Abstract

Four counties (districts) in Guangdong are the examples of the study. The study through reviewing literature, annual financial data, questionnaires and surveys reveals the relationship between economic development and social trust. Based on the study of the data, we found that the trust levels of the counties were mediocre; regional economic development level and the level of trust showed a certain degree positive correlation. Overall, some factors such as income, education, occupation had an impact on the trust, whether it is better for economic development or a relatively weak region. Besides, we found that economy have a strong impact on specific trust. General trust is not obvious, however. Within this context, we try to think about the relationship between the economic development and trust promotion and try to change the low trust level.
