摘要

This research focuses on the relative impact of demographics, political ideology, and civic culture in the formation of local policy preferences and community assessments. The driving premise is that, whereas demographic and ideological culture variables will be correlated with policy preferences, local civic cultural variables will have independent effects and will enhance the explanatory power of models of local policy preference. Based on analysis of responses to citizen surveys, the findings strongly suggest that civic culture plays an important role not only in strengthening the explanatory power of models of policy preferences but in improving understanding of the statistical significance of ideological culture and demographics.
