Abstract

Summary The development of rural areas is a complex social, economic, political and cultural issue of immense importance to the development of society as a whole. The vitality of rural communities, which represent a specific socio-spatial phenomenon, affects the development of global society and is inextricably linked to the development and issues of urban areas of each society. Both in theory and development practice, rural development as a complex and enduring process has long been unjustifiably reduced to the economic-agrarian matrix, often reflected in the modernization of agriculture and the centralized and sectoral management of and influence on rural development. The primary focus of this paper is on the social capital of rural communities, i.e. social relations and connections within local rural communities which, alongside other important development factors, are one of the prerequisites to maintaining their vitality. The paper presents the results of a survey on social capital conducted on 281 farms in the region of Vojvodina (Serbia), indicating the characteristics of the social capital on the farms considered and the farmers’ attitudes towards the development and life of their local communities. The social capital of the surveyed farmers was found to be only relatively good, suggesting that the overall social capital in Serbia is underdeveloped because all the farms considered are located in Vojvodina, i.e. the most developed agricultural area in Serbia characterized by rural settlements with the most favorable infrastructural, demographic and economic conditions.
伏伊伏丁那省农村社区农民的社会资本
农村地区的发展是一个复杂的社会、经济、政治和文化问题,对整个社会的发展至关重要。农村社区的活力是一种特殊的社会空间现象,它影响着全球社会的发展,并与每个社会城市地区的发展和问题有着千丝万缕的联系。在理论和发展实践中,农村发展作为一个复杂而持久的过程,长期以来一直被不合理地归结为经济-土地矩阵,这往往反映在农业现代化和对农村发展的集中和部门管理及其影响上。本文主要关注的是农村社区的社会资本,即当地农村社区内部的社会关系和联系,这与其他重要的发展因素一样,是保持农村社区活力的先决条件之一。本文介绍了对伏伊伏丁那(塞尔维亚)地区281个农场进行的社会资本调查的结果,表明了所考虑的农场社会资本的特征以及农民对当地社区发展和生活的态度。被调查农民的社会资本被发现只是相对较好,这表明塞尔维亚的整体社会资本不发达,因为所有被考虑的农场都位于伏伊伏丁那,即塞尔维亚最发达的农业地区,其特点是农村定居点拥有最有利的基础设施、人口和经济条件。
