Abstract: | To date, the discussion of asset‐based community development strategies has focused on the ways in which tangible assets contribute to the material aspects of life. This paper adopts a different perspective by concentrating on the role of intangible assets, that is, social capital, in community development. Via semi‐structured interviews with users of a resource center's services and leaders of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and a quasi‐governmental organization, the author explores the ways in which social capital helps community redevelopment (especially rehabilitation) in post‐earthquake China. The paper concludes that there is room for NGOs to adopt a bottom‐up approach to community development provided they maintain an apolitical and knowledge‐specific stance. |
