MODAL SOSIAL MASYARAKAT KECAMATAN BUNGURAN SELATAN DALAM PARTISIPASI POLITIK

Abstract

This study aims to find out what capital the people of South Bunguran District have in political participation. The method used in this study is a qualitative approach with a discrete type of research. The results of the study show that the high level of community participation in politics in Bunguran Selatan District cannot be separated from three important aspects which are the social capital of the people in the District, such as the network aspect. Trust and norms, the mass media is one of the social assets of society in participating in politics. With the mass media, people are able to get to know the candidates who will fight in the democratic party. The existence of the mass media plays an important role in increasing public participation in politics. Aspects of trust is also one of the important aspects in politics. Public trust in political candidates greatly influences people's participation in politics. Social norms are benchmarks in participating to assess couples who will be a five-year extension of society who will air their grievances. Factors such as personality are still the main capital of candidates in attracting public participation. Even though there are three aspects of social capital in society in politics, the practice of money politics still haunts the people in the sub-district in making choices in politics.
