Abstract

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.
