“…One form of community control in the development is that residents are involved in planning the development of their area without experiencing obstacles/constraints. 10 The implementation of development planning must be based on the basic principles of regional development, namely from, by and for the regional community itself. Therefore, the community must be capable of identifying and resolving all the existing problems in the area, as well as exploring its potential for further utilization in development activities.…”

“…The relationship between social capital and health has received extensive attention in fields such as public health, medicine, epidemiology, gerontology, and other health-related disciplines. 22 Another study from Luong et al, 23 shows that the effect of social capital during a pandemic remains temporarily stable (multiplication effect) despite pandemic restrictions. Both social capital constructs remained consistent and stable between genders before and during the pandemic.…”

“…Many journals use a social capital approach to understanding individual and group differences. 10 More broadly, it is explained that successful public policy design needs to take into account the impact of policies on the formation of social capital. 11 Disruption of social capital, such as lack of concern, beliefs, and norms, will cause many health problems, including stunting in children.…”

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

We use data on Italian road accidents involving pedestrians in the period 2000–2016 to study the link between social capital and the driver’s decision to flee. Running away is a serious crime which affects the victim’s probability to survive after the accident. We merge detailed police records on road accidents with data on social capital at the province level and find a strong negative correlation between social capital and the decision to run away. The analysis is in line with previous studies suggesting that social capital is an important driver of human behaviour even in situations characterized by strict time constraints and dramatic psychological conditions.
