| Abstract | |
| This paper proposes a way to evaluate the ability of exchanging goods and/or services via community currencies by introducing a method to analyze the reciprocity of communities based ona fuzzy network analysis. These currencies are expected to reinforce various social communities that face difficulties due to the attenuation of human relation, and dramatically spread over to resolve these difficulties. Community currencies circulate in particular areas or communities and are expected to enhance social capitals. The significance of reciprocity in a community is discussed which is used to evaluate the community where the nonadditivity of the evaluation measures reflects the nonadditivity of relationships among community members and/or members’activities. That is, we use a fuzzy measure to analyze the reciprocity based on the fuzzy network analysis which provides us with a certain guideline for the emergence of interpersonal relationally among members in a community. | |
