The purpose of this study is to empirically verify the effect of social capital on policy participation. Specifically, this study used data from the Seoul Survey and analyzed the impact of social capital on policy participation in policy participation on types of policy participation, such as complaint filing, information disclosure, policy discussions, and policy proposals. As a result of the analysis, it was found that among social capital, neighbor trust, reciprocity, and norms have a positive effect on policy participation, while government trust and networks have a negative effect. These results suggest that a sense of community increases policy participation, as previous studies have shown, suggesting that the expansion of social capital can drive policy participation for community development. However, in the case of social capital such as trust in the government and networks, it is interpreted that when the trust and trust in the government are high, citizens may have a low awareness of the need for policy participation.
