高屏客家地區敬字文化──以敬字亭為中心之實徵研究

The Hakka Culture in Kaohsiung and Ping-tung Hakka Regions: An Empirical Study of Words Respect Pavilions

高屏客家地區是承載客家文化的重鎮，保留了相當多的以敬字亭為中心的敬字文化，有其特色。惟時空變遷，當地敬字文化也在流失之中。本研究除實際進行田野訪視高屏客家地區的敬字亭外，主要採取問卷調查法，探討當前該地區居民對於以敬字亭為中心的敬字文化之認知與意識，並研擬振興與推廣敬字文化的可行發展途徑，最後提出結論。本研究田訪得出目前高屏客家地區共有敬字亭69座，其中美濃有25座居首，次為內埔有18座。而調查當地居民在敬字文化認知、不同背景變項在敬字文化態度上的差異情形，以及敬字文化未來發展諸方面，得出許多實徵成果與新穎發現，足資參考。

In terms of Hakka culture, Kaohsiung and Ping-tung Hakka regions are important areas where they retained a lot of words-respecting culture centering on words respect pavilions (Jing Zi Ting) and their features. However, the words-respecting culture is vanishing over time. Drawing information from a questionnaire survey, this study aims to examine local residents' recognition and consciousness of words-respecting culture surrounding words respect pavilions, attempting to propose feasible ways to revitalize and develop words-respecting culture and then to conclude this article. My study findings suggest that through the analysis of the difference in the recognition of words-respecting culture, various background variables related to the attitudes of words-respecting culture and future development of words-respecting culture, plentiful empirical results and novel findings can be obtained and presented for further research.
