中文摘要：

高水平的社会资本是生态、社会与经济职责和谐过程的先决条件，社会资本在可持续发展领域的作用已引起了全社会的广泛关注。社会资本测量作为理解其作用机制的前提与基础，一直是学术界关注的焦点。然而，在实践中，由于缺乏统一的测量工具，对于社会资本结构性成分系统解耦、社会资本在地区间比较、社会资本精确理解等都存在困难。本文从确定社会资本的基本维度出发，分析了社会资本测量中存在的问题，发现当前主要从社会资本的网络、信任及规范三个基本成分、个体与集体两个分析层次出发寻求替代指标对社会资本进行测量，存在测量工具缺乏系统性、替代指标缺乏普适性、分析尺度转换缺乏有效性、社会资本成分与其影响结果的测量混淆等问题。为了更好地理解社会资本及其作用机制，本文提出应从确认社会资本的主要维度开始，建立系统的测量框架、采用多样化的研究方法、选择功能等同的测量工具等入手进行社会资本测量。

英文摘要：

High social capital is the prerequisite in the process in which ecological duty, social duty and economic duty are harmonized. Now, the impact of social capital on sustainable development has attracte dincreasing interest. As the premise and foundation for understanding social capital＇ s mechanism of action, social capital t has been the focus of the academics However, being short of the unified measurement tool in practice, there are some problems in systemically decoupling structural component of social capital, comparing social capital in the regions and precisely understanding the impact of social capital on sustainable development. From the main dimension of social capital, the problem of social capital measurement is analyzed, and it is found that social capital is measured by three basic components （ trust, norm and the net） and two analysis levels （the individual and the collective）, but the measuring tool lacks systematicness, the proxy index lacks universality, the analysis scale transformation lacks significance, and the measurement of social capital components and its result are mixed up. In order to understand social capital and its mechanism, it is pointed out that we should begin from verifying the main dimension of social capital, constructa systematic measurement framework, adopt the diversified research methods and select measuring instruments with the equate function to measure social capital.
