Connection between Intangible and Territorial Capital

Abstract

Capital assets are important resources for economic activity. Experts from different scientific fields have been dealing with creating new capital forms since the 1980's. The less measurable, so called intangible capital assets can be widely observed on a large scale. The author of the study focuses on the separation of non-physichal capital forms on individual and collective level, the transformation process of capital assets and the intersections between intangible and territorial capital. The main purpose of the study is to create a model that helps understanding the existing capital forms better and to define the intersection point between immaterial and territorial elements. In the study the author takes different concepts of capital assets over fields, like economy, sociology, and psychology to give a more complex picture of the analysed questions. In the essay the author is dealing with redefinition of tightness, too, and the imporance of intangible capital in the development process of a country or a region is being stressed by new models.
