Demographics hasa strong influence on community participation; however, how demographic characteristics interact with community participation has been yet to be focally studied. Dong Nai, a southern province in Vietnam, was selected as the case study owing to its high requirement of rural transport infrastructure. Questionnaires were sent to 438 households. An analysis of data was performed descriptively and with logistic regression. Community participation was recorded as financial, labor, material, and land contribution. Household composition, education, income, and member in household as community leader are among the highest influential factors to community participation.
