About this book
Reviews
“This book fulfills the purpose of spurring the need for more research on the subject of social factors and their impact on community well-being. … the book is definitely a step towards operationalizing the fluid concept of community well-being by the use of theories such as social capital, human capital, needs theory, and community development. The book should have a wide appeal to researchers, and graduate and undergraduate students in the field of community studies.” (Karim W. F. Youssef, Journal of Community Safety & Well-Being, Vol. 1 (3), November, 2016)
