Abstract: This study explores how social capital is formed and utilized in transmigrant communities on Halmahera Island, Indonesia, and examines the role of management synergies in enhancing community resilience and sustainable development. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, and participant observation. The findings reveal that bonding social capital within ethnic groups fosters trust and mutual support, though it can limit interaction with local communities. Bridging social capital, while less developed, is crucial for cross-group cooperation. Additionally, management synergies—through coordinated efforts among community leaders, local governments, and NGOs—enhance resource mobilization and the implementation of development projects. Leadership plays a key role in these synergies, facilitating collaboration and inclusive decision-making. The study highlights the mutually reinforcing interaction between social capital and management synergies, which contributes to the long-term sustainability of transmigrant communities.
