This study analyzes the social capital of community mobilization cadres in Antapani Sub-district, which serve as intermediaries between the community and the government in meeting the needs of urban communities. The main focus of this study is on the reconstruction of social capital towards the resilience of community mobilizers based on Gender Equity, Disability, and Social Inclusion (GEDSI). This research was conducted using the phenomenological method involving 3 stages of research. The research shows that community activist cadres in Antapani sub-district have social capital that can be reconstructed based on gender equity, disability, and social inclusion. The reconstruction of social capital is trust, social networks, and norms. The study identified a deep need for additional training to improve advocacy skills and regulatory understanding. Gender differences affect how cadres build networks and trust. Empowerment through social inclusion programs and a better understanding of disability are critical to improving cadres effectiveness in serving marginalized groups. Reconstructing social capital with a GEDSI perspective is expected to strengthen the capacity of cadres to address various community needs, improve access, and build better relationships with diverse community groups. The findings highlight the need for a more inclusive and gender-equity-based approach to enhance the role and effectiveness of community cadres.

Conclusion

The study reveals that community mobilizers in Antapani possess social capital that can be reconstructed based on Gender Equity, Disability, and Social Inclusion (GEDSI), encompassing trust, social networks, and norms.Further training is crucial to enhance advocacy skills and regulatory understanding among cadres, as gender differences influence network building and trust.Ultimately, reconstructing social capital through a GEDSI lens is vital for strengthening cadres capacity to address community needs, improve access, and foster relationships with diverse groups.

Future Research

Further research should investigate the specific strategies for effectively integrating GEDSI principles into the training programs for community cadres, moving beyond awareness to practical application. Additionally, a comparative study examining the social capital reconstruction processes in different sub-districts with varying socio-economic contexts could reveal valuable insights into contextual factors influencing success. Finally, longitudinal research is needed to assess the long-term impact of GEDSI-focused social capital reconstruction on the resilience and effectiveness of community cadres, tracking changes in their ability to address evolving community needs and advocate for marginalized groups over time. These studies will contribute to a more nuanced understanding of how to empower community cadres to build inclusive and resilient communities, requiring approximately 180 words to fully explore these avenues of inquiry.
