Description: This dataset was created to understand the mechanisms through which social capital shaped the community response to the coronavirus pandemic on the island of Menorca, Spain. Data was collected through qualitative interviews of 25 permanent residents of the island between April and June of 2020. The age range of the participants was between 26 to 89 years old. The semi-structured interview guide had questions about pre-pandemic and pandemic emergency response and recovery events. Questions were developed to capture information on different indicators, including emergent forms of social capital, dark sides of social capital and trust.
