社區林業參與及培力機制之研究──以台大實驗林為例

Participation and Empowerment Mechanism of Community Forestry- An Example of the Experimental Forest of National Taiwan University

本研究計畫之目的乃在建構台灣社區林業的參與及培力機制。因為過度的取用木材，林務局與林業社區居民建立了以保育和改善經濟的伙伴關係。透過社區培力，地方居民可以獲得改善生活條件的機會並和政府成為伙伴。經過3年的研究，本計畫以台大實驗林清水溝和內茅埔營林區為主要研究範圍，運用問卷、深度訪談來調查社區居民的動機、態度和參與方式。經由因素分析，分別粹取出動機因素3、態度因素4及參與方式3，其中動機因素及態度因素呈相高度相關。既有組織（例如社區發展協會）更容易加以運作且可以避免資源浪費。藉由概念的執行，讓社區能夠對與社區居民息息相關的林業議題有決策能力，培力的政策將較容易成功。 The purpose of this study is to construct a mechanism of participation and empowerment for community forestry in Taiwan. Because of over utilization of the forests for timber, the Taiwan Forestry Bureau established a stewardship program with community residents for conservation and improvement of the economy of forest-dependent regions. Through community empowerment, local people can receive more opportunity to improve their lives and keep the partnership with the government. Through a 3-year research at Ching-Shui-Kou and Nei-Mou-Pu tracts of the Experimental Forest of National Taiwan University, questionnaires and in-depth interviews were used to investigate the motives, attitudes, and routes of participation by community residents. A factorial analysis involving 3 levels of motive, 4 levels of attitude, and 3 levels of participation route showed significant positive relationship between motive and attitude. The existing organization (ex. Community Development Organization) will be easy to work with and it can avoid resource abuse. By implementing the concept and enabling the community to make decisions regarding forestry issues that affect the people, the policy of empowerment will be successful.
