SOSYAL SERMAYENİN BİREYSEL BAĞLARLA KURULMASI VE KORUNMASI

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı sosyal sermayenin bir yatırım veya getiri unsuru olarak değerlendirilmesinde bireyler arası bağların kurulmasını ve bu bağların sürekliliğini sağlayan iki farklı sosyal gücün açıklanmasıdır. Bu amaçla çalışma sosyal sermayeyi mikro bir kavram olarak ele almış ve bireysel getirilerine odaklanmıştır. Bu sosyal sermaye, ikili ilişkilerden meydana gelmekte, ikili ilişkiler ise bireyler arasında bir bağın kurulmasıyla elde edilmektedir.

Çalışmada ilk olarak bağ, ilişki, ağ ve sosyal sermaye kavramlarının birbirleriyle ilgisine değinilmektedir. İkinci olarak sosyal ilişkilerde adeta bir mıknatıs görevi gören ve bireylerin bağ kurmasını kolaylaştıran türdeşlik kavramı açıklanmaktadır. Aynı zamanda bağların sürekliliğini sağlayarak sosyal sermaye olarak kabul edilmesine sebep olan karşılıklılık kavramı irdelenmektedir.
