CLAUDIA P. MOTTA, VG  and  MARTA L. TOSTES, V.. Methodology based on a network approach and the use of the Gephi software: The case of AIDER in strengthening social capital for the Community Forest Management in the basin of Aguaytía, Ucayali, Perú.

The research methodology collects qualitative information (interviews and observation) and uses Gephi, a free software, for the construction and analysis of the organizations’ network around CFM in a district in the Peruvian jungle. The case of study is the project of social capital from AIDER in order to improve the Community Forest Management in the basin of Aguaytía. This analysis suggests measuring a qualitative concept such as social capital and gives as a result the role played by this NGO and a baseline for the social capital project.
