Abstract:

This paper introduces Chang’s extent analysis method approach for prioritizing Vietnam’s social capital indicators. Using fuzzy AHP approach helps determine more efficiently importance of social capital indicators, especially deal with imprecise and uncertain human comparison judgments. In the proposed model, six dimensions of social capital are distinguished including bridging, bridging-link, bonding, bonding-link, particular trust and general trust. The results showed that general trust and particular trust nearly contribute the same important weights but the bonding and bonding-link share lesser weights than bridging and bridging-link.
