原鄉減災挑戰的多重面向：以屏東縣北部為例

A Multi-Dimensional Exploration of Disaster Risk Reduction Challenges in Indigenous Communities: A Case Study of Northern Pingtung County, Taiwan

本研究旨在探討臺灣屏東北部原鄉社區於減災推動過程中所面臨的挑戰與可能的社區自主因應策略。透過深度訪談，收集來自屏東縣霧台鄉、三地門鄉與瑪家鄉等原鄉社區居民與相關防救災人員的經驗與觀察，整理出四個核心面向：居民親歷之重大災害經驗、防災整備與災中應變的實踐、現行防救災政策在地化落實之困境，以及對未來防災推動的具體建議。研究發現，原鄉社區普遍面臨防災人力不足、通訊與設備限制、政策連貫性不足等問題，然亦觀察到如青年會協助災後復建、族人自主儲備糧水等具文化根基的社區自主行動，展現出強韌的社區應變能力與文化資本。本研究呼籲未來減災政策應在制度上正視並整合在地原住民知識與組織資源，推動以社區為基礎的防災治理，提升原鄉地區面對災害的整體韌性。

This study investigates the challenges faced by indigenous communities of Northern Pingtung County, Taiwan, in the promotion and implementation of disaster risk reduction, as well as their potential community-based response strategies. Through in-depth interviews, this study gathers experiences and observations from residents and relevant hazard reduction personnel in the indigenous communities of Wutai, Sandimen, and Majia Townships. Four main themes are identified: past experiences of major disasters; practices in disaster preparedness and emergency response; difficulties in localizing current disaster prevention policies; and practical recommendations for future disaster risk reduction. The findings of this study reveal that indigenous communities often struggle with insufficient human resources, limitations in communication infrastructure and equipment, and discontinuity in policy implementation. Nevertheless, this study also observes culturally embedded forms of community-based responses—such as youth associations participating in post-disaster reconstruction and the customary practice of food storage and water storage—which reflect strong local adaptive capacity and cultural capital. This study calls for future disaster prevention policies to institutionally recognize and integrate indigenous knowledge and community-based resources, and promote community-based disaster governance in order to enhance overall resilience in indigenous communities.
