Sociologijsko poimanje socijalnog kapitala: istraživanje stambenih transformacija

Istraživanjem stambenih transformacija na 10 postotnom uzorku stanara četiriju splitskih zgrada, utvrdili smo pretpostavke i uvjete pretvorbe stambenog prostora u dom. Shvaćanje doma kod ispitanika je uvelike određeno osjećajima koje dom kao životni prostor pobuđuje kod svojih stanara. Stoga su osjećaji ugode u najvećoj mjeri potaknuti ugodnim interakcijama s ukućanima što je dodatno poboljšano uređenjem interijera po ukusima ispitanika. Vrijednost doma se ujedno iskazuje kreiranjem pogodnog okruženja za druženja s gostima, bilo prijateljima, rodbinom, susjedima, ili pak poslovnim suradnicima. Na taj način, dom, u obliku adekvatnog okruženja, pruža sve potrebne uvjete za jačanje društvenih veza, koje rezultiraju akumuliranjem socijalnog kapitala.

Having that in mind, pleasant feelings that home invokes are mostly due to pleasant interactions with people of the household, which is further enhanced by the decoration of the interiror, acustomated to one's taste. The value of home is also manifested by creating a suitable environment for accomodating guests, may it be friends, relatives, neighbours, or business associates. Thus, home, viewed as a cosy and suitable environment, ensures all requirements for strenghtening social connections, which results in accumulating social capital. The base presumtion of social capital theory is that social connections and relationships allow individuals to have granted an easier acces to all kinds of resources in the society, by strenghtening their bonds through the feelings of reliability and trustworthiness
