原住民族社會資本之研究

A Study on Social Capital of Indigenous Peoples

本研究旨在探討原住民族社會資本的現況，及其個人、家庭狀況與社會資本的關係。主要測量工具為研究者參與編製之社會資本量表，社會資本區分為結合型、橋接型與連結型三種類型，各類型皆包括信任、網絡與規範三項要素。樣本係以55個遍布於台灣地區（含蘭嶼）的原住民族家庭服務中心為平台，每一中心邀請15位年滿20歲以上之原住民接受面訪，計收回有效問卷790份。研究發現，原住民族社會資本的存量偏高，各類型與各要素之間有顯著的正相關。性別、教育程度、家庭經濟狀況、居住區域及居住地理位置，對社會資本的存量皆有不同程度的影響，其中，以居住區域對社會資本的貢獻力最為顯著。經對研究結果進行分析和討論後，本研究從社會資本觀點，提出五項有助於改善或促進原住民族生活機會或社會福祉的相關建議，以供相關政策或實務參酌。

This empirical study aims to explore the profile of social capital of indigenous peoples as well as the factors influencing social capital, in particular the factors of individual traits and family status. The main survey instrument is the Social Capital Scale established by a team that the researcher has been devoted to. The social capital is divided into 3 types, including bonding, bridging and linking. Each type includes 3 elements which are trust, network and norm. The target population is the collection of indigenous peoples aged over 20. 790 successful samples, introduced by 55 indigenous family service centers, were collected and the data were put into analysis. The results show that social capital of indigenous peoples is rich. Besides, there are significantly positive correlations between types and elements of social capital. Variables that influence the stock of social capital include gender, education, economic condition, residential distract and geographical location, while geographical location makes the most significant contribution. According to the findings of the study and based on a social capital perspective, five suggestions related to improving life opportunities and social well-beings of social capital of indigenous people are proposed.
