Summary: | As numerous economists and anthropologists underline it, informal organizations are created in the absence of strong formal insitutions or in the case of lack of trustworthiness. Civil structural social capital, as the traditional villages’ governance system in Kabylia, can then be substituted to the governmental structural social capital. This traditionnal organization, based on values such as mutual aid, equality, democracy... promotes the bonding ties wich characterize community relations. Can this situation engender a “relational closure” wich could have a negative impact on territorial dynamics? This research brings into light, with an original survey administrated in Tizi-Ouzou, that it’s not the case.
