Using the Community Capitals Framework as a post-hoc analysis tool to detect the community capitals contributing to the SEATS project at its onset, development, and implementation, I focus on the stocks and flows of the community capitals – what people said was in place that made success possible - and what investments of capitals (flows) occurred during the process.
First, before we get into the example of SEATS, let’s take a look at what capital means and how it is used within the context of the CCF.
Decapitalization – resources can lose their value when one type of capital is emphasized over another. ex; Time at work is time away from family Capitals assets can be spent as the folks with industrial park did. They can be hidden under the bid springs and lose value over time which is often true of many assets in natural capital that deteriorate from lack of use. Or, they can be invested in ways that generate assets in other capitals. For instance when utilities invest financial assets in well designed community leadership programs they build assets in human capital, social capital, political capital, and cultural capital that will lead to increased assets in built capital, financial capital, human capital etc.
Helps to strengthen internal and external community relationships, connections, and resources. The Community Capitals Framework (CCF) is a well-known approach that leading experts in the community development field utilize in the work of building community capacity.
Those assets that abide in a location, including resources, amenities and natural beauty. How can natural capital be used? What is the prettiest place in southern Alberta?
What is included in our community’s cultural capital?
Ability to access outside resources
It really is WHO you know? Who knew?
Bonding Social Capital = community cohesion, ties among individuals Bridging Social Capital = ties made between an individual or an organization and another individual or organization for a specific purpose Creativity and innovation occur when both bonding and bridging social capital occur. Mix local wisdom with outside resources, ideas and expertise.
How can we increase social capital in our communities and regions and involve more people, particularly those who have moved to the community, seniors and youths?
What are the ways that political capital can be used to influence community development?
The financial resources available to invest in community capacity building, to underwrite business development, to support civic and social entrepreneurship, and to accumulate wealth for future community development
What are some ways that built capital dictates what kind of community development happens?
