| Summary: | This applied study integrates both, social
science and hard science in community development.
Community capital inventory mapping assisted with GIS
application is a way forward to hasten the Orang Asli
(indigenous people) community development programme
planning. Backwardness is always associated with this
minority. There are many reasons for this, and one of them may contribute by the unmatched between community’s
need and capability of the development program. This
study aims at identifying and locating the community
capital among the Orang Asli. A total of nine villages
and 773 Orang Asli involved in this pioneer study. The
study comprised three phases; phase 1 is about a social
survey; phase 2 is tracking location in digital map (hard
science component); and phase 3 is the integration process
between soft science (primary data from the social survey)
and hard science to develop the community capital digital
map. This paper discusses the process of community
capital inventory mapping. |
