Abstract
The purpose of this research article is to investigate and explain the important role of local politics and government through the participatory process of the people's sector, as well as the development process through the participatory process of the people's sector in a democratic approach. The researcher focuses on the development of community, society, locality, politics, and people participation in mobilizing the country based on the 20-year national strategy, as well as developing cooperation with both the private and public sectors. Top-down and bottom-up development has been implemented, with a focus on the line of work according to the process that has actual operations based on the line of command for equality as well as the transfer of people's ways of life in the face of problems and changing conditions caused by the limitations of the state mechanism, which cannot comprehensively and timely respond to or solve people's problems. Finally, the researcher suggests that local politics can be developed through a democratic participatory process of the people's sector, which can result in the development of community, society, and locality by involving people and civil society in developing local community. This is considered to be the true awakening of the people.
