“…We know, for example, that some elector characteristics have a different importance locally as compared to federally or provincially. One such characteristic is homeownership, with previous research showing that the turnout gap between owners and renters is higher municipally than at other levels of government (Fischel 2001;McGregor and Spicer 2016;Jiang 2018). 12 An illustrative example of potential between-level research is shown in Figure 1, which includes a series of coefficient plots.…”

“…In comparison to small-population suburban governments, which are often seen as responding primarily to local homeowners (Fischel 2001), populous jurisdictions tend to include multiple politically active constituencies and interest groups (Anzia 2015; Dahl 1961; Stone 1989), of whom homeowner groups are merely one. Moreover, a relatively large proportion of voters in high-population jurisdictions are likely to be renters, 3 who typically vote at lower rates than homeowners (Jiang 2018; Squire et al 1987). Such jurisdictions are also more likely to contain large institutional, commercial, and business districts.…”

In the United States, particularly in high-cost urban areas, local resistance to multifamily housing development has been widely noted. In many metropolitan areas, legal authority over land-use regulation is assigned to jurisdictions that often are very small, and some scholars argue that this small-scale local control institutionalizes neighborhood-level opposition to new construction. Using census tracts as units of analysis, we assess the relationship between the population size of the city, county, or township that regulates a tract’s land use and the change in multifamily units between two recent waves of the American Community Survey (2008–2012 and 2014–2018). Results of regression analysis indicate that larger jurisdictional population size is indeed associated with increased multifamily construction. However, the relationship applies only for jurisdictions with populations exceeding 100,000 and decays at jurisdictional populations of more than 1 million. This nonlinearity may reflect quasi-monopolistic land-use control in the largest jurisdictions.

“…While the source of power itself can come from wealth, wealth, status, family, science, information, position, popularity, high social status and also the organized masses both in terms of religion and economy (Kang, Park, & Song, 2018). With a political strategy, formal and informal support will flow automatically for the elected candidates (Jiang, 2018).…”

This study aims to analyze the model of holding village head elections between times with a case study in Reban Village, Reban District, Batang Regency. This study uses a qualitative method with a sociological juridical approach(Dawkins et al., 2019). The results of this study indicate that: 1). Inter-village head election procedures in Reban Village, Reban District, Batang Regency are in accordance with the mandate of Article 47 of Law Number 6 of 2014 concerning Villages. However, referring to Article 45 of Government Regulation No. 43 of 2014 there are stages of selection that are not yet in accordance with technical rules: a). The holding of the election exceeds the specified time limit. Limitations of technical guidelines become the main obstacle b). Funding for the election is still fully burdened to the candidates for village heads. 2). The mechanism for electing village heads over time through a voting model with a representative system. Voters who have the right to vote are every family head who lives in Reban Village, proven by a Family Card. Elections are democratic with a turnout of 94.9%.
