Abstract

Current social capital theory development is focused on community, although several studies have shown that relationships can hinder creativity and confine people within their networks. This research contributes to the current literature by offering a rigorous theoretical description and critique of social capital discourse. Furthermore, it provides a different perspective on social capital as a tool for analyzing community development. The research aimed to identify if there are close social ties in the Penglipuran village community that support a common goal and if the government and traditional elders involve village communities in a development context. The unit of analysis is the community of the tourism village of Penglipuran, Bali, which was included in the Top 100 World Sustainable Destinations. A qualitative approach with a case study was used for data collection and analysis, while information was obtained through observations and semi-structured interviews. The results found that the indigenous people of Penglipuran have substantial social capital in supporting the development of the community. The people hold regular formal meetings and are willing to help government and non-government groups with education, training, and village development grants. Therefore, this research impacts local government policies to maintain Penglipuran’s social capital sustainability with community empowerment programs and human resource development.
