This dissertation explores the importance of individual residents' connection to communication resources in building and maintaining civil society in the contemporary urban environment. From the communication infrastructure theory perspective, this study explores three aspects of civic engagement—neighborhood belonging, perceived collective efficacy, and civic participation—as a function of communication infrastructure composed of two components—integrated connection to a neighborhood storytelling network and communication action context.Subjects--Topical Terms:

This dissertation explores the importance of individual residents' connection to communication resources in building and maintaining civil society in the contemporary urban environment. From the communication infrastructure theory perspective, this study explores three aspects of civic engagement—neighborhood belonging, perceived collective efficacy, and civic participation—as a function of communication infrastructure composed of two components—integrated connection to a neighborhood storytelling network and communication action context.

This study theoretically discusses and empirically tests the importance of integrated connection to a storytelling network (ICSN) as a critical communication factor in civic engagement. A neighborhood storytelling network is composed of local media, community organizations and residents themselves as key neighborhood storytellers. Having an integrated connection to a storytelling network indicates that a connection to one type of neighborhood storyteller stimulates connections to other types of neighborhood storytellers. This study examines the effect of neighborhood storytelling network by considering neighborhood-level communication action context factors.

By using Hierarchical linear modeling, structural equation modeling, and spatial analysis techniques, the current study provides strong empirical evidence of the importance of communication resources in civic engagement. First, integrated connection to a storytelling network was the most important factor in civic engagement more than any other factors considered. Second, this study conceptualized and empirically confirmed structural relationships among collective efficacy, neighborhood belonging, civic participation, and integrated connection to a storytelling network. Third, a contextual effect on civic engagement was observed. One neighborhood-level factor, AREA (whether living in a new or an old immigrant area), was a significant factor for all of the civic engagement. Living in an old immigrant area gives an advantage to the residents in terms of civic engagement. In addition, our HLM analysis showed that the importance of ICSN for civic participation is even higher in new immigrant areas than in old immigrant areas. Fifth, this study also considered the role of the Internet as a factor in civic engagement in the context of communication infrastructure: that is, whether individuals' Internet connection is a contributing or detracting factor in their civic engagement depends on the quality of communication environment in their everyday lives.
