Abstract

Koncept socijalnog kapitala relativno nov predmet istraživanja u društvenim znanostima, ali izrazito je privlačan zbog novog pristupa proučavanju razvoja društva sa socio-kulturološke perspektive. Strukturna dimenzija socijalnog kapitala pojavom interneta i digitalizacijom interakcije doživljava svojevrsnu transformaciju i to je proces zanimljiv za istraživanje zbog razmjera korištenja interneta u svijetu. Cilj rada je sažeti relevantna istraživanja o utjecaju internetskih društvenih mreža na socijalni kapital i političko sudjelovanje s naglaskom na istraživanja provedena u Hrvatskoj te dati teorijski uvid u koncepte socijalnog kapitala i internetskih društvenih mreža. Analiza literature je pokazala da je odnos između ovih koncepta izvan Hrvatske, posebice u SAD-u znatno više istražen, dok su u Hrvatskoj do sad provedena samo dva istraživanja.

Abstract (english)

The concept of social capital is a relatively new subject in social sciences, but it is extremely attractive because of its new approach to development of society with a socio-cultural perspective. The structural dimension of social capital is experiencing a kind of transformation through the emergence of the Internet and digitalization of interaction and this is an interesting process for research considering the scope of Internet usage in the world. The aim of the paper is to summarize relevant research on the impact of social networks sites on social capital and political participation with an emphasis on research conducted in Croatia, and to provide theoretical insight into the concepts of social capital and internet social networks. Literature analysis has shown that the relationship between these concepts is much more explored outside Croatia, particularly in the US, while only two studies have been conducted in Croatia so far.
