Social capital in several communities of the Trujillo state and the west of the country.

Abstract

This article discloses the results of the work carried out by several teams of students from the Chair of Sustainable Human Development of the Law career of the Valle del Momboy University, who, applying 300 surveys in the month of October 2022, evaluated some aspects of social capital related to trust and participation. This is an extraordinary work that contributes to the research project on local development that measures the density of social capital, understood as networks of social interaction, participation and the degree of trust in people and institutions, as well as an evaluation of the Agenda 2030 that integrates the SDGs that has been developed for several years. These results were presented at the XXV Conference on Sustainable Human Development organized within the framework of the 25th anniversary of the Valle del Momboy University in October 2022 under the direction and coordination of the Center for Sustainable Human Development with the collaboration of the Department of General Training of the UVM.
