  • Abstract

    This study investigates the connection between social capital and resilience by conducting a bibliometric analysis of the relevant literature between 1994 and 2024. Social capital, comprising networks, norms, and beliefs that foster coordination and cooperation, and resilience, which refers to the capacity of individuals and communities to adjust and recuperate from stressors and calamities, are two notions gaining prominence in diverse fields of study. Data from 1697 documents showed a significant increase in annual publications, with an average growth of 17.65%. Scientific articles dominate the document types and demonstrate high research productivity. Principal researchers such as Aldrich DP, Liu Y, and Fraser T have contributed significantly to this field, while journals such as the "International Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction" and "Sustainability (Switzerland)" have become the main sources of publications. The research investigation uncovered themes, such as adaptability, psychological and social resilience, and sustainability, as the main focus areas. The thematic map illustrates that "social capital" and "resilience" are the cornerstone of the research, and the topic trends reveal a substantial level of interest in the pandemic, mental health, and disaster resilience.  Co-occurrence and cocitation networks confirm the pivotal role of social capital in various contexts of resilience and adjustment. This study has benefited greatly from significant international collaborations between countries such as the United States, Europe, and Asia. This study highlights the significance of social capital and resilience in tackling global challenges, including climate change, natural disasters, economic crises, and  COVID-19 pandemic. The practical applications of this research involve the creation of policies and interventions that enhance social networks and the adaptive capabilities of communities. Future research is encouraged to broaden its geographical and socioeconomic range, adopt an interdisciplinary methodology, and involve communities in a participatory manner to enhance the relevance and sustainability of the research outcomes.
