Abstract

The spatial distribution of political processes mirrors the political interactions and political participation phenomena in ways which enhance the description and analysis of political culture in communities. Rural or urban, the communities base their development on the collective perceptions of localness, territory, and political geography aspects of their internal political life and their interactions with other communities. One question which often arises is whether political culture of a community relates to its geographic space, and geographic location, and how does this make sense in the interactions between real and virtual communities.
