Subsequently, it focuses on the potential and relevance of social capital in the sustainable development agenda at the community level as reflected in the case of MBS Sleman.
Methods: This study utilizes a qualitative research design using the case study and in-depth interviews with pasentran’s top management, observation, and document research. By adopting a case study method and an interpretative approach to data analysis this study explores the underpinning determinants of successful local level development from socio-economic sustainability perspectives.
