“…Territorial identification can be understood as a "[…]sense of identity among residents with attitudes towards oneself as a participant in their government and expectations regarding governmental outputs and performance" (Morton, Chen, and Morse 2008, 47). Attachment to place has appeared in various studies as a central variable affecting municipality satisfaction or plans to move (DeHoog, Lowery, and Lyons 1990), social behaviour and political engagement (Manzo and Perkins 2006, 337), and municipal identity (Randall, Kitchen, and Williams 2008;Reese et al 2018). An affective attachment to a place shapes individual concerns, preferences, and motives for political action.…”

“…Territorial identification may influence voter assessment of local policies (Beck and Dye 1982;Brown and Coulter 1983;Lyons and Lowery 1989;Randall, Kitchen, and Williams 2008;Reese et al 2018;Titus 1981). The loss of political attachment may then, in turn, influence political attitudes and behaviour with respect to institutional structures and proposed solutions for municipal reforms (Kübler 2018).…”

“…Support for municipal reforms is higher among residents who assess the current service quality of local government as low (Bergholz and Bischoff 2015). Preferences for voice over exit when dissatisfaction is present also seem to be related to perceptions of local services (Kübler 2018;Lowery, DeHoog, and Lyons 1992;Reese et al 2018).…”

“…Education levels have been explored as correlates of local political cultures (Horrigmo 2013). Gender appears to be related to local service priorities: men are less likely to support municipalwide goals and are generally in favour of lower spending levels (Alozie and McNamara 2010;Herian 2014;Reese et al 2018). Further, age and length of residency in a municipality could be related to attitudes about local policy (Alozie and McNamara 2010;Hajnal and Trounstine 2014;Herian 2014;Kelleher and Lowery 2004;Reese et al 2018).…”

Lastly, income also affects several political variables at the local level (Almond and Verba 1963;Horrigmo 2013;Reese et al 2018;Verba and Nie 1987).…”

In general, the government’s provision of public infrastructure is carried out because it is part of the government’s obligation to provide public services. However, several cases show that an institution formed by the community manages the public infrastructure. One of them is the Panggung Lor Floods and Tidal Empowerment Management Association which is known as P5L (Paguyuban Pemberdayaan Penanggulangan Air Pasang Panggung Lor). The institution was created by residents of the Panggung Lor Sub-District in North Semarang District, Semarang City, Indonesia, to overcome and prevent floods and big tidal problems in the sub-district area. Since it was formed in 2000 until now, the institution has succeeded in overcoming its problems. This article examines the research results on P5L as an institution developed by the community to manage a public infrastructure that the government usually manages. Qualitative research is used to carry out the institutional analysis framework developed by Wageningen University and Research. This study indicates that since its establishment until now, P5L has been able to carry out the mandate given by residents of the Panggung Lor Sub-District and foster a sense of security against floods and high tides. The reason is that P5L can show good performance in 4 aspects, mainly that it can boost public confidence that the institution can manage the drainage system built on a community basis; However, initially, it was an independent institution formed and supported by the community currently it has become a partner of the government in managing parts of the urban drainage system; its services can create a residential environment that is free from floods and high tide and in green and clean conditions; as well as the supervision of its works is carried out directly by the community, as part of maintaining the trust given to the institution. For the institution’s existence to continue, the mandate given by the community must be upheld.
