Project Purpose
We will question the impact of social capital formed in societies with strong homogeneity and heterogeneity, and from the perspective of social capital theory, we will work to elucidate the effects of positive and negative externalities that communities have on the achievement of collective goods, the mechanisms necessary to achieve desirable collective goods, and the conditions that determine the urban environment necessary for a "community where homogeneity and heterogeneity are in harmony."
