Abstract
In this research, l noted and evaluated a ripple effect of a community bus project in urban fringe area for regional society. So, l analyzed by the concept of social capital because community bus could be a contact point of wayside residents and they could interact. As a result, it was cleared that a community bus has a partial effect for enhancement of regional social capital, especially in terms of trust and norm within the residents. These point hold promise for improvement of efficiency of regional activities. But this result also showed that effectiveness of social capital was determinative and didn't have the function of information propagation and generation of human network.
