“…The social capital argument has gained a greater representation in empirical research that explores environmental concerns and "green" behaviour. There is evidence that social capital and social cohesion help small groups overcome the challenges of managing shared resources and, increase the rate of participation in state programme s (Adge r, 2003;Daniere et al, 2002;Rydin & Pennington, 2000;Jones, 2009).…”

“…There is some, but limited literature linking social capital theory and natural resource management. Enhanced social capital can improve environmental outcomes through decreased costs of collective action, increase in knowledge and information flows, increased cooperation, less resource degradation and depletion, more investment in common lands and water systems, improved monitoring and enforcement [4,25,26,63] . There is a growing interest in social capital and its potential impact for affecting collective action in sustainable renewable natural resource institutions [95,98,103] .…”

Developing countries are facing dilemmas such as un-sustainability, and poverty, (especially rural poverty). Poor people are often seen as compelled to exploit their surrounding for short-term survival and are assumed to be the ones most exposed to natural resources degradation. In order that at the first; we review the extensive theoretical literature on social capital, poverty and sustainability and demonstrate the nuanced treatment these concepts have received in this literature. Problem Statement: Current research and observations indicate that (these dilemmas) un-sustainability and rural poverty are linked. The only feasible way out of current crisis is to integrate resources. The linkage among environment/agriculture, poverty and social capital are complex and in many cases, poorly understood. The developing countries have been criticized for their inability to reduce poverty and contribute to sustainable agricultural development. Approach: there is a need for improving of social capital to integrate environment and people to alleviate poverty and receive to sustainable development. Social capital has come to be defined in a variety of ways, all of which have been linked to collective norms, values and relationships reflecting the involvement of human individuals in a common life based on family and community. Results: This study argue that social capital as a concept has over the last decade or more been gaining significance in relation to a number of linked fields of analyses, including the identification of factors influencing educational attainment, explanations of differing levels of participation, rural development and poverty alleviation. Conclusions/Recommendations: social capital enhancement appears to have direct links with farmer education in that community development is generally defined as a social learning process which serves to empower people and to involve them as citizens in collective activities aimed at socio- economic development, poverty alleviation and sustainable development. At the last, base on World Bank experience we offer these strategies such as promoting opportunity; facilitating empowerment and enhancing security to reduce poverty and to achieve sustainable development

“…This research hypothesizes that a recreation area is more likely to be sustainable and resilient if the area has high levels of social capital because the visitors are more likely to behave in ways that collectively support and enhance the purpose of the recreation area, both inside the area and in the larger community. Previous research efforts surrounding social capital theory have experienced difficulty in measuring the critical components of social capital, such as values, networks and trust (Collier 2002; Daniere et al 2002;Liu and Besser 2003;Narayan and Cassidy 2001). In addition, there have been no efforts to explore practical applications of social capital to recreation management.…”
