From the analysis of the independent variables on the dependent variable in this study was obtained equation model Y = 8.074 + 0.279 X1 + 0.481 X2. Value Standardized Coefficients Beta attitude variable to variable behavior is positive of 0.316 and the significance obtained 0.000> 0.05, it can be interpreted that if the community attitude is improved, the higher community behavior in rural infrastructure development program be higher, or vice versa. Coefficients Beta Standardized value variable to variable behavior of local wisdom is positive by 0.518 and the Significance. value obtained for 0.000> 0.05, it can be interpreted that, if the community attitudes higher, at the same level the community behavior of rural infrastructure development program be higher as well, or vice versa. The conclusion of this description means that the tendency of local wisdom variables influence more dominant variables influence the behavior despite being compared with the influence of variables that affect the weak attitude in influencing behavioral variables.
