Abstract
Urban community development is considered essential because, in the future, the population will reside more in urban communities than in rural areas. However, there is limited knowledge of this subject. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the factors that influence the success of community development. Data were collected using a questionnaire from 704 families, with a sample size of 124 households on accidental sampling technique. The hypotheses were tested using a stepwise multiple regression.
The results of the study indicate that the development of the community in all ten areas achieved a moderate level of success, while the four influencing factors had average values at a moderate level. The factors that significantly influence the success of community development at a 0.05 level, it was found that to depend on 1) the role of the community committee in development, which has a high level of influence (Beta=0.506), and 2) support from external agencies, which has a moderate level of influence (Beta=0.275). Together, these two factors explain 35.90% of the development success.
