ABSTRACT

This article attempts to comprehend the reality of local governance and residents' political participation, and to test empirically whether local governance influences on residents' political participation. The dimensions of local governance are size(citizen level), democracy, accountability, rationality and the patterns of political participation are community activity, contact of public official, and protest. The followings are the result of empirical test. Firstly, the level of local governance and residents' political participation were low. Secondly, correlations between dimensions of local governance were statistically significant and correlations between patterns of political participation were also statistically significant. Fourthly, the size was correlated with community activity. Fifthly, each of democracy, accountability and rationality was correlated with contact of public official. Finally, we need to enhance local governance in order to increase political participation.
