Abstract: Este trabalho analisou o capital social nas comunidades piscatórias da Ilha de Santiago. Os resultados indicam que o estoque de Capital Social é diferente nos Concelhos da Ilha de Santiago sendo que o Concelho do Tarrafal foi o que apresentou maior indice de Capital Social e o Concelho de Ribeira Grande foi o que apresentou menor indice. O Acesso á informação, confiança e ajuda de vizinhos são os pontos negativos que mereceram destaque em praticamente todos os Concelhos da Ilha. Sendo o Capital Social um factor importante no processo de desenvolvimento, deve-se adoptar politicas que possam aumentar o estoque de capital social comunitário propiciando o surgimento de iniciativas colectivas baseadas na cooperação e confiança no sentido de possibilitar o desenvolvimento do país. --------------------------------------------------------------This work analyzed the social capital in the fisheries communities of Santiago's Island.
