Hoogland's Comfort Canopy

3.1.4 Farm Union Hoogland and Collaboration
with the Local Associations
Associations have institutionalized social networking
opportunities and improve prosocial behaviours
and social skills. Creating a strong, effective
global network, however, requires strong local bases.
Farm Union Hoogland, which is a fictive organisation
of the Group H1 seeks to promote meaningful
societal change by getting all Hoogland
residents closer together outside the buildings as
shown in Figure 3.1.4.
Social capital is a result of association involvement,
such as trust, norms, and networks (Deth,
Edwards, B˘adescu, Moldavanova, & Woolcock,
2016). The bridging of social capital based on involvement
in heterogeneous networks that reinforce
tolerance, openness, and outer-directedness
is particularly expected to have positive effects.
Bonding social capital in homogeneous networks
reinforces feelings of exclusivity and inner-direction.
