Abstract: Based on quantitative data analysis from a survey of 460 households in rural Ho Chi Minh City, this article analyzes the current state of citizen democratic practice across five levels of participation: People are Informed, People Discuss, People Implement, People Supervise, and People Benefit within the New Rural Construction program. Subsequently, it evaluates the interrelationships between the participation levels. The results indicate a fairly high mean assessment score. Notably, the people benefit level attained the highest score, signifying that the residents perceived tangible benefits from the program. Analysis of the relationships revealed that the people are informed level exhibited a causal relationship, positively influencing both the people implement and people supervise levels.
Keywords: Citizen participation, Democratic practices, New Rural Construction.
