Abstract

This study analyses the dynamics of the formation of the status of Advanced Villages through the interaction of social capital with the dimensions of settlements, health, education, economy, and ecology in the perspective of the Sociology of Indonesian Rural Development. Using a descriptive-participatory qualitative approach with a case study design in Motaha Village, Anga District, Southeast Sulawesi, the research combines participatory observation, surveys, in-depth interviews, and FGDs, as well as village status mapping based on the Building Village Index (BVI) which includes the Social, Economic, and Environmental Resilience Index. The results of the study show that social capital plays a role as structural capital that strengthens collective participation, settlement quality, access to health and education services, economic diversification, and ecological adaptive capacity. This synergy between dimensions forms relatively advanced village resilience, although there are still challenges of service inequality and environmental governance. Theoretically, this study confirms the integration of social capital in the multidimensional framework of the BVI. Practically, these findings recommend integrated rural policies based on strengthening local social capital as the basis for sustainable and contemporary national structural justice village development planning.
