The Relationship

Abstract Despite considerable investment, sustainability of rural water resources remains a critical challenge in Ethiopia. Evidence suggests social capital – the networks, norms, and trust that facilitate cooperative behaviors – influences a community's ability to manage communal water resources. In turn, strong community governance of water resources may lead to sustainable resource management. Existing evidence provides a framework for exploring the relationship between social capital and governance of common-pool resources. However, there is a dearth of quantifiable evidence demonstrating the relationship between social capital, collaborative governance, and, in turn, sustainability of communal water resources. In 32 communities in rural Ethiopia, we employed a validated survey tool, developed by the World Bank, to quantify social capital and explore these relationships. We found associations between governance and several social capital domains: groups and networks, trust and solidarity, and information and communication. All governance indicators were associated with functionality. Identifying domains of social capital that influence governance can inform institutional efforts to target community-based water resource programming, foster social capital to improve water point sustainability, and diagnose issues related to resource management. Additional research examining the influence and directionality of social capital and other social constructs on water resource governance and functionality is warranted.

Recently, water supplies have been insufficient in some areas. In South Korea, using dualism and Jeongish citizenship, we will demonstrate why collaborative governance of the Daegu–Gumi Water Commission has not worked and how it has been mismanaged by its stakeholders. We discuss the conflict between the Daegu Metropolitan City (hereafter referred to as City of Daegu) and the City of Gumi regarding the relocation of the water intake source. In response to many water pollution accidents, the City of Daegu decided to move the water intake source to near the City of Gumi. Due to a conflict between the cities on this issue, the city established a collaborative governance entity, the Daegu–Gumi Water Commission. However, this form of governance was not successful, and eventually, the Daegu–Gumi Water Commission moved from collaborative governance to hegemonic governance. This was due to dualism and Jeongish citizenship with weak membership, participation, experience, and social capital on the local level as South Korean civil societies tend to have insufficient power and experience to fulfill their intentions or negotiate successfully. The Daegu–Gumi Water Commission failed to reach a consensus and to realize a truly collaborative governance process.

History Of

Environmental collaborative governance arrangements have the potential to build social capital, leading to long-term cooperation among parties with a history of conflict over water use, in particular in irrigation, hydropower production and riverine wildlife habitat. Previous research on social capital in the context of collaborative governance has emphasized small-scale grassroots initiatives where actors hold common membership in civic associations. This study explores a large-scale policy level collaborative arrangement as a case of collective action facilitated by elements of social capital, with a special emphasis on the concept of the institution as social capital. The Platte River Recovery Implementation Program is the basis for initial findings that social capital formation and cooperative implementation of innovative approaches to water policy can occur at both the local action and large-scale policy levels of collaboration.

The covid-19 pandemic that has hit the world and Indonesia in particular is not only about the number of people exposd to the virus, but its impact on the economic life of society and the country. The slowdown in various economic activities, the business world, trade and various elements driving the real economy have led to a potential decline in the per capita income of the Indonesian population. This is what is felt by the people of the suburbs at the Rawabebek rusunawa DKI Jakarta who really depend on micro-enterprises for their living. They have experienced a decrease in income since the COVID-19 pandemic so they have limitations in meeting the needs of daily life. For this reason, sustainable community empowerment efforts are needed through aapproach Collaborative Governance. The purpose of this study is to analyze empowerment programs that have been carried out for communities affected by the COVID-19 pandemic through collaborative governance. This study uses a qualitative approach to the type of phenomenological research. The results showed that the collaboration process in empowering the relocation community at the Rawabebek flats only touched on the instrumental aspects and had not touched the substantial aspects. The collaborative process in empowering relocation communities should be based on social capital.capital Socialis capital that can be used as the driving force in empowerment. Social capital provides support to the community to take action together and reciprocally. Social capital is an alternative form of modality that is beneficial for the community to obtain both economic and social benefits.
