0.10 to 0.00). Increases in municipal-level social capital particularly civic participation and social networks with friends were associated with reduced inequalities in both sports group participation and walking time. For example, increased civic participation scores were associated with reduced relative index of inequalities, which assessed inequalities in sports group participation by income (B = −0.13, 95% CI, −0.24 to − 0.03) and in walking time by education (B = −0.06, 95% CI, −0.11 to − 0.01). Conclusions: Enhancements in municipal social capital can reduce socioeconomic inequalities in sports group participation and daily walking among older adults, highlighting the importance of fostering civic participation, social networks, and cohesion in public health strategies aimed at reducing inequalities in sports and walking.

The Effect of Social Capital Relations and Community Participation in the Development of the Bejijong Tourism Village, Indonesia

Tourism is one of the government's leading sectors that contributes significantly to the country's foreign exchange receipts. One of the strategies of the tourism sector to continue to trigger economic growth is to develop sustainable tourism through the Tourism Village program. Tourism village development requires the collective involvement of local communities to ensure the program's sustainability. The availability and utilization of social capital influence community participation in tourism development. This study aims to identify how social capital affects community participation in developing the Bejijong Tourism Village program. The population in this study includes the heads of families of tourism actors, with a total sample of 279 households. The variables used are social capital variables consisting of social networks, trusts, social norms, and participation variables at the implementation stage. The analysis used is the Structural Equation Model (SEM) to determine the constituent factors contributing to each variable, thereby facilitating an understanding of the specific factors that merit attention for improvement and those that should be upheld to optimize tourism performance. The results of the analysis show that social capital significantly influences community participation. The better the social capital in Bejijong Village, the more people will be willing to participate in developing tourism villages. The social capital variable with the highest influence on participation is the trust variable. Therefore, the community must uphold the optimality of factors influencing trust for the sustainability of tourism development.

The Effect of Human Capital, Social Capital, Open Innovation on Tourism Enterprise Performance in Indonesia

Objective: This study aims to analyze tourism business performance influenced by human capital, social capital and open innovation. The problem approach in this research uses a supply-side approach regarding how tourism actors use social networks and innovation to build social capital, which impacts increasing company performance.&#x0D; &#x0D; Theoretical framework: This research analyzes tourism performance after the pandemic by integrating social capital and innovation theories (Shi et al., 2020; Ogink et al., 2023). The concept of tourism enterprise performance has received widespread attention among researchers and management practitioners for two decades, as evidenced by various research papers and concept developments that lead the tourism industry to face problems and changes in tourist expectations regarding human capital readiness, social capital and open innovation. However, There is still much to investigate and learn about. This researcher further tested the social capital approach from the tourism service provider side, which still requires further testing.&#x0D; &#x0D; Method: This research explores the application of human capital, social capital and open innovation to government officials and tourism actors in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Yogyakarta was chosen as the research location because Yogyakarta is the second tourist destination after Bali for tourist visits to Indonesia. The sample used in this research was 353 tourism SMEs. Data was collected through questionnaires distributed directly to tourism managers. The data analysis tool uses PLS-SEM structural equations.&#x0D; &#x0D; Result: The analysis results show that the Tourism Enterprise Performance (TEP) model is acceptable, and not all proposed hypotheses have a significant positive effect.&#x0D; &#x0D; Conclusion: Human capital has a positive influence on social capital, and social capital has a positive influence on open innovation and TEP. However, the influence of social capital on open innovation and the influence of open innovation on Tourism Enterprise Performance are not significant. Future research should analyze several human capital, social capital, open innovation and Tep variables separately for each type of tourist destination. This research can create better generalizations regarding TEP in each tourist destination.&#x0D; Originality/Value: The results indicate that the development of literature on human capital, social capital and open innovation has a substantial impact on tourism business performance and the development of tourism entrepreneurship knowledge
