Keywords:
Community culture, Practical politics, Political identity, Cultural influence, Political participationAbstract
The culture of the people of Central Kalimantan (Kalteng) has a significant role in shaping practical political attitudes. In the context of Central Kalimantan with its diversity of ethnicities, traditions and social norms, culture is the main driver determining how society participates in processes and responds to political issues. Political historical experiences, including colonialism and the struggle for independence, have formed a strong political identity among the people. This cultural identity creates strong political solidarity, which can influence election outcomes and political decision making. This research discusses culture which influences the practical political attitudes of the people of Central Kalimantan. The aim of this research is to understand how the values, norms and cultural identity of the people of Central Kalimantan influence the way they engage in practical political processes and how culture influences their political views. This type of research is descriptive qualitative, the data collection method in this research combines library methods and field research. The research results reveal the importance of understanding the role of culture in practical politics. In this context, effective political policies must consider people's culture as a significant factor in understanding their political preferences and needs. Understanding culture in practical political attitudes can advance inclusive political participation and promote balanced representation in the political system. Through this research we can expand our understanding of how culture influences political action in various cultural contexts.
