Social Network Analysis: Principles and Application in Low-Capacity Contexts (original) (raw)

Social Network Analysis (SNA) is a powerful tool for understanding the dynamics of relationships within various contexts, particularly in low-capacity settings where traditional methods may fail. The text discusses the importance of identifying strong and weak ties among individuals, the methodology for measuring these ties, and the implications of network structures for information flow. By exploring alternative approaches and addressing the challenges faced in rural or resource-limited environments, this work aims to enhance the application of SNA to inform development strategies and interventions.
