Yes / The concept of sustainable development implies that social, economic and
environmental objectives should be delivered together, and that they can be achieved
through enhanced community participation. The concept of social capital indicates
how these objectives interrelate, implying that community involvement enhances trust
and reciprocity, thus promoting better governance and greater prosperity. This paper
draws on a survey of Community Waste Projects to explore how these concepts can
inform investigations of community projects. It argues that the concepts provide
useful guides to research and debate, but highlights the resource requirements of
empirically confirming the claims of the social capital perspective.
