ANALIZA COEZIUNII SOCIALE DIN REPUBLICA MOLDOVA PRIN PRISMA DINAMICII ÎNCREDERII ÎN INSTITUȚII
(CEP USM, 2024) Mocanu, Victor; Mocanu, Ion
This article examines the dynamics of social trust in the Republic of Moldova, focusing on the interaction between dispositional factors and the social environment. Survey data provided by the Institute of Public Policy reveals that trust in institutions and perceptions of the country’s development direction have undergone significant fluctuations in recent years. On one hand, trust is influenced by dispositional factors such as local culture and collective values. On the other hand, the social environment is strongly shaped by political, economic, and social conditions, making it susceptible to changes within a relatively short timeframe. The authors recommend the development of an integrated analytical model and the promotion of transparency, institutional accountability, and civic engagement to strengthen trust and social cohesion in the Republic of Moldova.
Consolidarea rezilienței sociale prin valorificarea capitalului uman: perspective regionale și naționale. desfășurarea cercetării în focus-grupuri
(Editura USM, 2024) Mocanu, Ion
The research presents the results obtained after conducting 9 focus groups in urban and rural locali-ties in the Republic of Moldova on the subject of social resilience and human capital. The study investigates the role of individual and community resources, educational attainment, health, civic engagement, and social networks in fostering resilience. The respondents gave their opinion on the major concerns and problems faced by the citizens of the Republic of Moldova, both at the local and regional level. Most respondents highlighted the importance of continuing education and training to improve the knowledge level of the community. Several responses emphasize the importance of returning young people to the community to contribute to its develop-ment. There is an urgent need for reforms in the health system to improve the health status of the population. From the answers received, the idea emerges that access to the top of the social hierarchy is closely related to political and social connections. There are localities where people are active and involved in solving commu-nity problems, and others where this involvement is less or even absent. We also aimed to research the common factors for the investigated localities that contribute to the population's resistance to social stress and crisis situations.

It also explores the specific context of the Republic of Moldova, considering factors such as democratic transition, the role of technology, and the impact of economic and social barriers. Through qualitative methods, the study aims to provide insights into how civic participation contributes to social resilience and identifies key chal-lenges and opportunities within the Republic of Moldova’s context.
