Therefore, the neighborhood community becomes an important study object in order to understand the process of gentrification itself.

Collective action can be viewed as a solution in order to facilitate the common interests of a gentrified community. The aim of this paper is to explain the collective action process in the context of social capital, and how communities can keep the capital as collective assets to prevent gentrification processes anguish its members.
