Abstract: Community-based projects advocate for providing long term benefits to enrich communities' wellbeing. However, such projects are neither free of interference from political class nor consistently sustainable. Most recent studies evaluating the factors associated with sustainability of such projects typically examine case studies, or focus on environment, social and economic aspects. To fill this gap, this study used empirical data in a variety of community-based projects, in different geographical settings with different cultural experiences to examine the effect of community culture on sustainability and explore the interaction effect of legal-political framework on the relationship between community culture and sustainability. Using partial least square structure equation modelling and regression analysis, the study shows that community culture, has a positive significant effect on sustainability. Additionally, legal-political framework has an interaction effect. The study suggests that assimilating culture in the projects life cycle and aligning projects legislations with culture can result to sustainability.
