摘要：Social capital is a network of associations linked the man to the other members of society. This attachment is necessary to move individuals and society further to the path of economic prosperity and sustainable development. The present study explored the relationship between social capital and sustainable development. The effect of both sources and consequences of social capital has been investigated with the improved community's quality of life. The cross-sectional survey study is performed. The data was collected from 452 respondents residing in the rural areas of Punjab by using an interview schedule. The responses of the respondents were recorded on a five-point Likert scale. The descriptive analysis showed that bonding and bridging social ties were adequate, whereas linking social ties was low among communities. The levels of immediate relatives and neighborhood trust were also sufficient. The institutional trust was lower among the community dwellers. Among the consequences of social capital, participation and committees' performance were adequate. The multiple regression analysis showed that the different aspects of social capital are responsible for an overall 47% variation in the community's quality of life. Among the beta values of each element of the social capital, the social ties have a minimal beta value of .19, and committees' performance has a maximum beta value of .42 for improvement in the community's quality of life. So, it can be concluded that the rich stock of linking social links results in greater participation and better committees performance leads toward improved quality of life in the community.
