Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of social capital on the life satisfaction of the community residents. For the research, social capital was consisted of participation, network, trust and norm. To achieve the purpose of this research, data were collected from 279 citizens of S-city in Gangwon-Do. The results of this study were summarized as follows: Mean analyses showed that social capital had $3.02{\pm}.52$. According to hierarchical multiple-regression, participation(${\beta}$=.26, p<.001), network(${\beta}$=.17, p<.01) and trust(${\beta}$=.16, p<.01) among social capital showed positive influence on life satisfaction of community residents(R2=.35). This study finally discussed theoretical implications for future study and practical implications on the results.

본 연구는 강원도 소재의 S시 주민을 대상으로 지역사회의 사회자본 수준이 주민의 생활만족도에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고자 실시한 것으로 지역주민 279명을 대상으로 구조화된 설문조사를 실시하고 자료를 분석하였다. 지역 사회 수준의 사회자본은 참여와 네트워크, 신뢰 및 규범으로 구성하였다. 연구결과 사회자본은 평균평점 $3.02{\pm}.52$로 나타났으며, 지역주민의 생활만족도에 미치는 영향에 관한 회귀분석 결과 사회자본의 참여(${\beta}$=.26, p<.001)와 네트워크(${\beta}$=.17, p<.01) 그리고 신뢰(${\beta}$=.16, p<.01)가 생활만족도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다(R2=.35). 이러한 연구결과를 통해 사회자본의 구성요소인 참여와 신뢰 그리고 네트워크가 높을수록 지역주민의 생활만족도가 높아짐을 알 수 있고 이를 바탕으로 사회자본 형성을 위한 실천적 함의를 제시하였다.
