Abstract
A survey of older people’s perceptions of their social capital was implemented in Bukit Panjang town, Singapore. Complementing the on-site observation study (Chap. 7), this survey was administered at four different public spaces and elicited information on socio-demographics, neighbourhood connections, social and civic participation, helping behaviour, trust, neighbourhood facilities and problems.
