A Theoretical Review of Urban Community Legal Literacy in the Context of Citizenship Rights and Obligations

Legal literacy is a crucial foundation for building citizens' awareness of their constitutional rights and obligations. This article reviews the current literature on the level of legal literacy in urban communities in understanding their rights and obligations as citizens. Using a qualitative approach based on literature studies, this article examines theories of legal literacy, active citizenship, and urban community dynamics. The findings indicate that the level of legal literacy in urban communities remains uneven, influenced by factors such as education, access to information, and socio-political participation. Recommendations are proposed for the government and educational institutions to more actively implement contextual and locally-based legal education.
