都市水岸社區的韌性與部落發展-桃園市撒烏瓦知的個案

Community’s resilience and tribal development in urban riverbanks: Case study of the Saowac in Taoyuan City

部落觀光是一種居民參與公共事務的過程，而社區韌性在過程中逐漸醞釀而成為部落因應外在災害的能力。本研究以桃園市的阿美族撒烏瓦知部落為例，運用現地調查、深度訪談及主題分析法，理解部落災害風險與居民災害意識，並探討從中而生的社區凝聚力如何作為社區韌性的基石。研究發現頭目對內團結族人、對外爭取社會支持，部落雖有外部環境風險及土地所有權爭議，卻反而能逐漸凝聚。過程中，信仰是從內部增加韌性的重要力量，而阿美族文化則象徵都市部落的重生與傳承。部落觀光除可傳揚阿美族文化，更可增加都市河岸觀光的多元性，亦內化成社區韌性。研究建議公部門推行社區防災時，除強化防救災硬體，社區的凝聚力、韌性與整體發展更是深遠重要。

 

Tribal tourism is a process that can engage residents in public affairs and enable them to cope with external hazards. This study conducted field surveys and interviews to understand how disaster risk prompted residents to develop tribal tourism and community resilience within the Saowac community in Taoyuan City. The results revealed that flooding threats and land-use issues gave way to tribal unity. Furthermore, engagement in tourism development allowed the tribe to develop resilience and a sense of belonging to the community. Cultivating edible wild herbs and celebrating harvests according to the traditional Amis ceremony, the Harvest Festival, led to the revival of tribal culture in urban areas. The study suggests that tribal tourism could thus be a tool to spread cultural awareness. Additionally, residents’ coherence, resilience, and involvement in community development are important when promoting community disaster prevention.
