Social nets in local community
Local communities are regarded as the important elements of a socio-territorial structure of society. The author uses a network analysis to study local communities, i.e. through localizing social interactions between inhabitants within a community. Such approach allows identifying the actual community boundaries as well as describing a community’s present life and its prospects for further being - to survive as a community or to die. The paper presents the case-study on social nets existing in the local community of Akademgorodok (the academic and research campus) in Novosibirsk City.
