The endogenous development approach argues that capital accumulation is a key process in economic growth. The ability to carry out selfdevelopment and mobilize economic potential is a characteristic of the idea of endogenous development. Based on the literature, social innovation is related to neo-endogenous growth. Social innovation depends on the process of increasing awareness, mobilization, and learning. One form of social innovation is community development. Asset Based Community Development is one approach to community development that states that as an alternative approach, its appeal lies in its premise that communities can drive their own development process by identifying and mobilizing existing assets by responding to and creating local economic opportunities.
