For a long time, government image and legitimacy of power have received intensive public attention in the multi-dimensional network society. In the circumstance of worldwide trust crisis of government, the construction of trustworthy government is also facing a severe test. Building a trustworthy government is an improving operational target to all countries in the 21st century, including democracy, energy and trust. The economy wealth and democratic consciousness which were accumulated in the 30-year's reform and opening up have caused the power of social capital to flourish in China. It is the partnership between the government and various forms of organizations as well as associations that supports the development and progress of the entire society. Therefore, constructing the trustworthy government has a very strong practical significance on establishing a good public image, social credit system and enhancing the credibility of the government. The issue of constructing the trustworthy government aroused the attention of public in such complex background, while what the public concerned most is not the social capital but how to improve the government's own credit.The perspective of relationship between social capital and government trustworthiness is the point of penetration of this thesis to trustworthy government constructing. By means of reviewing the evolution of social capital and analyzing the dual effect on government trustworthiness, this thesis taps the changes of social capital in the transitional period of county's history from the perspective of history and reality, and analyzes the formation mechanism of local government trustworthiness and the internal root of trustworthiness lacking. The most important theoretical breakthrough of this thesis is to elaborate the plan of trustworthy government constructing and logical description of penetration of the relationship between social capital and government trustworthiness. By field interviews and questionnaire, this thesis collected a sample of 129 county-level regional data for empirical analysis so as to study the effects and mechanism, and proposed the views such as relevance of social capital and government trustworthiness conductivity via using descriptive statistical analysis, ANOVA analysis, confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling. On this basis, this thesis finally proposed the constructing model of binary coordinate development by a comparative analysis of three models of constructing the government credit. The aforementioned model, including coherence of political trust, integration of diversity network and constraint of system standards, is the mutual promotion between the social capital and government trustworthiness.The study indicates that constructing of trustworthy government between social capital and government trustworthiness. It has two important features:the constant of social capital and the resonance of government trustworthiness. Data fitting and amendment results have confirmed the intrinsic relationship of constructing of trustworthy government in the West Country space, which reflects not only inter-related social capital, but also conduction characteristics of government trustworthiness. There are four main conclusions as following:(1) Formal rules of the human-constructed have been gradually emerging in county cooperation and economic and social development. However, the positive role of social norms is also dependent on other structural elements of social capital.(2) The size of network highlights the importance of organizational trust in the western region, but the means of assimilating network resources and implementing path have more relationships with interpersonal trust. Trust ties have respectively supported the network expansion and network resources drain. Social norms play a functional role in the stability of social networks, which serve as guidelines for action and scale.(3) The conductivity of the government capacity is the common feature of the trustworthy government, and the difference is about how many of transmission paths there are. It relates to the social capital stock and structure at external area and it is also a system factor which has an inner influence on the transmission path.(4) The development of government's capacity and the erosion of public trust in government cause the internal structure in coordination of government trustworthiness, but the internal inconsistency do not hinder the political promotion of government officials and the development of society and economy at county level, which has shown a special credit rule of self-support and self-coordination, and this is the special credit rule of "pressurization government".
