Research Abstract |
Our results of the research show an alternative approach against the well-known community-based development approach which strengthens the need of organization, while our purpose was to understand the effects of kinship system or social customs on the changes in the localities during economic development in the developing countries. It can be clarified that, in the Philippines, Colombia and South Korea, we re-discover the built-in social networks as the conditions for the emergence of a community in the localities. Only such networks can give the residents feelings of attachment to the locality and common interests among them, which can create a community. This logic is completely different from that of the New Institutional Approach, which states that the economic incentives induce the formation of a community. Our study suggests that community organization through incentive mechanism does not promote efficient community functions and rather does disturb the social networks which give basis for a community. In other words, we show the importance of social scientific re-discovery of built-in community-based resources, which have already exist as the initial conditions in the localities. In the Philippines, the social networks built by kinship-matrimonial relationships contribute to the emergence of a community among the urban poor and the enrichments of their standard of livings. The urban poor in Colombia realize "participation" by employing the town-mates and kinship networks. In South Korea, the share of common culture and historical memories more contribute to the behavioral decision-makings of the families than the economic incentives do. Furthermore, we show that such social networks will create a circulation mechanism of the local resources which can overcome Market Fundamentalism. In the future, we will extend our studies to deepen understanding of a community by developing social network analysis and extending coverage of the scopes as well as the areas.
