It is a fact that social capital development of the individuals started from the family expands through effects of the school, occupation and social life and differentiates the effect levels on political attitudes. Addition of social media power to mass media means in line with the developments in internet caused extremely different sources of gathering information to be occurred. All of these caused serious effects on the political culture structures of the individuals and the communities composed by the individuals. Innovations on methods of access to information lead to shaping the political attitudes passing beyond intuitive evaluation of the information as knowledge-based information analysis. Contemporarily, while social researchers are very keen to investigate the political behaviors of the population condensed in city centers, the investigation of this behavior in rural regions became neglected. The Development of Social Capital in Rural Areas, Diversification of Access to Information Tools, Diversification of Mass Media Means are all changing the structures of political culture and analyzing information. The main objective of this study is to put the factors that are effecting political behavior and culture in rural areas.
