A Study On The Cultivation Of Trust-based Social Capital In Post-unit Community Self-organization

With the rapid development of society,the original unit-based community has evolved into a "post-unit-based community" and the community governance environment has changed.In order to ensure the function of post-unit communities,it is important to tap and cultivate community building talents,promote the formation of community self-organization and increase the stock of community social capital,in addition to the leading role of the government.Social work,as one of the subjects of multi-governance,plays an important role in the innovation of social governance,so it has become an important topic of research to use professional methods to intervene in the cultivation of community self-organization.At present,there are many studies on the capacity building and cultivation process of community self-organization,but there are few studies on how to form trust-based social capital within self-organization.In view of this,the practical experience of cultivating trust-based social capital in post-unit community self-organizations is important for increasing social capital and social work practice within organizations.This study takes the process of nurturing XY self-organisation in community D as an example,and adopts a qualitative research method,using participant observation and semi-structured interviews with community committee staff,social workers and community self-organisation members.The study explores the process of trust formation in the process of nurturing community self-organisations by social workers,following the process of "identifying competent people-expanding networks-building identity-selecting key groups-establishing group rules and providing incentives-strengthening organisational trust".The process of trust-based social capital formation is explored in the process of community self-organisation by social workers,and finally the path of organisational mobilisation is summarised.After the professional intervention of social work,the cultivation of trust-based social capital of XY self-organization has achieved certain results,which are mainly manifested in two levels: member cultivation and organization building.At the level of member empowerment,members’ awareness of community participation is enhanced,identity-based trust is formed,and members’ participation capacity is fully built;at the level of organization building,trust mechanisms are established,group rules are formed,and social networks are expanded.Meanwhile,by sorting out the research cases,this study also summarizes the experience of cultivating trust-based social capital in post-unit system community self-organization,i.e.,tapping cultivation resources,updating mobilization methods,improving resident participation and constructing trust relationships.Finally,we conclude that the "invisible presence" of unit social capital in post-unit communities is effective in cultivating a self-organized community and the stock of trust-based social capital is a key factor affecting the sustainable mobilization of self-organization.However,there are shortcomings in this incubation,such as the validity of the interview data and the lack of comparative studies with other types of neighborhoods.
