What term do Bellah et al. use to describe a neighborhood with high social capital that is not actively utilized?

The term used by Bellah et al. to describe a neighborhood characterized by high social capital that is not actively utilized is a "lifestyle enclave." This term refers to communities where residents have the potential for strong social ties and networks but may not actively engage with one another or use the resources available within their neighborhood. The concept highlights the contrast between having the necessary social connections and not leveraging them for communal support, engagement, or action.

In contexts like social work, understanding this term helps practitioners identify neighborhoods that might appear to have the assets for community development or social interaction but, due to various factors, may not be realizing that potential. The identification of such enclaves can guide strategies to mobilize community members and foster stronger ties, thereby turning latent social capital into active engagements. This contrasts with other terms that may describe different aspects or conditions of a community but do not specifically focus on the underutilization of high social capital.
