Σύνοψη	The Community Belonging Scale measures the subjective psychological sense of community—the feeling that one belongs, is accepted, and is valued within one's community. Distinct from objective measures of networks or participation, it captures the affective experience of community integration. Developed by Seymour Sarason and refined by McMillan and Chavis, it is grounded in community psychology and emphasizes that belonging is fundamental to mental health and social well-being.	The Social Capital Index measures the stock of social connections, networks, and civic participation within an individual's or community's social ecosystem. Rooted in the theoretical work of Pierre Bourdieu and popularized by Robert Putnam, social capital encompasses bonding capital (ties within homogeneous groups), bridging capital (ties across different groups), and linking capital (connections to institutions and power). Comprehensive indices assess networks, trust, organizational membership, volunteering, and informal mutual aid.
