Abstract

The paper deals with the dimensions of social capital in the Slovak Republic. The aim is to assess how social capital is distributed socially among the citizens of the Slovak Republic and geographically among the regions of the country. Social capital is evaluated on a basis of the three dimensions, where networks, trust and civism belong. The paper analyses the data from the European Values Study survey, especially the 2008 wave. The results of this study show that social capital has kept a decreasing tendency in the Slovak Republic throughout the period from the year 1991 to the year 2008. The reasons behind this may lie in the historical development of the country – the transformation of the economy and the dissolution of the Czech and Slovak Federative Republic. With respect to a social distribution, social capital is generally higher among more educated, right-wing Slovaks with higher earnings. In the terms of a geographical distribution, the Trnava Region and the Trencin Region appear to have less developed social capital compared to the other regions in Slovak Republic.

斯洛伐克共和国社会资本及其区域分布的维度与评价

本文论述了斯洛伐克共和国社会资本的维度。其目的是评估社会资本在斯洛伐克共和国公民中的社会分配以及在该国各地区的地理分配情况。社会资本是基于网络、信任和公民主义三个维度来评估的。本文分析了欧洲价值观研究的调查数据，特别是2008年的浪潮。研究结果表明，从1991年到2008年，斯洛伐克共和国的社会资本一直呈下降趋势。这背后的原因可能在于该国的历史发展——经济转型和捷克和斯洛伐克联邦共和国的解体。就社会分配而言，受教育程度较高、收入较高的右翼斯洛伐克人的社会资本通常较高。就地理分布而言，与斯洛伐克共和国的其他地区相比，特纳瓦地区和特伦辛地区的社会资本似乎不太发达。

期刊介绍： The Italian Sociological Review is as an academic journal for the dissemination of theoretical reflections and results of empirical research on social science, conducted with scientific methodologies and made available to a wider audience. The research results may have an impact on policy-makers, on the processes of formation of the students and the development and integration of theories and paradigms. It is therefore important that the journal maintains a high level of quality and transparency in the process of publication.
