2.1 The Dimensions and Domains of Social Cohesion

It is important to understand the core
concepts of Social Cohesion rather than a
fixed definition

THE MICRO/MACRO DICHOTOMY OF SOCIAL COHESION:
1. MICRO: Local Community (Individuals) → Various levels of Social Capital
2. MACRO: Society as a Whole (Structures and Institutions) → Strength of Social
Economy

Weighted and Aggregated Index of Social Cohesion Indicators
Separating social
cohesion into six
dimensions and three
domains (Economic,
Political, and Socio-
cultural) is helpful as it
allows for a more
systematic and
organized way to
measure and identify
social cohesion
indicators

CIT identifies two basic components of communication infrastructure. The
first is the “neighborhood storytelling network” which consists of three key
storytellers:

Fostering the “community action
context” further encourages the
“storytelling network”, enhancing
social cohesion. Further
research suggests that
addressing both elements is not
only a tactic of cohesion
enhancement but can also
directly increase civic
engagement and participation
(Kim, 2006, 173)

In order to foster social cohesion,
the focus must be on preserving

If an Oakland specific survey
be implemented annually, a
meaningful comparison could
be made on the
increase/decrease of social
cohesion. By involving the
community to partake in
collecting data, it would be
an efficient and local use of
resources and create a
greater sense of community

THERE CAN BE NO INCREASING OF
SOCIAL COHESION WITH
GENTRIFICATION
With social cohesion as the focus, it directly fights against
policies of gentrification while simultaneously aiming to
improve both infrastructure and the local economy
With a standardized model, Oakland can be a leader in the
U.S. for this new growing policy approach so many other
institutions are utilizing
