Abstract
Social capital and rural governance are central elements in the evaluation of development projects based on the neo-endogenous approach to local development. The aim of this chapter is to measure both quantitatively and qualitatively the endowment of social capital in the Prealpi Dolomiti and Bassa Padovana LAGs in Veneto. The analysis shows that a consolidated partnership history, focused on the capacity of the LAG in bridging between stakeholders and the local governance system, and combined with the effective and efficient delivery of high-quality projects, concurred to increase the levels of social capital in the two LAGs.

As described in Part III, it was useful to normalise the values of indicators for aggregation and comparison. In this chapter, the values of the indicators have not been normalised, unless otherwise stated. Also the values of the indicators are expressed as a (1) percentage or (2) range. Various ranges have been used in the study depending on the indicator. In the chapter, the range will usually vary from 1 to 4, unless otherwise specified.
