Description
Summary:The data article examines the level of social cohesion among neighborhood communities in the urban context. Increased socioeconomic challenges of urban life affect how urban citizens interact one another, shaping their daily behavior as a cohesive urban society. Social cohesion is measured against five variables, namely trust, recognition, participation, reciprocity, and insertion. This dataset provides a closer look into how citizens of the megacity of Jakarta, Indonesia build relationships at the individual level to negotiate their social and cultural differences. It presents the pattern of social cohesion that binds the entire Jakarta population. The present dataset includes two thousand and fifty-two (2,052) survey questionnaires from Jakarta citizens. The data was collected proportionately from forty-four (44) districts (kecamatan) of Jakarta by using stratified random sampling techniques. This article includes information on reliability and factor loadings, as well as results of regression analyses.
