Research Abstract

This study attempted to appraise the process that community-based organizations aimed towards regeneration of a depopulating rural community has grown and increased their importance within the community, using a social network approach. It employed an approach that combined the established methods of Name Generator and Resource Generator to measure social capital, and estimated the importance of the organizations in terms of the extent to which their members provided resources to the community. The result showed that the members of the organizations were significantly more relied upon as resource providers compared to nonmembers, and the number of years they lived in the community or the fact that they were born somewhere else did not affect their ability to provide resources for others. This might suggest that those organizations could be useful vehicles for those who moved in from other areas to acquired trust and respect within the community and become integrated.
