Abstract
This research aims to contribute to and provide more insights on the topic of community resilience by answering the following central question: “In what way do side activities have impact on the social capital, as part of community resilience, of communities in rural areas?” Within a quantitative method, residents of villages in the province of Drenthe were asked to fill in a questionnaire survey. They were asked about their perception of the contribution of side activities to the social capital of their place of residence. The data show that the resident´s perception is that side activities do contribute to the social capital of rural areas. Side activities have impact on the social relations of people within the community. They also have impact on the communication between the residents. So, according to respondent’s perception, side activities stimulate social interaction and communication and thereby contribute to the social capital of rural areas.
