Pengaruh Nilai Budaya dalam Politik Lokal di Kabupaten Bone

Abstract

This paper aims to describe how sociological factors can influence people's political behavior in an election, especially the election of regional heads. Pilkada is a space provided by a democratic system for wider public participation in political life. Democracy guarantees the same rights that are given to every community to participate in contesting the elections. However, so far the phenomenon that has occurred in Bone Regency shows that the tendency of candidates who will be promoted and elected in the pilkada are those who come from the nobility, there is a belief as wija mapparenta is instilled in a sustainable manner to the next generation. The cultivation of faith as wija mapparenta is also accompanied by the cultivation of the akkarungeng value where the nobles in Bone have akkarungeng values, namely getteng, lempu, ada tongeng, sipakatau and temmappasilaingeng. On the other hand, the Bone community still maintains local values ​​that exist in their area so that it raises the attitude of people who have the belief that akkarungeng values ​​are important things that must be owned by leaders in their area. This then affects their political behavior which is shown by the direction of support for candidates in the regional elections in Bone Regency.
