第三部門與社區健康營造

The Third Sector and Healthy Communities Building

台灣自1999年因應世界各國開展健康城市與健康社區營造之風潮，開始推動「社區健康營造計畫」，希望透過社區民眾共同參與，結合社區熱心人士、第三部門組織、醫療機構及政府資源等，以同時增進社區居民在「生理」、「心理」及「社會」之健康，並達「健康生活化，生活健康化」的目標。第三部門組織在「建立願景」、「運作情況」、「推動人物」、「資源運用」、「社區參與」、「跨部門合作」或「志工運用」等面向上，皆佔有很好的優勢，因此頗適合來推動社區健康營造。而相關的研究也證明人民對於第三部門推動社區營造之滿意度。台灣地區第三部門組織參與社區健康營造家數，截至2003年止有86家，佔所有承辦團體的28.5%，顯見第三部門在推動社區健康營造上，尚有許多發展之空間。本研究另透過個案研究，指出台北市北投八頭里仁協會在推動社區居民心理健康與社會健康之做法，以及值得學習、推廣之處。
