高雄縣市合併後社區大學推動學習型城市角色初探

A Preliminary Exploration of the Community Universities’ Role in the Promotion of Learning City after the Consolidation of Kaohsiung City and County

配合國土規劃政策，高雄縣市已於2010年底進行行政區域合併，目的在帶動區域整體的發展。據此，各社區大學勢必重新檢討其在城市終身學習推動中扮演的角色，以發揮其對於城市的影響力。再者，建構城市學習體系已是先進國家發展趨勢。因此本研究乃從學習型城市觀點，探究縣市合併後高雄社大推動學習型城市扮演的角色。研究中透過綜合文獻分析和焦點團體座談，論析關心社大發展的專家學者和社大工作者的想法，對照歐洲學習型城市發展指標，初步發現：社大辦學理念與國際學習型城市願景是可以契合的。在推動學習型城市的作為上，以「資訊和溝通」、「伙伴和資源」及「環境與市民資質」方面最受到關注；其中「伙伴和資源」是社大可積極介入的面向。並且，社大辦學已在「環境與市民資質」回應了學習型城市的作為，可進一步運用「資訊和溝通」形塑社大形象；關切「財富創造、就業和就業力」和「學習事件和家庭投資」。最後，本研究提醒學習型城市的推動仍有賴城市中各個部門的協力，其中市府團隊扮演關鍵性角色，其前提為城市發展願景與終身學習政策。相對應的公部門對社大治理政策更是支撐的基礎。

Kaohsiung City and Kaohsiung County have just undergone the process of areas consolidation at the end of year 2010 for the purpose of enhancing competitiveness of regional development. In this context, Kaohsiung community universities have to reevaluate their roles on lifelong learning in the city. Moreover, establishing city-scale learning system has been a trend in the advanced countries. Through literature review and the focus group study method, this study therefore attempts to gather comments and ideas of those who concern the development of community universities about the prospective role of the community university in lifelong learning. By referring to the Learning City Indicators in “Towards a European Learning Society” (TELS), this study found that the ideal and vision of the community university coincide with those of international learning cities. Three indicators-“information and communication”, “partnerships and resources” and “environment and citizenship”-were mentioned mostly. Among them, community universities should actively involve in creating “partnerships and resources” in the city. So far, community universities have already accomplished a great deal in the aspect of “environment and citizenship”. Further, they can use “information and communication” to shape the unique image of the community university, and also concern “wealth creation, employment and employability” and “learning events and family involvement”. Lastly, this study reminds that the promotion of ‘learning city’ depends on the collaboration among every sector in the city, and the Kaohsiung City Government plays a crucial role. Also, city’s vision for the future and lifelong learning policy should be positioned as a premise. Public sector’s governance rationale toward community universities is fundamentally important.
