Book Event Modal Sosial (Social Capital) by Sunyoto Usman

The issue of social capital is an issue that has been developing for a long time and is an interesting issue to discuss, because in the sociological analysis in the present it has become a dynamic issue to be discussed again with the contributions of Bordieu and Coleman in the context of social research and development in Indonesia. It is also hoped that this social capital lecture can contribute to the development of studies in UB’s Sociology Department.

Social capital books that speak Indonesian very little. My habit during college gave me 4-5 pages to get me to write. In Korea, Indonesian books are translated into Korean. In Indonesia it actually reverses it. Campus activities are too depleted with campus bureaucracy activities and make sociological knowledge less. The topics of social capital are interdisciplinary, including public health, politics and other social sciences. If we map, the types of capital are many: there is physical capital (eg, forests, oceans, houses, buildings); financial capital (eg: amount of savings in a bank); human capital (eg skills, level of education. Difficult to count, can only be identified through certain indicators). Unlike social capital, it is invisible, it only appears if there is one person who is related to other people. Simple illustration: angkringan traders in the poor village of the Code river, Yogyakarta. There is one house that is occupied by 24 people from the Klaten rural area to become suppliers of snacks with a consignment system, which means that the food sold is only paid to the supplier if the food is sold. The house every day angkringan traders take food for sale, and survive until now (even during the 1998 economic crisis). Sociologically it can be said that there are trusts, reprocity and social networks. This is called social capital.
