“…Often, when looking for a solution, families will look to neighbors first before families who live far away. 35 According to Table 2, there are seven independent variables investigated in this study. All variables, such as: the superstructure, the community participation, the empowerment maturity, the community control in development, the empowerment motive in development, the cadre serving as agent of change, and the involvement of various stakeholders are related to the incidence of stunting.…”

Introduction: The problem of stunting is caused by many factors, including geographical, social, and political problems. The role of social capital has been shown to impact economic development and health in some countries, including the problem of stunting, but has not been widely studied. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of social capital on the incidence of stunting in South Cikarang Sub District, Bekasi Regency. Methods: The type of study is observational with a cross-sectional design. The population had 106 neighborhoods as respondents, with simple random sampling technique, and a total sample of 91 people. The research instrument uses a questionnaire whose validity and reliability have been tested. The independent variables studied were 7 variables. Univariate in the form of frequency distribution, Bivariate analysis using chi square followed by logistic regression to obtain a predictive model using SPSS Version 24. Result: 65.9% of neighborhoods have stunting rates in their area. This figure is still above the government's target. Of the 7 variables studied, all of them are related to the incidence of stunting. Suprastructure variables with p=0.001, community participation with p=0.004, community empowerment in development with p=0.001, community control in development and stunting events with a value of p=0.001, motives of empowerment in development with p=0.004, the existence of cadres as agents of change with p=0.001, involvement of various stakeholders with p=0.001. The most dominant factor is the suprastructure of various stakeholders, with p=0.001. The most dominant factor is the t variable, with OR=49.398 at 95% of CI (3.623–673.6). Predictive models are produced so that preventive efforts are expected to reduce the incidence of stunting. Conclusion: The high incidence of stunting in the neighborhood area shows that the social capital of the community still needs to be improved in handling stunting. Community groups in the neighborhoods that have poor suprastructure will be at risk of their area having a stunting incidence.Keywordsocial capital, stunting, incidence

“…Bonding, bridging, and linking social capital do not work in isolation but rather interact with each other (Azad and Pritchard, 2023). Research suggests that the combination of these three forms strengthens their collective impact, particularly when the social structure provides resources coupled with effective utilization by individuals (Azad and Pritchard, 2023;Cofré -bravo et al, 2019;Craig et al, 2023). As stated by Rustinsyah et al (2021) and Rustinsyah (2015), the synergy between bonding, bridging, and linking not only enhances the resilience of resulting resources but also generates new ones, termed hybrid social capital.…”

“…These roles include assisting farmers in accessing agricultural innovations (Cofrébravo et al, 2019), adapting to climate change (Saptutyningsih et al, 2020), strengthening livelihood systems in the face of vulnerability (Salman et al, 2021), and gaining access to subsidized input supplies (Kos et al, 2023). Other roles include aiding the adaptation to new agricultural knowledge (Slijper et al, 2022), accessing quality seed sources (Zeleke et al, 2023), active participation in irrigation governance (Mahaarcha and Sirisunhirun, 2023), addressing food insecurity during periods of food vulnerability (Craig et al, 2023), borrowing financial capital through cooperatives (Yu et al, 2023), and even serving as a predictor of farmer happiness (Zhang, 2022). However, there has been no specific research analyzing the combination of bonding, bridging, and linking social capital in the agribusiness activities of a specific commodity.…”

The development of the maize agribusiness system is highly dependent on the role of social capital in facilitating interaction among actors in the chain of activities ranging from the provision of farm supplies to marketing. Therefore, this research aimed to characterize the key elements of social capital specifically bonding, bridging, and linking, as well as to demonstrate their respective roles. Data were collected from farmers and non-farmers actors engaged in various activities in the maize agribusiness system. The data obtained were processed using ATLAS Ti, applying open, axial, and selective coding techniques. The results showed the roles played by bonding, bridging, and linking social capital in the interaction between farmers and multiple actors in activities such as providing farm supplies, farming production, harvesting, post-harvest, and marketing. The combination of these social capital forms acted as the glue and wires that facilitated access to resources, collective decision-making, and reduced transaction costs. These results have theoretical implications, suggesting that bonding, bridging, and linking should be combined with the appropriate role composition for each activity in the agribusiness system.
