Abstract
The research presented here focuses on the relationships among environmental activism, place attachment, and social capital. Survey and interview responses were used to interrogate the connections among these factors in the contexts of two Indianapolis, Indiana, USA neighborhoods: Martindale-Brightwood and West Indianapolis. One of the key topics was to assess differences in activism between respondents living in the two areas and to determine if there are corresponding differences in place attachment and social capital among residents. The results provide insights as to which variables differ most strongly between the two study areas and the relative role of place and social capital in either fostering or stifling activism in response to environmental injustice.
