Definition: A way of to analyze community and economic development efforts from a systems perspective by identifying the assets in each capital (stock), the types of capital invested (flow), the interaction among the capitals, and the resulting impacts across capitals. (Emery and Flora, 2006: 19)
Emery, E. and Flora, C. (2006) Spiraling-Up: Mapping Community Transformation with Community Capitals Framework. Community Development 37(1): 19-35.
Application: When working in community development, community organizers must identify the strengths within a community and the interaction between different stakeholders, whether that be schools, churches, organizations, individuals and the implications for the community.
Adaptation:An adaptation for this theory would be within a school system, the superintendent must analyze the strengths of each school within the district and also the students within each school and how they progress through the school system.
