This micro-level study demonstrates the significant influence of sociocultural factors on civic engagement, suggesting community cohesion is vital for participation.
The research aimed to determine the impact of sociocultural factors on the civic participation of residents in the specified urbanization. This was a basic and theoretical study with a quantitative approach, conducted at an explanatory-causal level using a non-experimental, cross-sectional design. The methodology was based on the hypothetical-deductive method. The study population consisted of 800 residents, from which a stratified sample of 260 participants was selected. Data was collected through surveys using questionnaires that were validated by experts and demonstrated high reliability through statistical testing. Analysis using Pearson's Chi-square test (χ² = 90.040, p = 0.000 < 0.05) showed a significant influence of sociocultural factors on civic participation. The study concluded that elements such as social cohesion, networks of trust, and shared values play a crucial role in strengthening civic engagement within the community. Promoting sociocultural development is key to encouraging greater citizen participation, thereby reinforcing the social fabric and fostering a more active community in collective decision-making.
