The selection of the respondents were based the active participation in resident association, citizenship and the years that they had lived in that area. Based on the analysis and discussion of the study, it shows that trust encourages residents to participate. Moreover, half of the respondents agreed that when residents distrust the local government, they will indeed not participate.
