摘要:In spite of different definitions of social capital, there is a high level of compliance that social capital, unlike other concepts related to socio-economic development, is unique because it is relational. Resources related to social capital exist inside the network of mutual relations of individuals and groups in a society. Individuals are embedded in the complex network of relations – they are members of immediate and broader family, belong to a certain religious and linguistic group, have ethnic and racial identity and belong to certain locality. Every individual has their own place in a society, and their position in the network of social relations considerably affects access to different resources. Notion of social capital is therefore inextricably linked to social networks and represents a key concept in their analysis. The aim of this paper is to investigate interdependence between social capital and social networks
